This review is from: The Shaggy D.A./The Shaggy Dog (DVD)

"THE SHAGGY DOG" and "THE SHAGGY D.A." are currently available as part of a Walt Disney DVD package. [Also included is a colorized version of the original 1959 film which has the distinction of being the first black & white film colorized for TV--because certain critics and TV executives swore that viewers would NEVER watch black and white movies now that color was available! I'm gonna skip the colorized version and focus on the DOG and the D.A.].

Walt Disney knew his audience. He realized that parents could take their children into almost any movie theatre in the world, load 'em up with popcorn, and keep the kiddoes entertained with a few cartoons, previews of soon-to-be-released Disney films, and a 90 minute comedy that Mom and Dad could also enjoy! "THE SHAGGY DOG" with Fred MacMurray, Jean Hagen, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran, Tim Considine, and lovely Annette Funicello still keeps its promise. The film entertains everybody.

Stumbling across a ring inscribed with an ancient formula, Wilby Daniels (Kirk) begins to change from a typical 50s teenager to a not-so-typical Shaggy Dog. This transformation occurs during the most unlikely times...and the mystery is solved at the end of movie! There are several great character actors including Cecil Kellaway, Richard Deacon, and nasty Keenan Wynn--who was usually typecast as the villain in many Walt Disney movies. But the interplay between Fred MacMurray (who up until the end of this film HATES dogs), Tommy Kirk and Kevin Corcoran is what makes the film a classic. The music is another component that moves the plot along.

"THE SHAGGY D.A." is an update of the original story. But this time the film is in true color. Dean Jones portrays Wilby Daniels as an adult...and the only returning character from the original film is Keenan Wynn. Several other fine actors try to add a little zing in order to speed the plot along. However, unlike its predecessor, "THE SHAGGY D.A." takes longer for the audience to accept the fact that 'the canine curse' is back! Without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, there are a couple of plot twists interspersed with an updated man-to-dog transformation! But as with T.S.D., the movie is family friendly and works extremely well with a large bowl of microwave popcorn.

Our whole family loves this set. Our 2 year old has only seen The Shaggy DA a couple times and loves quoting Tim Conway's character. "You're off the gravy train. Understand? No more gravy, sheesh!" The story is fun, the characters are fun, and it is a good clean movie. I don't really like the kid in the movie, because he is a bit disrespectful to his dad, but we point that out to our kids so they are aware that we expect very different behaviour. Anyway...You will love both the new and old versions. The original has a very young Annette Funicello, as well as Fred MacMurray, and lots of other great young actors. We enjoy both of these, and I bet you will, too!
