Pound Puppies And The Legend Of Big Paw (1988)

This trailer may be one of the most exploitative uses of children in motion picture history. Once seen, never forgotten...

[@disneydreamer8147]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I BOUGHT IT ON DVD A WHILE BACK! BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES.... THE SONGS WERE VERY CATCHY N I REMEMBER RECORDING SOME OF THE SONGS ON OUR OLD BIG SCREEN TV WITH MY TALK GIRL... LOL 😊

[@jimmijames666]

I remember this, we rented it all the time, I think my dad was obsessed. good times

[@cartoongameshowman]

I first saw this movie in 1994 on Disney Channel's Toonin Tuesady. Back when Disney Channel was a premium channel.

[@ChrisNeufeldMusic]

Unless I’m mistaken, this was Carolco’s only animated flick. And they were known for other action movies such as the Rambo and Terminator 2!

"You're kidding me, that's how they got it?" That boy doesn't sound too impressed...

[@supermariof0521]

Neither did audiences, which would explain why this movie bombed harder then the Wii U.

[@CartmansFat98]

Thank God I was born 10 years after this came out

[@BCoriginal1]

Yeah I can imagine what the kids said after filming this commercial. "Okay I said my lines. Can I have my 20 bucks now?"

[@mauromesa78]

its too bad this classic commercial is not on the dvd as a bonus feature

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

I rented this all the time as a kid but even then I always wondered why they changed the character designs.

[@WildBillKMan]

0:54 I remember the episode The Fairy Dogmother! I noticed from the very start that god spelled backwards is dog.

Wow. I just remembered my innocence as a child. Didn't even realize I forgot it.😕

Not even Mark Elliot can save this mess of a movie.

[@supermariof0521]

@@Launchpad05 Nor could he save the "Super Mario Bros." movie when he narrated the "Behind The Scenes" segment for that movie.

[@supermariof0521]

This movie was so rushed they couldn't even be bothered to market it correctly.

Wow, I can't believe this movie flopped.

[@RodStewartfan1]

I use to have this on VHS we recorded it off of Showtime. I think my brother erased it cause I can't find it anywhere in my house! I MISS THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!

[@EddietheHead32]

I saw this on Showtime over 20 years ago, good movie. Better than the t.v. series.

[@jstrewth]

This is the kind of movie for people who thought that Scrappy was the best thing about the Scooby-Doo franchise.

[@Bizarronumber4]

I love the kids reactions to certain scenes. I've never seen this movie,but I think Disney's OLIVER & COMPANY was better.

[@monkeyass116]

Why do I get the feeling that the boys in this trailer were saying off camera "Can I please have my $200 so I can go see 'Transformers the Movie".

[@Johnlindsey289]

Saw this at the movies when i was a kid and htought it was ok, but who thinks Oliver and Company was the better 1988 dogs and cats animated movie? at least it had more original songs that were better, better animation, more heart and better villain

[@PJVids83]

Why would you bother comparing Pound Puppies to Oliver & Company? It's pretty obvious Pound Puppies was made to capitalize on the success of the Saturday Morning cartoon show for a quick buck. Oliver & Company was Disney putting in some actual effort to deliver the story of Oliver Twist in a contemporary setting. Disney's project required some level of artistry. Pound Puppies was slapped together and thrown on the big screen between seasons.

[@Batben01]

This movie makes the care bears and my little pony look like G.I. Joe and Transformers.

[@Launchpad05]

Even 'Friendship Is Magic' is more bad ass that this movie.

[@StevenDolce]

IMDB Rating: 4.9

[@TheLANC95]

I never thought I'd say this, but bring back the rapping dog from the animated titanic movie. -NC

[@Megared82]

Oh,God! I actually auditioned for this commercial but I had gum in my mouth and when it feel out I said "shit" and I guess the auditioners thought that wasn't really appropriate for the commercial. I was sad but I was only 4 so oh well.

I can so hear Jenny’s voice in Tammy. After all, they are the same voice actors

[@somethinsuavetheater]

Most exploitative use of children? Have you never seen a Disney home video trailer?

[@supermariof0521]

I don't remember Walt Disney Home Video ever using live action kids in their VHS trailers.

[@PJVids83]

Alright, it might not have been in the VHS trailers you saw growing up, but there were plenty of commercials "exploiting children" to sell their movie. I remember those TV spots for kids' movies during the late '80's where they would interview the kids in the lobby of the theater after the movie to get their excited opinions. Same sort of idea, very common.

[@supermariof0521]

Unless it was for one of those sing along songs VHS releases.

[@HundleysOnABirdDiet]

Ah, yes... in PAL speed.

[@supermariof0521]

Pal Speed is best speed.

[@geo58impala]

I don't get it.

[@TaraGothGirl]

0:30 Never a good idea to promote your movie by having an 8-year-old point out how stupid it is.

[@puterboy2]

This movie turns 30 this year you know.

[@BrighterThenTheMoon]

No wonder Carolco went bankrupt

[@Launchpad05]

Actually, 'Cutthroat Island' was what killed that studio.

I think I´ve been singing on "big paw song" once every month since I was a kid - I´m 28 now.... on the swedish version though.... Impossible to find

I used to love this movie as a kid, then as I got older I realized just how God awful it was animation and writing wise. It still holds a special place in my heart, but it pretty awful looking at it as an adult.

Literally one of the worst movie trailers I've ever seen.

[@MrThischarmingman2]

Why should he be?

[@martinbarnes9]

Don't watch this movie, you may never like it. Variety called it uninvolving and endlessly derivative. Stuart Fisher gave the film 1 star in The Animated Movie Guide by Jerry Beck.

[@678BUMPERLOVER]

sucky storyline ? you call a movie where the villian trys to take the main thing that gives them the power to talk to humans sucky ? i don't think so

Its Time for Me to watch this movies! **** All ya movie bashin ****heads ya dont know a Great family movie Even when it slaps you in the damn Face! And the Show is fantastic and way better then the New One. The only reason i watched the New One was cause of Erick McCormick and Lucky otherwise it stripped and ripped away from what the Original Show did. Plus there was No Original character cameos or comebacks! I mean come on if ya make the dang Show at least attempt to make it decent by bringing back the ones Who started it! #OriginalShowIsWayBetter #NewOneSucks #ThisMovieRocks

[@GeneralOlde]

God, I remember this piece of fucking shit. I saw this when I was a kid, and I hated it then (I still hate it). Terrible animation, bad voice-acting, disjointed storyline, and derivative musical numbers make this one of the absolute worst animated movies of all time. There's a reason this movie is listed on TV Tropes' So Bad It's Horrible category for Western Animation. The fact that they actually used children to promote this garbage makes it even more offensive.
