Rating:  - They don't make 'em like this any more
This movie is a true work of art, existing contrary to the Western notion that animated films are just kiddie stuff. The story is very mature and at times sad and depressing but it is not inappropriate; it's just not sanitized. It is basically an animated *drama* that happens to be about animals. I think if more people saw this movie and "Watership Down" they would look at the art of animation in a much more serious and respectful light. I'm a bit sad that I'm denied the full, 99 minute version ... Read More
Rating: - Great Movie.
I watched this movie years ago, and when I saw this on DVD, I had to have it. It is still one of my all-time favorite movies, though the ending is a bit sad, it is a great movie filled with action, adventure, and drama; A movie anyone can enjoy.
Rating: - How did this get made? It is amazing!
As a reviewer said below me It's a wonder this was made. This is a true sad tragic story that will make you think and will leave it's mark on you. Rarely do movies portray the reality of life and even more rare is that it is in animated form. By all means see this movie, it's bad enough that it has been thrown into obscurity by the delusional "everything is fine" public and that disney can only make animated features.
Rating:  - An Animated Animal Movie with Bite
It's easy to look at the cover of the movie "Plague Dogs" and then call the kids into the living room for an enjoyable Sunday matinee. There is a deceptive nature to the beautiful hand drawn animation of cute little animals that harkens back to the golden age of Disney animation. This would be a mistake however for it's that very deceptive quality to "Plague Dogs" that makes this film such a treat for adults and a rather disturbing nightmare for children.
Like it's predecessor "Watership ... Read More
Rating: - Worth seeking out the Australian version
I don't really have a lot to add about the film itself that the other reviewers haven't already said; this is a dark, distressing, relentlessly grim and harrowing film about two dogs on the run from an animal research laboratory. It has a somewhat slow pace at times, and much of the animation is crude by today's standards, but it has tons of character. It's not exactly a pleasant experience but it has great power and a worthwhile message. Just to make it clear (if it isn't already), this is mature material ... Read More
