Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

halograce Have loved this movie, since first seeing it 40 years ago. Sweet and charming, witty and fun. The dogs are of course adorable, and the plot simple and captivating. Mark Garrison, who is referred to in the summary as Jim, I believe someone has their movies mixed up, Jim Douglas was in the Love Bug. Anyway, Mark and Fran are likable folks, the movie is also a favorite of my Grandsons, 3 and 5. Love Bug, Swiss Family Robinson, Old Yeller and Ugly Dachshund, are repeated often. The movie opens with a race to the hospital for the birth of the Dachsie puppies. Danke has three little girls puppies, and a Great Dane is pawned off on Mark, to be nursed by Danke. Seems the Dane has too many puppies, and so this begins the story. The Dane is the dog Mark has been yearning for, so he conspires to keep him in the family, even after he is weaned. The yarn scenes and the paint scenes genuine comedic antics of the best kind, and the party scenes at the end, classic. Don't miss this one, if you enjoy the Disney movie greats.

march9hare Dean Jones picks up another paycheck in this weak, silly Disney outing about showdogs. Along for the ride are Suzanne Pleshette (who was still a pretty fresh face when this, er, "dog" of a movie was made) and Charlie Ruggles, evidently suckered out of retirement to play a dottering trainer. Ordinarily, cute dogs or cats or something will usually save an inane picture, since neither the plot nor the human actors can. Not this time. Granted, the film was made in '66, so just maybe we can overlook the sexist attitudes, but the stereotypical suburban sets and boorish treatment of animals is over the line. Dachshunds, for example, should never be encouraged to jump on or off furniture since this can result in severe spinal injury, and, even though this was known when the film was made, the dogs are made to do it anyway. The aforementioned Dean Jones, a longtime Disney staple, apparently has no problem subordinating himself to animal acts, while Ms. Pleshette must have rationalized her part as "paying her dues". The only thing worse that comes to mind are the actors who were content to play second fiddle to a sock puppet in "ALF". If you have little children who just love seeing movies about cute dogs and watching grownups humiliate themselves, then this is the movie to see. On the other hand, if you're on a transatlantic flight and are forced to watch this execrable film, consider jumping.

El Gringo This movie is excellent. Funny gags throughout the film and just a great comedic story. If you are a dog lover than you will be an "Ugly Dachshund" fan. The dogs are adorable and the actors do their part to make this wonderful family comedy. Totally under-rated.I suggest sitting down a group of young kids and asking them what they think of it, I'll bet that the movie keeps their attention from beginning to end. This is a classic Disney movie on the same level as the "Love Bug" series and all of the other great film s released by the company during those years.I recommend "The Ugly Dachshund" to anyone who loves family movies. *****

Troll-19 I first saw The Ugly Dachshund before I owned or shall I say a longhaired dachshund owned me. After seeing the movie the second time, I realized the dachshunds did not need extra training to totally upset a household. A delight to all dog lovers and dachshund enthusiasts in particular. Although the title pooch is a great dane, it is a "doxie" movie delight.
