Teacher's Pet

Teacher's Pet

A high-energy and wildly comic reinterpretation of Pinocchio, Teacher's Pet: The Movie follows Spot (voiced by Nathan Lane), a dog who desperately wants to be a boy, much to the chagrin of his owner Leonard (Shaun Fleming), who just wants to play with his dog. Disguised as his human alter ego Scott, Spot heads down to Florida in the hopes of being transformed by a mad scientist (Kelsey Grammer)--but the transformation proves to be more complicated than Spot expects. Teacher's Pet almost looks like it was drawn in crayon--the unusual and dynamic visual style sets it apart from most Disney cartoons, and the witty dialogue and songs--voiced with zip and aplomb--make the movie hugely entertaining for kids and parents. Also featuring the voices of Jerry Stiller, Paul Reubens, Megan Mullaly, David Ogden Stiers, and Wallace Shawn. --Bret Fetzer

Spot/Scott:
What is it with this family and singing? I'm starting to feel a little VonTrapped.

Mr. Jolly:
AAAAAIE. It's a monster. It's hideous.

Pretty Boy:
It's just your reflection.

Mr. Jolly:
Oh... AAAAAIE.

Spot/Scott:
Time sure flies when you're changing species.

Ivan Krank:
It's alive. IT'S ALIVE. That's a good start.

Spot/Scott:
I wanna be a boy.

Pretty Boy:
Well, I wanna be a rooster in a hen house, but I just don't see it happening. Isn't that right, Mr. Jolly?

Mr. Jolly:
It's too early in the morning for hypothetical discussion, but since you brought it up... you? A rooster?

Pretty Boy:
Florida, Schmorida! It's just Jersey with palm trees!

Mr. Jolly:
Well, I suppose most people don't arrive by garbage truck.

Ivan Krank:
Oh, haven't you heard, my good man? Nature is dead! Science is king!

Mr. Jolly:
Oh, that is just wrong on so many levels.

Yawn. Mush-a.

Spot/Scott:
I had to come. I had to be with you. And I needed a ride to Florida for my own self-serving reasons, but why spoil a beautiful moment.

Pretty Boy:
I ain't no fairy.

Mr. Jolly:
Outside? But I'm an indoor cat. I'm afraid of the outside. (whimpers)

Spot/Scott:
Thank you, Mrs. Helperman. This is just the thing to go with my Science medal, my Math medal, and my Sports medal. Not to mention my medal for self-esteem.

Spot/Scott:
Hey I'll do the clichéd Irish dialogue around here.
