ShangLuda Admirable film.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

David Brailsford It was a shining example of what could have been an excellent addition to the Disney afternoon lineup in 87, but Disney chose to air this on thanksgiving prime-time when it had nothing to do with thanksgiving and it preempted a news show, not surprisingly Nielsen showed channels changing (your target audience was getting in bed adults are not going to keep watching this) The story follows some multi colored mini dogs from another dimension that have the ability to travel between realms using a magic crystal that works like a key which will open a limited number of doors to jump realms. The dogs for reasons unknown speak fluent English (cause 80s fantasy?) however hide this to blend in with normal dogs. The Protagonist the blue dog gets adopted by a boy and with his help tries to stop an animated Alonzo Hawk like Antagonist who wants them in his collection for reasons. There is some really nice 80s animation here and it was seriously a good effort into how much detail was put into the characters for a show that was intended for weekday after-school TV. Arguably some might say it felt a bit like care bears but it had some interesting twists like what happens when the fluppy's ears get scritched. Yeah admittedly it didn't have a lot of story to it but it was a pilot, the planned things they had for the series seemed fairly compelling (more story ideas, new characters). Its really depressing it won't even get remembered.

Dawalk-1 For those of y'all who didn't get to see/read my previous review on this, I decided to delete it to type up a new one and change my rating for it. I was inspired to have second thoughts after reading a review of this on a blog, I'll elaborate more on that in a moment. As one of Walt Disney Television Animation's earliest productions, it was to be the stepping stone to a T.V. series that never came to be. When this first aired, it was a few days after I was born. I wouldn't see any of it until I visited someone's house and caught it there in the mid '90s. I saw only part of it (which was when Jamie and Claire have to hide the Fluppy Dogs in the basement from Jamie's mom), but it looked interesting. Almost five years ago (late May 2011), after reading and learning more about it on Wikipedia, I watched the whole special on Youtube. I'm glad I was able to do both. Though I am so and originally gave this ten stars, I now have second thoughts about that. I had a change of mind and decided to reduce it to six stars instead because, again, I was influenced by a piece a read on it by a blogger. He pointed out that it's not without its flaws, notably the writing. Nobody get me wrong. I still enjoy it despite that, but it's not totally perfect or even the best. I don't detest it, I still find it to be passable, but I don't consider it my most favorite either. I can't really hate this enough to give this the lowest rating possible here, as there have been worse and it's not as bad as those other, worse things. So it's not like it's very bad and I think I'd still buy it anyway if it were available officially on DVD. If there's any one good thing I can say is that at least the animation quality is up to Disney's standards as they usually have been. The characters are alright, although better could've been done with the Fluppy Dogs. It'd been mentioned this never went further than the pilot stage due to low ratings and shortage of viewer support. The blogger believes this happened, because of its imperfections, such as the writing. The points that he made, maybe he did have them there. I like how Disney attempted to adapt the toy line and other merchandise, and it was a nice try, but could've been better. I wish it were, I would've loved to see this as a series. It left me wanting more. Had it been expanded upon, all it would've needed was some fine-tuning. Regardless of the problems with it, I, too, would recommend this. Since at least it's not like the mindless drivel that's too common on kids' T.V. nowadays. This is a good watch if y'all don't happen to find anything better.

BeccaAmell Oh those Fluppy Dogs... Whom could ever not like or remember this movie? I have gone through so many years of my life asking friends and others if they have ever seen or heard of this magical film. Rocking 80's fashioned dogs that can sniff out invisible, crystal accessed doors, how amazing!! .... No one ever could relate to the childhood wonder that i felt watching this flick. My parents old Lazy Susan, wood paneled TV had me glued when this Movie came on. No David Copperfield impressions my brother had to offer could pull my little Quarter Roy Oshkosh B'Gosh butt away from this movie!! I will, mark my words, show this to my children in hopes they too will pass on the legacy of The Fluppy Dogs. It took me years to track down a copy of this flick and i finally found it. It is offered in parts on YouTube! And there are lots of free programs that will download YouTube clips!. If anyone needs more help on obtaining there very own copy just let me know!! And may The Fluppy Dogs Live on!

mrf_ool i used to watch this movie as a kid over and over until the me and my brothers broke to tape, wish i could buy a copy for my kid and nephew. it was great movie even that i don't i have seen it in about 10 to 12 years. it was a good talking dog movie i don't know why it wasn't sold to the public it was on TV but as far as i know never sold in store. as far as i can remember the dogs walked and talked and their were 5 all up and they were different colours like blue green pink yellow and purple there are movies out there that don't get to make it to the store. i just don't know why it should have to be ten lines to be able to make a comment about a movie but hopefully i will be able to get a couple one day
