Why this title you ask? It's simple, you needed perfection, skill, wit and a project that works so successfully that you only wish to turn back the clock to 30 years ago when computer animation has caused a major revolution when it comes to animation. Toy Story was the ground-breaker and since the rip-roaring success of that movie, more and more animated films relied on CGI to make it pleasurable viewing to animation addicts, children and some critics who accept this as today's norm.
Even if today's norm, we sometimes have to accept the fact that animation and cartoons on TV and film (and allsorts) have started to make us feel that we are just on a point of making us lose that loving feeling. (Personally I'll never lose my love of the Toy Story quadrology) Animation was loved by many, not the few during the 1930's with Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny plus more animated films would be registered as golden, timeless classics from the western animation of Beauty and the Beast and the highly acclaimed anime Spirited Away. Animation was pure gold in those days.
Wait a minute, what am I talking about? I meant to review this movie, Dogtanian and the Three Muskelhounds. This is actually a rip-off of the popular 1981 anime by BRB Internacional. I admit I've seen the series myself and also the sequel series too. Did I like it? For both of them, no. I didn't like the narrative, the flaws that pop up and also in one episode which I won't say of which one it was has the ultimate cliche of watching entertainment, the idiot plot.
In this movie itself, it has the idiot plot with not of the characters, not of the storytelling and not of the plot but for the whole movie itself. I wanna condemn this movie for adding in a character that does not appear in the original 1981 anime. Captain Bloodhound appears after an hour into this movie. He is actually a bloodhound (I know you're cringing) plus he has a parrot that doesn't do much. Why is this trying to lure kids into watching this pointless film version of it and why are many saying that the 1981 anime has a successful cult following when it shouldn't have to be in the first place?
I should say the Richard Lester version of The Three Musketeers is the one to watch most and also the Four Musketeers whereas both these films were actually an epic film filmed at the same time. Check it out and the same to the 1989 sequel if you wanna.
Sorry if I am being a nuisance to you if this review doesn't appease you much but if there are any other words to add about this movie, I might do so in the near future.
