From the United Kingdom comes this animated film about "man's best friend." This film is beautifully animated and the lone voice we hear is clear. From the beginning, as we see the dog's ball taken from him and put into a box, we wonder what's up. The main character is a dog, an older dog, not a puppy - so we wonder what his destiny is. I love the animation; it is so lifelike, particularly the dog's facial expressions and especially as he looks out the car door window. We sense his confusion and are confused ourselves. The sounds of a guitar softly strumming in the background is soothing and non-committal. The car arrives at its destination, the door opens and we sigh in relief at what we see.
The film's message is about how change affects everyone in our lives, including our beloved pets.
I give Dog House 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5-12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
