SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

For those of y'all who didn't get to see/read my previous review on this, I decided to delete it to type up a new one and change my rating for it. I was inspired to have second thoughts after reading a review of this on a blog, I'll elaborate more on that in a moment. As one of Walt Disney Television Animation's earliest productions, it was to be the stepping stone to a T.V. series that never came to be. When this first aired, it was a few days after I was born. I wouldn't see any of it until I visited someone's house and caught it there in the mid '90s. I saw only part of it (which was when Jamie and Claire have to hide the Fluppy Dogs in the basement from Jamie's mom), but it looked interesting. Almost five years ago (late May 2011), after reading and learning more about it on Wikipedia, I watched the whole special on Youtube. I'm glad I was able to do both. Though I am so and originally gave this ten stars, I now have second thoughts about that. I had a change of mind and decided to reduce it to six stars instead because, again, I was influenced by a piece a read on it by a blogger. He pointed out that it's not without its flaws, notably the writing. Nobody get me wrong. I still enjoy it despite that, but it's not totally perfect or even the best. I don't detest it, I still find it to be passable, but I don't consider it my most favorite either. I can't really hate this enough to give this the lowest rating possible here, as there have been worse and it's not as bad as those other, worse things. So it's not like it's very bad and I think I'd still buy it anyway if it were available officially on DVD. If there's any one good thing I can say is that at least the animation quality is up to Disney's standards as they usually have been. The characters are alright, although better could've been done with the Fluppy Dogs. It'd been mentioned this never went further than the pilot stage due to low ratings and shortage of viewer support. The blogger believes this happened, because of its imperfections, such as the writing. The points that he made, maybe he did have them there. I like how Disney attempted to adapt the toy line and other merchandise, and it was a nice try, but could've been better. I wish it were, I would've loved to see this as a series. It left me wanting more. Had it been expanded upon, all it would've needed was some fine-tuning. Regardless of the problems with it, I, too, would recommend this. Since at least it's not like the mindless drivel that's too common on kids' T.V. nowadays. This is a good watch if y'all don't happen to find anything better.

Oh those Fluppy Dogs... Whom could ever not like or remember this movie? I have gone through so many years of my life asking friends and others if they have ever seen or heard of this magical film. Rocking 80's fashioned dogs that can sniff out invisible, crystal accessed doors, how amazing!! .... No one ever could relate to the childhood wonder that i felt watching this flick. My parents old Lazy Susan, wood paneled TV had me glued when this Movie came on. No David Copperfield impressions my brother had to offer could pull my little Quarter Roy Oshkosh B'Gosh butt away from this movie!! I will, mark my words, show this to my children in hopes they too will pass on the legacy of The Fluppy Dogs. It took me years to track down a copy of this flick and i finally found it. It is offered in parts on YouTube! And there are lots of free programs that will download YouTube clips!. If anyone needs more help on obtaining there very own copy just let me know!! And may The Fluppy Dogs Live on!

I would really like a copy of this for my future children... I used to watch this when I was young , but its probably been 15 years...all I can remember is colorful scenes of crystals and out of this world flowers... Uniquely Magical it is I cannot believe that it isn't recognized for that. I wish Disney would release it on DVD I wish there was somewhere to at least watch it again. This is the only child's movie that has really stuck with me even if it was only that one scene, I remember watching it and knowing that I would never forget it. I feel bad for the others also that seem to be in the same situation. If anyone knows of a place to obtain a copy or to view it if they could please share it with the rest of us I think everyone would really appreciate it, it would be even better if Disney re-released this to DVD so the legacy wouldn't disappear with the 80's generation.

I love this movie. I used to watch it religiously. The story and characters are unique and lovable. Kids can really relate to the main two characters, and who doesn't love cute cuddly talking "Fluppy" dogs?My father managed to record it on VHS when I was 3 so I could watch it whenever I wanted.I really think Disney should have released a 20 year anniversary DVD of this movie. Its too bad, because this will probably fall through the cracks even though it is one of the best Disney moves of all time.I need to dig out my VHS and transfer it to a DVD so one day my children will be able to enjoy it as much as I did.
