The dog just vanishes, or is subsumed or assumed or something, leaving Wilby (Tommy Kirk) to explain to his dog-hating, allergic, mailman father (Fred MacMurray) that he's turned into a canine. The Shaggy Dog seems like the first instance of Disney packaging, as most of the principals were either Mouseketeers or had been in the short Disney segment Spin and Marty or a previous Disney film. As successful as The Absent Minded Professor for humor, Dog follows Wilby and a rival as they vie for the hand of the new French girl in school, and the girl next door (Annette Funicello). The exchanges with Wilby's younger brother, Moochie (Kevin Corcoran), who always wanted a family dog, are alone worth the price of the tape. Indeed the most successful element of this overall endearing film is the re-pairing of the two actors as brothers (they had done so before in 1957's Old Yeller). This is family fare that's diverting without pandering, a feat that the later Disney regime would have a difficult time re-creating. --Keith Simanton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Family EntertainmentFantastic movie. Highest quality, old style entertainment. Movies aren't made like this anymore! I would deem it a must have if you enjoy entertainment that is wholesome and great viewing for anyone any age. Rating: - *Great Movie For Everyone!*A fun movie for everyone in the family to enjoy.Lots of funny moments and just great entertainment. Rating: - Great Family FunOne of the best! All families should get to watch this movie together. MacMurray is great and Disney's special effects for this era are really amazing. It is such a shame that Hollywood and even Disney today is incapable of making CLEAN movies that everyone can watch without explaining why that word or that behavior is inappropriate in our family. This is a wholesome movie that any Christian family can watch together with confidence and relaxed that they won't be embarrassed by it. Rating: - I always loved this movie!This is an excellent movie. They also have The Shaggy D.A. on dvd. I just wish they'd put Shaggy Dog 2 (which was set in between those movies, while the main character was in college) on dvd as well. Rating: - Doggone Good! Classic family comedy for all ages! I first saw "The Shaggy Dog" while at camp Matollionequay as little girl years ago and fell on the floor laughing. When I saw it was available on DVD, I quickly purchased it to have it for my family so my 5 year old daughter, husband and I could enjoy it together. The movie is simply infectious and has humor for all ages. I mean, the whole idea is funny - a shaggy dog driving a car, a shaggy dog talking on a phone, a shaggy dog wearing pajamas, a shaggy dog chasing SPIES??!! "The Shaggy ... Read More |
