Set in 1939 New Orleans, this colorful, song-filled story centers on Charles B. Barkin, a roguish German Shepherd with the charm of a con man and the heart of a marshmallow. Out for revenge against his double-crossing former partner, a cigar-chomping pit bull known as Carface, Charlie finds himself guardian to a lonely little orphan named Anne-Marie. Her astounding ability to talk to animals leads this unlikely pair on an adventure packed with thrills, laughs, tears and true love.
A brillinately animated, well-acted tearjerker movie, "All Dogs Go to Heaven" is probably one of the darkest G-rated animated movies ever made. Most likely, it should have been given a PG rating. Set in New Orleans, 1939, the movie stars a German Shephard dog named Charlie B. Barkin, who runs a rat race track where dogs unite to gamble and drink. Charlie's partner is the scheming, cigar-smoking Carface, a pit bull who secretly plots to kill Charlie so he doesn't have to split the profit. Although Carface's murderous attempt is successful, Charlie, upon reaching heaven, rewinds his Watch of Life and goes back down to Earth, seeking revenge against his former partner. He is joined by Itchy, a roly-poly daschound dog, and Anne-Marie, a little orphan girl with the ability to speak to animals. Because Anne-Marie can speak to rats who tell her which rat to gamble on at the race track, Charlie is soon back in business. For most of the movie, Charlie is constantly pretending to be Anne-Marie's friend but is just using her for money, distressing the poor girl repeatedly by breaking his promises to find her a family. Although Charlie begins to warm up to Anne-Marie in the end, the movie leaves the unsatisfying feeling that maybe Charlie wasn't that nice a guy. Despite this, the movie is very enjoyable. It is humorously morbid, yet tender at the end. You may want to think twice before showing it to young children who may be haunted by very dark scenes or wonder why the main character is such a jerk. Includes several lame but catchy songs and a rather bizarre singing alligator in a scene that makes no sense, but overall a terrific movie for more mature audience who are still young at heart.
