1989·Family·40m
7.1
This parody of film noir and gangster flicks takes us through the dangerous town of Dog City, teeming with colorful Muppet Dog characters. Rowlf the dog is your guide through the underside of canine life during the 1930s in Dog City. Our hero, Ace, enters the world of bulldog gangsters and terrier molls when he inherits a saloon from his late Uncle Harry. Unwilling to pay protection money, Ace finds himself the target of Bugsy, a bulldog bully who owns most of Dog City. Life can be ruff!

Dog City
pretty amazing movie, great music and world building

I absolutely love how spot on Jim Henson's dogfather impression is.

the jokes per minute is insane and it just feels like a collection of skits sequenced together so well

Dog City: The Movie will be a movie that will fur-ever stick with me for how enjoyable it is. It’s impawsible to deny how charming this film is. I say film, but really this is a short. The best part of the film is its paw-ce. It’s forty minutes that is doggone in a blink of an eye. It’s pawposterous how many dog puns are in this film and how much it relies on them. If you don’t like dog puns, I’d suggest you’d whoof it on out of here and give this film a pawss. If you are looking for a clever spoof on the noir genre, I’d say look for a dif-fur-ent film. It takes all the classic tropes and uses them without any sort of comment on this paws-itively delightful genre. Fur-tunately, if you are like me and like both dog puns and the noir genre, you’ll paw-brolly have a blast with this pawsome film. I give Dog City: The Movie four paws out of five.
