All Dogs Go to Heaven

All Dogs Go to Heaven

After retrieving Gabriel's Horn in the 1996 movie, All Dogs Go To Heaven 2, the irrepressible German shepherd Charlie Barkin and his loyal dachsund sidekick, Itchy Itchiford, are not interested in returning to heaven; rather, they continue their canine adventures on Earth in MGM Animation's television series of the same name, which aired from 1996-1999. Both the movie sequel and television series are loosely based on Don Bluth's 1989 film, All Dogs Go To Heaven, though Bluth was not involved in these spinoff projects and the only returnee from the original film is Dom DeLuise (again voicing the part of Itchy). Set in present day San Francisco, the television series includes many of the characters from the film sequel, though Charlie and Sasha are now mostly friends, Charlie and Itchy live as bachelors, and Carface plays a lesser role. "Friends to the Rescue" is a DVD compilation of four 22-minute episodes from the show's first season, following the escapades of Charlie and Itchy as newly inducted guardian angels, assigned various "missions" by the watchful whippet archangel, Anabelle. Many of the voiceovers will be familiar including Sheena Easton (Sasha), Bebe Neuwirth (Annabelle), and Ernest Borgnine (Carface). The newcomer to the cast is Steven Weber who lends his voice as Charlie in a lineup of palatable (if not mildly bland) storylines offering tidy lessons in friendship and kindness. The best of the bunch is the humorous "Cyrano de Barkinac" when Itchy falls for a lovely pooch name Bess and enlists the help of "Charlie's Charm School" to win her favor. While Bluth's original film explored themes of crime, death, betrayal, and heaven in an artistically quirky musical format, these tales are straightforward Saturday morning fare reminiscent of Disney's Aristocats. --Lynn Gibson

But not all dogs stay there!

Charlie:
Carface! [laughs] Hey, Carface! Ya decent?

Carface:
[opens the door] Charlie! Oh, is it really you?!

Charlie:
Is it really me? Haha! Is it really you? Hey, you put on a little weight. I told ya to stay off those sweets. [lies down on a chair and turns on some jazz music] This place is... This place is lookin' okay. A little ghost, but okay. Y'know, partner, I'm proud of you. But the customers, they ain't laughin'.

Carface:
[chuckles as he turns down the volume] Gamblers are never happy, Charlie. You know that.

Charlie:
Yeah, but I've been thinkin'. [turns up the volume] You know what this place needs? I mean, besides new curtains and chandeliers. It needs some class, a little culture, choreography, and some influence of the theater. Dancing girls. Whattaya say? Y'know what else...?

Carface:
[turns down the volume] Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Times has changed. I've changed, you've changed.

Charlie:
[turns up the volume] Ha, what are ya talkin' about? I haven't changed.

Carface:
[turns down the volume] Charlie... Charlie, you've done time, and that's not good for business.

Charlie:
[turns up the volume] What are you sayin'?

Carface:
You are a dog with a record. [turns down the volume]

Charlie:
[turns up the volume] I was framed!

Carface:
I know that. [feigning tears] You're like a brother to me. That's why... Why...

Charlie:
Why what?

Carface:
[turns down the volume] We need to split up the partnership!

Charlie:
[turns up the volume] What?! Are you outta your mind?!

Carface:
They're gonna be lookin' for ya, Charlie. And what's the first place they're gonna look, huh?! Here! HERE!!! [removes the volume dial on the radio] I don't like it, Charlie, but it's for our own good.
