why can't these dogs? Even the dead tacobell dog had animation.

The Music SUcked wts...was this done by a garage band and busboy choir? Way to ruin a Holiday film eh?

I happened to like this cute, funny, all family watching movie. If you didn't want to watch it, DO SOMETHING ELSE!! Noone is forced to watch TV now adays unless you live in a communist household.

Then houses where wives are forced to watch football and other sports must be communist households !

Ever hear of a 2 TV household?

[–] AncientChineseSecret 13 years ago

Yes...yes I do? I have to hold the antenna with my tin foil hat to get the reception just right too.

Seriously...I want anwsers not opinions and personal attacks. Why no mouth movement?

Feedback makes the world a better place n'est pas?

The fact that their mouths don't move is the LEAST of this movie's weaknesses--in fact, it isn't a weakness at all!! This style of "telepathic" animal communication with no facial animation/manipulation is great, and works beautifully most of the time. Look at the 'Homeward Bound' films. Masterpieces. They rely completely on the animal actors' remarkable and uncannily human-like performances. Not to say that I don't love movies and series in which the animals' mouths DO move, because I do adore many of those as well. But using this method wasn't a bad choice.

I like you, Um. I like largeness...

homewardbound left us all bored to death...even silent movies were better...next time use hand puppets k because at least you can manipulate the hand to a voice ...jim henson knew how...I mean what shall you defend next a waxed figure person in the film with "telepathic" voices....come on people it's like having a film badly voiced over...My dog was really PO'd because the mouths weren't moving...he couldn't understand who was speaking...ROFLMAOC Punked

Oh, okay, and here we all thought you were being serious...=p ^__~
I completely stand by what <i>I</I> said, though. :D Ain't nobody who's anybody don't love Homeward Bound, and if you're "bored" or confused by such movies, well...I have no sympathy whatsoever. More like contempt. 😡

Yeah, that's very obvious now. XD My troll detection is typically good, but his first post seemed somewhat convincing.

When we saw the first one, this was a distraction, but you get use to it. I thought the films were cute and the kids really enjoyed them.

[–] thereseuphemiaabernathy 13 years ago

Hehe, I found them cute, too--and I watched at age 23. ^^
