    Charlie, who owes an obvious debt to Chuck Jones' Wile E. Coyote, comes equipped with one of the most expressive faces in cartoon history: Bluth keeps his features-ears, snout, mouth, eyes-in constant flux, a beautiful blend of line and volume that represents the pinnacle of the animator's art.

    All Dogs Go to Heaven" has the right spirit, and its warmth will offset what for small kids might be some scary moments. But it does seem skimpy and warmed over. [17 Nov 1989]
  3. The animation is of variable quality; the story is a garbled pastiche of "Oliver Twist" and "Little Miss Marker;" the songs, including four by Charles ("Annie") Strouse, are eminently unhummable. [17 Nov 1989]

    It was because of the reviews of this phenomenal film that I officially stopped trusting critics. Sure, you can find reasons that it would probably offend parents because it deals with issues such as gambling, drinking, and the mafia, but All Dogs Go To Heaven has a lot of heart to it. There is no reason to miss this astonishing animated film because it's a cult classic and it teaches good moral values (Unlike today's animated garbage). A definite must-see for all ages. Expand

  3. As a fan of Don Bluth's animations, I really enjoyed this film. Sure, this animated feature has some dark and really odd moments throughout, but that's what makes All Dogs Go To Heaven unique and different than other animated films. All Dogs Go To Heaven teaches younger audiences some really good morals in a subtle matter such as stealing and gambling is wrong. I do admit the story is not perfect with some unnecessary sequences (i.e. the singing big lipped alligator moment) that shouldn't be added to the movie, but you can tell that All Dogs Go To Heaven has heart, which can literally bring emotions in your eyes, especially near the ending of the film. All Dogs Go To Heaven is an entertaining and heartwarming film that can be enjoyed for the whole family. It is a must recommend for fans of Don Bluth's animations or parents who need to find films for their kids. Expand
