Description:
When teenager Wilby Daniels became a part-time canine in THE SHAGGY DOG, he didn't realize that this condition would come back and 'hound' him again in his adult years. In this side-splitting sequel, Wilby's all grown up now, with a wife and son. Unfortunately, he's still subject to a furry transformation every time the inscription on an ancient scarab ring is read aloud ... not a comforting prospect when you've bounded into the public eye as a candidate for District Attorney!

In this sequel to The Shaggy Dog, Wilby Daniels (Dean Jones) has grown up and married Suzanne Pleshette, and has a young son. When the family comes home to find the house cleaned out by 'movers'--who Daniels knows are protected by the corrupt District Attorney John Slade (Keenan Wynn)--he decides to run against Slade in the next election. Meanwhile, hoodlums connected to the same crime syndicate get hold of the mystical ring that turns poor Daniels (via mid-'70s special effects) into Elwood, the dog owned by the local ice-cream vendor (Tim Conway). Lots of chase scenes, a little roller derby action, and some cherry pie throwing complicate both Daniels's bid for office and his quest to remain a human being. Kids will enjoy the last half of this 91-minute movie the most as Daniels spends most of the time in his dog persona and because his son becomes part of the plot to undo the bad guys. This G-rated feature is safe for all ages, but kids probably won't sit through it until age 4 or 5. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Rating:  - A Dog's Tale
This movie was a sequel to the clever 1959 movie "The Shaggy Dog." That movie was charming and clever, packing a lot of humor and numerous subplots into a relatively short film. Unfortunately, this film is a pale shadow of the earlier film. The jokes are often forced and a viewer can easily see that the special effects used to make the dogs talk are film loops of dogs chewing. I recommend this film only for people who are loyal Disney fans or fans of the numerous well-known actors in this film. ... Read More
Rating: - Entertaining
I thought the movie was interesting. I did not like the number of time the director had Tim Allen seemingly nude, Wew! I thought the themes were interesting: father accepts son's interest in theatre, father learns to spend more time with his family, and father discovers the courage of his daughter.
Shaggy represents the quest for the fountain of youth and the magic serum. Shaggy, instead of aging in dog years has an inverse equation allowing him to live seven times as long, for a ... Read More
Rating: - TIM CONWAY SAVES "THE SHAGGY D.A."
Disney's "The Shaggy D.A." is an inferior follow-up to the original classic, "The Shaggy Dog." The film stars Disney regular, Dean Jones, as Wilby Daniels (the part originally played by Tommy Kirk), who is now married to beautiful Suzanne Pleshette and is running for district attorney. Some crooks steal the cursed ring that was responsible for turning Wilby into a sheep dog when he was a teenager. The crooks thought the ring might be worth a fortune but discover no one will buy it, so they sell it ... Read More

Rating: - The Shaggy D.A. Should Be On DVD!
I have good memories of watching The Shaggy D.A. with my friends and I think this is a very cute Disney movie and I want to see it put on DVD and I would like it to be in widescreen and not an edited pan and scan DVD!
