For those who are too lazy to look it up (which was me as well), a "Big-lipped alligator moment" is basically an unusual scene in a movie that appears without any set-up or any meaning to the plot going forward. Practically just a "HAHA funny shenanigans, random stuff go brr" moment.

@@marley7868 I know, this is just the definition of it incase everyone was wondering. This is one of the rare cases where it has more than one thing to do with the plot of the movie, but it still falls into the category because there was no set up for it before so it makes carface's death (in my opinion) less impactful because of it.

People noticed, none of them cared, both her and her mom made multiple outcries, including a breakdown in front of an agent that resulted in a therapist finding out about all of it and reporting it to CPS. Investigation was dropped when her mother assured them she'd divorce and move away from her husband. She hesitated because she was afraid of losing everything and that's when it happened. They were both failed by several abhorrent, garbage systems that were somehow even worse than they are today.

Even though I've made some big mistakes, I've learned my lesson about one thing that's really important in life -- and that's friendship." *ITCHY* "Here's Itchy, my faithful pal. We go way back. He's a little high strung and every time he gets nervous he starts itching all over! Never fails. Even though I'm the brains in this outfit, Itchy's a great mechanic. He can fix anything -- well almost! Together we make a great team." *ANNE MARIE* "Anne Marie, a real cutie. Her smile gets me every time. And, boy, does she have a way with animals. She can talk to mice, horses, turtles -- not to mention dogs! Anne Marie really loves me even thought I'm not always as nice as I should be. She's really a terrific kid -- just wait 'til you meet her." *CARFACE* "Even though Carface and I used to be partners , I always knew that deep down inside Carface was mean and greedy. You can't trust Carface as far as you can throw him -- which isn't far 'cause he's a pretty big guy! And now that I've met Anne Marie, he's double crosses me for the last time." *FLO* "Ahh, Flo. She really has a heart of gold. She runs an orphanage for all the lost puppies in town. What a handful! And even though she's a real softie, she does a great job of keeping everyone in line -- including me!" *KING GATOR* "I met my friend King Gator by accident. He almost gobbled me up! 'Course he didn't know I could sing and, boy does he love music. It'd good to have a buddy as big as King Gator 'cause he really comes through in a pinch -- as long as the door is wide enough!" so tl;dr charlie learns the magic of friendship or something lol

Have you read Don Bluth’s autobiography? He goes into detail about how excited Burt Reynolds was to use his “dog voice.” No one had the heart to tell him it was bad. And since Don already worked with Dom Deluise, and knew of his friendship with Burt, he asked him to join the project to talk him back into his normal voice. That’s why Charlie and Itchy have such dynamite chemistry.

[@sweets_Cat88]

@@marley7868 I had this fan fic idea of of how and All dogs go to heaven 2 would have played out. In 1949 Charlie is sent to earth by Annabelle, she tells him his mission is to find itchy. When he asks he is told it Itchy’s time to come to heaven and felt it be better if Charlie is the one to welcome him. Charlie is honoured but also not ready to see his best friend die but gets sent. Down on earth Charlie is getting use to how much time passed the updated technology getting distracted by Television and how he never seen something like that in his… existence. He hears a dog yell and out comes a Dachshund that runs into Charlie. Very young looking Charlie mistakes him for itchy but the Dachshund snarled and tells Charlie that he’s Scratchy and asks how he knows about His grandfather Itchy. Carface is back and notices Charlie on earth and wants revenge for the entire gator and has hounds out to kidnap Scratchy . Charlie comes to the rescue. Notices how Carface’s new lair is surrounded by clocks and Carface tells Charlie. He wouldn’t be able to tell since he keeps his clock hidden. Mocking him ( oh yeah Charlie is given his life watch but it set to a limit time. Once it stops he back to heaven) Carface sees Charlie’s watch and takes it. He dangles the watch over a ledge taunting Charlie that he had the power to end his existence.( more like he not allowed back in heaven and will go to hell) Charlie is conflicted. Save the pup or go for the watch, he has to think and be smart. Last time he prioritised the watch it cost him the life of a human child. But scratchy manages to get Charlie’s watch while holding out a clock that was Carface’s car face is shocked and screaming at the pup to let go of the clock but Scratchy accidentally drops the clock and it breaks. Carface isn’t sure what’s going to happen but the ground shakes and splits apart. Skelton like hands come out and grab Carface. A dark voice calls his name and he is being pulled to hell. The voice tells Carface he will never go back as he dragged to hell. .. Charlie looks at his watch, his time on earth is almost up. With a heavy heart he tells Scratchy if he can visit itchy before he goes. On the way Scratchy is crying. He says he not ready to say goodbye. Charlie comforts the pup telling him his struggles to say goodbye to love ones. Including a little girl he once knew. In a back yard inside a dog house Scratchy approaches the dog house. 13 year old Itchy ( in dog years that be 91) Itchy is stun to see Charlie and with his old aging body he get a closer look. The 2 friends have a friendly laugh but Charlie had to break the news that he’s here to bring Itchy to heaven Itchy under standing the situation smiles and says he had a feeling it was time and is happy that he was the one to welcome him. Itchy says goodbye to scratchy and tells him to keep an eye on her as he nudges to the house. Charlie was sure who they were talking about but before he could ask his watched stopped and a blue light came down to the two of them Charlie looks at itchy, it’s time he said. Itchy nodded as they both walked into the light. After the light faded the door to the house opened, a 17 year old girl comes out of the house. “ Scratchy” she walked over and petted the pup “ was that Charlie” she asked him The pup nodded “ yeah” he responded looking up at the sky “ grandpa is with him now” End. …..

Finally. Ive needed a deep dive into this

[@Dootium]

This movie and especially it's sequel always gets a comeback every couple years.

[@AlbertHamik1]

34:15 speaking of rushed work, in the scene where Annabel is first requesting help to retrieve Gabriel's Horn, and the assortment of dogs come up requesting to volunteer, there is a single frame with Charlie on screen (after shoving the small dog into the big dogs mouth) where someone literally stuck masking tape onto the cel pointing into Charlie's mouth with the word "tongue" written on it, denoting that the inker accidentally filled in the spot where Charlie's tongue was supposed to show through his teeth. When I spotted it, I was greatly amused because I watched ADGTH2 a ton as a kid (more than the first one), mostly as something to fill the dead air of me doing other things, and I had never noticed until a few years ago and going back to rewatch it, just how clearly rushed the animation work was. Sometimes you'll notice that the film stock that was used for some shots is out of focus or insanely grainy as if they didn't expose it correctly. And the animation seems to jump around in quality too, you will notice in a couple scenes that background characters will change design since we jump from one overseas studio to another. I really love freezeframing this movie now because I always seem to find something really hilarious, and this video is no exception. I didn't realize there was more preproduction stuff floating around out there, because I remember tripping over that bizarre poster with the pre-final design for the kid, and something else that stuck out to me with that poster is that Charlie and Itchy seem to be closer to their older designs from the first film, which could be related to the production actually having some former Bluth people at the helm for preproduction stuff. Anyways cool video, I am glad to learn there are more people out there taking the time to delve into what is probably the strangest franchise of the 90s in terms of how brief it was, all things considered, and yet how extensive it also was. MGM was really trying to ride the coattails of the big guys and it was shown in the end that they were way too cheap for that market, even by cheap 90s animation standards. I guess there was some decent stuff to come out of MGM's later animation endeavors, but it was never quite on the level of the stuff they got with Bluth, for better or worse.

[@AlbertHamik1]

Watching a little further into the video after this comment and it should be noted I'm discussing the TV animation division that MGM had set up in the 90s, which had also done some direct to video stuff (like the infamous NIMH 2). I think some of the stuff that team did occasionally looked decent, but it was also really apparent that MGM was phoning in those productions and the quality of everything else about those productions was all over the place.

[@SnowheadBlitz]

That SA2 bit at the end has got me FUCKED UP Shunks, what the hell?! (Also please someone draw Charlie and Itchy but as sonic characters im begging now it MUST happen-)

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

Snow Oh I would like to see that I like Sonic the Hedgehog.

[@QuintetMagician]

All Dogs 2 is unironically one of my favorite movies ever. It’s the one I grew up with and I still like basically every song in it. There’s just something about it I love. Edit: YES I OWNED A PIZZA HUT COPY! I hated that scary aardvark movie trailer omfg

[@silveryote1]

20:09 that music...i thought i was the ONLY ONE that noticed the similarities between the ADGTH2 title and Sonic Unleashed. Absolute GENIUS to put that score there!!!

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

Silver Oh I love Sonic Unleashed it's one of my favorite Sonic games and I like The Sonic Series.

[@Icetailthewarriorcat]

I was introduced to this franchise through the sequel promo with Pizza Hut and have always had a soft spot for it since

[@loszhor]

Well done! I loved that series so much growing up. I can't unsee Cow and Chicken in this now series now! o_o; I truly wished the TV series was better though. Also, today is Don Bluth's birthday so Happy Birthday to him!

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

Loszhor Me and my mom like Cow and Chicken.

[@BookBirdFics]

I loved that movie when it came out. Gambling dogs, casino, backstabbing, flamboyant alligators, trips to hell, girl who could talk to animals and the cast of Cannon Ball Run 2 doing the voices. It was a good time to be alive then.

[@Bunni89]

Oh god the song with the dancing steaks. That terrified me as a kid. Weirdly more than Charlie literally dying, or any of the demons lol

[@ryanmcamis7419]

King Gator is a botched Chekhov's Gun. In an early draft that character was mentioned as a vicious and infamous rival gangster to Carface and Charlie. That part of the initial draft never made it into the animation phase. So the literal Chekhov's Gun and subversion of the evil reptile trope got it's proper introduction cut out because of budget and hectic production. One of Don Bluth's biggest struggles was managing and administration overhead. He's creative, but needs someone to keep hold of the reigns. Otherwise you get a Ridley Scott situation (Kingdom of Heaven and Prometheus) where key character motivations and plot threads are cut for pacing or time.

OKAY YES GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A CRUSH ON THE WHIPPET

[@nasty-needle-boi3174]

it's a dog ...

[@TotallyxKatiee]

I’m gen z and this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I saw it on television and became obsessed with it. My mother bought me the movie and the second movie. We found the Christmas special on VHS at a local goodwill. I didn’t understand the references in the first movie, but I still love it as an adult. They don’t make movies like this anymore. Everything has to be politically correct. As a Christian, I liked the religious references and the themes of good vs evil and how someone seemingly bad can become good. A very unique hero’s tale you could argue.

[@sarahni]

1:04:39 "also some nice expressions from Itchy" Dead silence and pitch blackness

[@happyrobot4160]

Did u know Dom DeLuise’s son is the dad from wizards of Waverly Place?

[@1disney100]

This was great! Great job at covering all this stuff! It would be great if they eventually release the features in 4k also!

[@GoldKitsuneBrony]

You know what would have still followed an 'easy to write for' episodic format but have been far more interesting... is if each episode had the bad guys trying to encourage some kid or person to do bad: to cheat or lie or steal.... and charlie and the gang had to try and convince them to do the write thing. Also then you could use the villain characters a lot more often. Could have charlie try and take a short cut every time which blows up in his face and proves the point of the moral.

[@angelofmusic997]

Okay, but I loved these two movies as a kid and I somehow had no idea that there was an animated series until watching this video? Well I guess I know what I'm tracking down and binging later!

[@StrawberryOverlord]

my grandmother had not one, but TWO dachshunds she named after Itchy from these movies. Itchy2 was mean as hell (literal actual zombie dog that didnt bite it till he was almost 20)

[@makomantis4261]

This video feels specifically designed to tailor to me and I'm here for it

[@glowiukzs]

I honestly broke down at the last part, Charlie was my favorite and I started crying so hard🙏😭

[@ashtober]

This movie is a long term hyperfixation of mine, super excited to hunker down and watch this!!!

[@S0urmf420]

Me simply watching this video: Shunks: mentions the pagemaster and Rover dangerfield Me: AHHH PAGEMASTER AND ROVER

[@Estellux]

I remember the All Dogs 2 Pizza Hut DVD. That's how I saw that movie. And I hadn't even seen the first one!

[@TheCentriole]

I had a vhs my grandfather recorded (badly, in slp format) of ADGTH and after obsessing over it around the 5th grade got a vhs of it, right around the time the direct to video sequel ADGTH 2 came out, the drop in animation and writing quality was jarring and I didn't like it, and generally ignored anything else from the franchise, I was aware at some point od the christmas special but didn't even know they made a tv series. I am so intrigued now and you've rejuvinated my childhood fascination with the film I'm going to see if I can marathon through the franchise now. It's been so long since I even watched the original. This is certainly the best video essay ever made about All Dogs go to Heaven, thank you for making it.

[@lostlittlestar]

charlie’s inferno

[@ooppoop4522]

I've always kinda wondered why Carface gets shaved in the villain scene since the cat demon also has fur so it's not like it was to make him more demon-like... its a Sweeney Todd reference, isn't it? Fuck. Kinda love that they snuck that in here ngl

[@ALLPROS_real]

Care Bears movie isn’t based on toys it’s based on greeting cards

[@MollyFox-gs3sl]

I remember watching a dvd copy several times as a kid. I may never bother watching the sequel but I read on Wikipedia that Gordon Freeman dies

[@saraceaser]

To this day the first movie is one of my absolute favorites, and honestly watching it again as an adult makes certain parts hit different. Love it

[@LucidPhoton]

This is pretty sweet actually. Not gonna say All Dogs go to Heaven is my favorite thing ever but it's always been interesting to me and I'm glad you were crazy enough to cover all this. Thank ya! ❤This series is crazy as hell xD

[@kokocrispies]

I think shunks is a comedy channel at this point because all the jokes hit hard

[@Randomlad.0737]

Never expected a Half Life, But the Ai is Self-Aware reference in a All Dogs go to Heaven retrospective, but I wouldn't have it anyway. I wasn't board in the slightest & didn't speed up the video, just very well researched n' edited. Keep it up

[@muppetsretrofan8873]

I adored the All Dogs Go To Heaven movies when I was little, though I never saw the series [might be for the best]. The first one is the only one that holds up for me, albeit it's sadder to watch when you realize that the voice actors for all three main characters are deceased. I feel like the second All Dogs Go To Heaven movie would have worked better if Charlie's descendent[s] and David were the main characters, with Charlie being similar to Annabelle's role in that he tries to make sure our protagonists don't get into trouble [basically carrying on his character development], and instead of Red, Belladonna would be the main antagonist and would be implied to work for the hound from Charlie's nightmare in the first movie, and Carface would still be threatening. Shunks, I hope you'll cover the Will Vinton Claymation franchise one day [starting with his various adaptions of classic stories like The Little Prince, the Dinosaurs special, The Adventures Of Mark Twain Movie, Claymation Christmas Celebration, Meet The Raisins, Raisins Sold Out, The California Raisins Show [which came before Raisins Sold Out but it'd be better to cover Raisins Sold Out before the show], Claymation Comedy Of Horrors, Claymation Easter, The PJs, and Gary And Mike. These specials and series are very creative, but not all of them are good [Claymation Easter is AWFUL and The California Raisins Show is hit or miss. The Meet The Raisins and Raisins Sold Out specials are DELIGHTFUL though]. Sadly, through a series of events, Will Vinton lost his studio to Phil Knight and Travis Knight and the studio became Laika. I highly recommend watching the documentary Claydream, it's good in both learning about Will Vinton and learning about animation history in general.

[@blanemacy8453]

57:35 also, in the first movie, Charlie’s parents are seen in the judgment book.

[@saintbirmacat5518]

As well as his birth date, it September 13, 1937.

[@mr.tomraypaz6085]

I loved this movie when I was a kid. I was almost obsessed with it at one point.

[@nicklundy9965]

All of Bluth's films in the 80s (Anastasia as a bonus) are my favorites. But ADGTH(and even 2) is the one i grew up with and is closest to my heart. Had it on VHS DVD and now Blu-ray.

[@CShep99]

why am i here? its 3 am on a workday and i'm watching a 2-hour video essay on the lore of "All Dogs Go To Heaven".

[@thelazycat7204]

It's nice to see All Dogs get talked about, it is definitely interesting knowing where the people who worked on It's sequels and TV series ended. (primarily with 2 having a connection with Cow & Chicken which does explain why it's animated like it is)

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

The Lazy Cat I also love the All Dogs Go To Heaven movie series and tv series too.

[@peanutkix]

I was obsessed with the original movie as a kid, and so I was 2's greatest hater because I felt they undid Charlie's character growth. Fun little nostalgia trip, I should rewatch the original.

[@CrowCoded]

The way I died when you hit Carface with the Vine Boom and flashed the bold text of "Transphobia." 😂

[@tuffemily1431]

Literally only knew about thr first movie so the fact there's 3 seasons of a show is a real fun surprise

[@Jesse_Field_00]

Never thought I'd see a Fleischer Superman reference in All Dogs Go To Heaven: The Series.

[@mintythedemon1785]

My grandma has a dvd of the first All Dogs go to Heaven movie. I watched this movie a ton when I was a kid. I love the art style and it has some emotional moments. The first movie is very dream-like, and I wish more movies had that vibe.

[@krealyesitisbeta5642]

9:15 Weird AL! Alternative polka

[@megacrashthehedgehog5377]

I'm kind of an apologist for All Dogs 2. It's not my favorite animated sequel, I'm not saying it's Shrek 2, Last Wish, Toy Story 3 levels of quality, and I'll admit, there's a bit of nostalgic bias going on here, but I feel like there was a genuine attempt to make a film that connected with its audience in a similar manner as the first one. It keeps within the themes of the first one for the most part, and I think it balances its tone a lot better than the first one in my opinion. I think the songs are really good and Red is a great villain.

[@erinskai4973]

I WAS HOPING YOU’D COVER ACTIVITY CENTER. I loved All Dogs as a kid and that game was my jam!

[@finchii]

seeing a review of these films that isn't a decade old makes it so much more entertaining. I'd argue the first film is one of my all time favorite animated films, and your commentary on it feels more genuine than others I have heard.
