All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series

All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series is an animated comedy television series which aired from 1996 to 1998 in syndication and on the Freeform (TV channel) from 1998 to 1999, with 40 half-hour episodes produced in total. The series was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation, and was distributed by Claster Television (in the years 1996 and 1997) and MGM Worldwide Television Distribution in 1998; finally, its animation was by the studios Wang Film Productions and Thai Wang Film Production Co., Ltd.. Don Bluth’s 1989 animated feature All Dogs Go to Heaven featured a selfish German Shepherd named Charlie who died, went to heaven, escaped back to Earth for vengeance on his murderer Carface and then found redemption with the help of a young orphaned girl named Anne-Marie. The film spawned a sequel, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 and this animated series takes place after these events. Most of the voice actors from the feature films reprised their roles in the series, including Dom DeLuise, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Nelson Reilly, Bebe Neuwirth, Sheena Easton, and Adam Wylie. Steven Weber provided the speaking and singing voices of Charlie B. Barkin, who was voiced in the films by Burt Reynolds and Charlie Sheen (and singing voice provided in the second film by Jesse Corti). A Christmas special An All Dogs Christmas Carol serves as the finale.
