Obscure Dog Films

My friends think I'm nuts, but here goes - does anyone remember an animated movie about an orphaned puppy - who may or may not have been called Scruffy. There was a fire at the beginning, and I think mummy dog threw him out of a window to save his life before 'perishing'. There was a collie in the cartoon as well who nursed a slipper, thinking it was her puppy.....

I think I seen it circa 1987....

We could also talk about Sam Fuller's White Dog.

How about "Eyes Wide Shut"? Not so obscure, But it's got "dog" more than covered.

Or "Oh, Heavenly Dog!"

J.D I love you. Don't suppose anyone remembers Hambone and Hilly - Hilly was a little old woman who is moving house, Hambone is her cute ickle dog who gets left behind but somehow manages to make the journey on his own....

Hey Pink. I love a good weep at doggy films. Fluke got me right there. Pow. Boy did I sob at that. I know Watership Down isn't dogs but oh my god it's a weepie and a half!

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh and the original "Incredible Journey". If you ignore the crap acting by the human cast that is. When the wee boy thinks the bull terrier hasn't made it cause it's old, and then it comes running across the field....

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG, it's the 'bright eyes' song Rumpy!!

When the wee boy thinks the bull terrier hasn't made it cause it's old, and then it comes running across the field....

Don't! I'm choking up!

There was another one as well, can't remember the film - it may well have been the Littlest Hobo, but there was a little white fluffy dog following a bigger brown dog, and the white one got run over. Some hitchhiker buried it on behalf of it's little brown friend, and the little brown friend continued it's trek. With me?

Evil bunny! What was the one with the torn ears called again? Colonel Ragweed or somesuch?

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

No, but please stop!!!!

The Plague Dogs will forever be famous among industrial freaks thanks to Skinny Puppy.

I'm sorry, but they all lived happily ever after... well except Hazel who went to wabbit heaven - but not before he sired lots of ickle Hazels. Man it's all comin back to me now.

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

B-b-but did u not see the look on the wabbits faces??

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, fine Pink, I'll just post crazy ethnic seagull quotes from Kehaar, then. ;-) And Rumpy is right, not *much* death...sorta.

One of the more bemusing discoveries I made was that there was an animated Canadian series which retold the story and then a bit more over the course of two seasons, that John Hurt played Woundwort rather than Hazel that time around, and that Kehaar was voiced by Ric Mayall! It was apparently far less grim and more Disneyesque in comparison to the original film and therefore nowhere as cool.

Oh the Plague Dogs was another classic. Poor little mites. I'm going to go buy these on dvd.

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Fine, you brutes!!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Richard Adams did write a follow up book Ned - Tales from Watership Down. I wonder if this is where the series came from.
