This thread reminded me of Beethoven, I know I loved it as a kid. It used to play on the TV around Easter back then, but I remember literally nothing.
So I just rewatched it. It's absolute shit lol. Bottom of the barrel trash movie, no redeeming qualities, just absolute garbage. And I say that as a "dog person" who likes the furry slob that lies next to me on the couch rn
Also no, I deeply doubt this was "the standard" back then either, they live in a picturesque fucking suburb with a huge house, it's obviously the upper end of middle class and not the "standard" life that "they took from you"
I definitely saw this movie once or twice as a kid, but I remember less about it than I do Clifford, the 1994 movie also starring Charles Grodin (which despite what you might think, didn't involve a large dog at all).
The only thing I remember about the Beethoven movies is that in one of them,
CW: fucked up shit, cruelty to animals, carnism
a roadside hot dog stand is slaughtering dogs to make the sausages. There was a scene of dogs in cages acting like human prisoners, doing tropes like knocking a tin cup against the bars. WTF, who thought that was appropriate for a kids' movie?!
