Family Dog

About This Movie

Family Dog is a curious little piece that started as an Amazing Stories episode and managed to slip into theaters alongside The Land Before Time. It’s like this quirky mix of animation and heart, wrapped in an odd family dynamic where the dog really takes the brunt of their frustrations. The pacing is pretty tight with its three vignettes, each revealing different layers of the family’s relationships and their sometimes absurd interactions with their pet. The animation style, distinctively influenced by the likes of Stephen Spielberg and Brad Bird, adds a unique charm. It’s not just about the dog; it’s a reflection on family life, with its ups and downs, and a dash of dark humor you don’t often see in family films.
