Animation errors, forgettable songs, a hilariously awful script

Animation errors, forgettable songs, a hilariously awful script and a nonsensical plot abound in Pound Puppies The Movie, a movie so bad, even by "slightly-older-than-preschool" standards, that even its target audience deserves better. While I dislike the "it's made for kids" excuse, there is media targeted towards the 6-year-old crowd that I feel deserves some leeway but this...is not one of those.

Today, Iâ(TM)ll be reviewing the strangely bizarre animated

Today, Iâ(TM)ll be reviewing the strangely bizarre animated masterpiece Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw. Released in 1988, Legend of Big Paw, based on a popular toy line from Tonka, along with a 1985 TV special and the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, follows the escapades of the Pound Puppies and Purries, led by Cooler, as they find the mysterious Big Paw, while restoring âpuppy powerâ?, which lets people understand animals, from the evil Marvin McNasty. To me, this is a perfect example of the term âguilty pleasureâ?. Itâ(TM)s entertaining to watch, in my opinion. First off are the cons and Iâ(TM)d like to talk about the animation quality. Itâ(TM)s pretty subpar, by todayâ(TM)s standards. For a film that took literally five months to have it completed, by all means, it looks rushed. Secondly, the screenplay was sloppy and incoherent. This movie doesnâ(TM)t follow the continuity of the 1986-87 series left off and it takes place in the 1950s whereas the original series was originally set in the 1980s. Despite the poor writing by Jim Carlson and Terrence McDonnell, I would say that the story is actually bizarrely interesting, combining the Bigfoot and King Arthur legends, a magical bone that can let animals communicate with humans, elements of a heist movie, a destiny passed down through generations, a machine that reverses the polarity of oneâ(TM)s moral compass and the existing Pound Puppies property. Now itâ(TM)s time for the pros. Probably the best thing in this movie were its musical numbers. Definitely my favorite out of the whole bunch is âAt the Poundâ?, performed by Ashley Hall. Many of its songs were inspired by popular 1950s songs, including Elvis Presleyâ(TM)s âJailhouse Rockâ?. The second positive aspect are the characters and the voice acting. Brennan Howard, Ruth Buzzi, Nancy Cartwright, B.J. Ward, Hal Rayle, Cathy Cavadini, the late George Rose, Tony Longo and Frank Welker all give out pretty solid performances, mainly Brennan Howard, who provided the voice of Cooler. Oh, and I should point out that none of the designs look even close to the original character designs of the original cartoon. Probably my favorite character out of all of them is Cooler, because he can be pretty brave and in a bunch of scenes, he pretty much acts like a leader. Overall, while this film is pretty dated and poorly made by todayâ(TM)s standards, Legend of Big Paw can offer fun and entertaining songs, interesting characters and a story that couldâ(TM)ve been ridiculous but ends up being fascinating.
