Hukkle, a review by goodguy
(From goodguy's Watch Log on January 3rd, 2011) The Shaggy Dog, a review by KinkyCyborgTitle:The Shaggy Dog Year: 1959 Director: Charles Barton Rating: G Length: 101 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.75:1, Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: Mono, French: Dolby Digital: Mono, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Mono Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars: Fred MacMurray Jean Hagen Tommy Kirk Annette Funicello Tim Considine Plot: The first live action movie ever produced by Walt Disney is on DVD for the first time ever! Fred MacMurray heads an all-star cast that includes Jean Hagen, Tim Considine, Kevin Corcoran, and Annette Funicello in her big screen debut. After years of on-the-job clashes with cranky canines, mail carrier Wilson Daniels (MacMurray) sees man's best friend as his worst enemy. This makes for one hairy situation when a magical ring accidentally transforms his teenage son, Wilby (Kirk), into a lumbering sheepdog! Can Wilby break the spell and foil a team of international spies, or will both he 'and' his dad wind up in the doghouse? Packed with sidesplitting antics, slapstick chases, and hilarious sight gags, this madcap adventure will tickle the funny bone of every two- (and four-) footed member of your family! Extras: Scene Access Audio Commentary Featurettes My Thoughts: The original telling of this Disney movie. I've not seen the remake with Tim Allen but I'm willing to bet this version is better. Typical family fare for the era with some very amusing moments. The younger brother who desperately wanted a dog was a scene stealer. This was Annette Funicello's film debut... looking sweet and innocent, completely unaware of the busty beach beauty she would later become. What made watching this special for me was my 4 year old daughter, who usually has ZERO attention span walked in shortly after I started watching this, plopped herself down on my lap and watched the entire movie with me. It was the first time we watched a movie together in it's entirety after many other failed attempts.... and I loved every minute of it. For that alone, I'll never forget this movie.

Woods (Trevor Markowitz), Martin Doyle (Boss Albert), Anna Kostan (Dr. Tom's Receptionist), Andrew Prashad (Barista), Ellora Patnaik (Nurse), Roz Bell (Street Musician), Craig Stickland (Make Out Boy #1), Jordan Gatto (Make Out Boy #2), Daniel Victor (Band Singer) Given the opportunity to relive past regrets gives her the chance to act differently. Through these "time-travels" she doesn't change the past but will be learning some life leasons. Going by the first episode it seems like a series I could really enjoy. In this episode Erica gets the chance to prevent an incident at a high school dance which had resulted her being ridiculed for a while. But ends up making it even worse, but she learns the lesson not to care too much about what others think of her. I just read that there is a UK and a US remake planned of this Canadian series.
