5.0 out of 5 stars A DVD MUST...so where is the DVD?, July 4, 2006

By

This review is from: Rover Dangerfield [VHS] (VHS Tape)

ROVER DANGERFIELD is a very entertaining and well animated feature. The quality of animation is top-notch. The character design is outstanding - especially the turkey, hen and rooster (their scenes are BRILLIANT) - and, most of all, Rover himself. The backgrounds are beautiful and the layouts are terrific. Honorable mention goes to the excellent 3D intro.

The story, with its fine mix of comedy, adventure, and romance, can be enjoyed by a wide age range. Although the city-slicker-among-country-bumpkins plot has been done before, ROVER DANGERFIELD has enough of its own twists and charm to keep it entertaining. The lessons taught (take responsibility for your actions/think of others, not just of yourself) give the movie a solid theme. Most scenes are very funny, however, Rover/Rodney's humor was needed in a couple of scenes to keep things lively. The script also needed some trimming here and there, as too much unnecessary dialogue tends to make some scenes drag. More of the storytelling could have been left to the talents of story artists and animators. In this case, action does speak louder than words..

Being a movie that can be enjoyed over and over again, here's hoping ROVER DANGERFIELD gets the respect it deserves and makes its DVD debut very soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rover, October 26, 2003

This review is from: Rover Dangerfield [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It's the best (animated) movie I've ever seen.I saw it for the first time 11 years ago - when I was 7 years old. Great story about dog who got lost and found love...I like it and I would give my life if I could see Rover on DVD.
Sorry about my possibly incorrect English but I come from Czech Republic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a family fun movie, July 15, 2000

This review is from: Rover Dangerfield [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I don't often (well, never) write reviews but Rover Dangerfield is one that deserves a five star rating for family fun. The kids loved watching Rover and really enjoyed singing along with "I'll Never Do It on a Christmas tree". I strongly disagree with Leonard Maltin's assertion that the film "film wavers uneasily between adult and juvenile appeal". My kids never asked, or needed to, one of those "what's a ----- Daddy". It was just a fun movie for all.
