Fluppy Dogs (1986)

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.

I cannot believe after years of searching for this film I have finally found some information about it!! I remember my mum taped this film for me when I was about 3 or 4 and I loved it (although I can't remember what happened now and didn't help the fact that I've been calling it the Fluffies all this time as that's how I pronounced Fluppies apparently!) and it unfortunately got taped over :( i cannot find a copy anywhere and I am gutted! If anyone does find a copy please share!! I remember watching it when I was about 3 or 4 and 23 odd years later I would still happily sit down and watch it! Awesome film Disney needs to re release!!

This one of those movies that brings you good memories of your childhood and it is a shame that you do not have the opportunity to buy it and keep it in your movie collection. The Fluppy Dogs is that movie that will keep a child imagination going on for ever. Walt Disney Corp should have a place where to buy these old movies. Amazon could also help here. This action could help other people find what they are looking for. Fluppy dog's movies are great. I love the Fluppy Dogs Movies. My favorite character was Tippy. I also like Claire. The hippopotamus part it was very funny. I love this movie.I really love it.

I absolutely love this movie!!! My mum taped it off the TV for me when I was little, and my sister and I were obsessed with it! I have long since lost the tape, and I am devastated that I can't find it anywhere! Disney really need to release this movie on DVD - I can't believe they never released it before!!! It is truly a classic, and a movie I will never forget for as long as I live. If anyone can tell me where I can get my hands on a copy of this, I will be eternally grateful. I found the intro to the movie on You Tube, but can't find anything more than that. I know that I am not the only person out there who is in this situation - I'm sure that there are many more like me who would love to watch the Fluppies again!
