Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Irishchatter I absolutely was saddened after watching this movie. I know it's fictional but seriously, this is the reality of animal abuse for Christ sakes! I nearly cried at the end where the two dogs sadly drowned when trying to get away from the abusers that should've been drowned. Seriously, I think this movie does make you sad and angry at the same time. It does go to show that some humans don't deserve to be caring of animals. I would wonder if labs really look after the animals to experiment on. As a dog owner myself, I'm glad that he is well looked after and has owners loving him no matter what. Dogs like Snitter and Rowf didn't have anyone to feed them properly or love them back. It breaks your heart but again, this is reality. Dogs among any animals get abused everyday and I mean, it sickens me to think that they are being treated like this. Such a sad world we live in and it's the truth!I wouldn't suggest to show this to animal lovers or definitely children. It's a very sad film I have to say. I think it should've got an Oscar since it showed the message of looking after animals that are in desperate need!

sonicfan5715 The Plague Dogs... it's kind of hard to describe why this film is so good, because of all the things it manages to execute to near perfection.The animation, for it's time, is amazing, especially seeing that Martin Rosen's approach to this and "Watership Down" (another great) was to make the world and the animal characters in it seemingly realistic to a key (to an awkward point, when they draw out the dogs "package"). Nonetheless, the settings are dreary and threatening for our characters Rowf and Snitter (voiced by John Hurt, who also voiced Fifer in Watership Down) to traverse, and both the animals and even the humans are very well done.Such a provocative story as well, one that makes this more of an adults film rather than a children's (given a PG-13 rating for a few bloody reasons). The relationship between Rowf and Snitter is done brilliantly, and though I've never read the actual book, the way these two characters work with one another and each others self-conflicting emotions (Rowf's cynical yet determined will to survive, Snitter's intellect but often driven mad by his past misdeeds and being "cursed") to survive the harsh brutal world they escaped to is phenomenal. Even the characters they come to interact with (the sheep herders two collies, and "Tod" the fox) play their parts in helping these two find their way to freedom, though they may not actually be helping. Tod in particular is a fittingly cunning fox, and while he is helping these dogs for his own gain, he comes to a point in his life that he puts aside his own selfish thieving gain and sacrifices himself for the two. In the end, after enduring long and treacherous times in the wilds of Scotland, pursued by hunters for slaughtering sheep, and believed to be ridden with a "plague" from the cruel lab they escaped from, they come to the end of their journey. The film ends on a very sad (or if you choose) uplifting note, depending on how you interpret the ending of their story, whether or not they survived in the end. It may leave you with a mixed feeling, but the overall journey with Rowf and Snitter and everything in between makes this one of the greats in animation.Reasons this film is mainly geared more for adults isn't just for the enthralling story and the end result, it especially touches base with the issue of animal cruelty (most expressed in the beginning of the film, where Rowf is forced day by day to undergo endless swimming sessions of "endurance", drowning in the end and being revived by the humans to be put through the torture once more). Though I can't put my finger on what they did to Snitter, but it severely messed with his personal mind, causing his terrible imagery of his past, which in my mind delves even deeper on what terrible things we've done to animals simply for the sake of "what will happen." Say what you will about the issue, but I don't uphold animal cruelty on any level, but I wouldn't put a human first in line to be tested by a drug or treatment before it's proved foolproof. Wherever you stand on the issue, this film still manages to prove its point well, and makes you think about the aspects of animal experimentation/cruelty in labs.To top it off with dark story elements, such as the dogs trying to revert to the "wolf" ways to kill to survive, and bloody details of injuries, attacks on both animals and humans (one in particular that Snitter did not mean the cause may very well scar you for life), "The Plague Dogs" never ceases to amaze in my eyes.This film is definitely one to see at least once in your life, and many times thereafter if you truly grasp what the film attempts to evoke to its audience. Definitely in my top 10 favorite films (not just animated) of all time (alongside "The Iron Giant" of course).9/10 Jeffrey V/sonicfan5715

luminous-luciano Director Martin Rosen's second animated film, based upon the novel by Richard Adams, proves that he is a master of the genre. Like his preceding effort, *The Plague Dogs* belongs to that category of animation that is definitively the diametrical opposite of what studios such as Disney or Pixar dish out every time. For, just like *Watership Down* before it, *The Plague Dogs* is all about a grimy and sad reality - and everything that comes with that. It comes a step further than that, even. The two title characters, Rowf and Snitter, couldn't be further from the Lady, the Tramp and other feel-good cartoony loons of their ilk... For this is a tale that could very well have happened, up to a certain degree, unlike those recounted in 1001 other pieces of animations intended for children and a family audience - something that The Plague Dogs is definitely not, as you've already understood.The story, in brief: these two dogs escape from a laboratory where they were destined to be guinea pigs - or already were. Their escape is not the solution to all aspects of their plight, however, as the world outside is most unwelcoming and of course -one would expect it but not two innocent dogs- they will soon be tracked down for recapture or elimination. Along the way they befriend a fox and all three soon meet their destiny - but not as we would expect it.This is a film unlike any other, almost - for even *Watership Down* will appear to be an upbeat thingie in comparison (and it sure wasn't Bugs Bunny either!) The fact is that Rosen carries through with the original story and does not try to deter from it, nor to embellish things or, Heaven Forbid, tack on a happy ending à-la-Disney. The film suffered immensely from this in terms of marketability, of course - being neither a children's film nor something that appealed to a mature audience, it is indeed stuck in some limbo in-between these two poles. This film does have a happy ending though - the only one it could have had and, to me, it is the most beautiful and poetic thing ever on film. Not to appreciate it would either imply that your heart is made of stone or that you have no perception beyond the material state of things - and, in either case, it would make you a sadder story than *The Plague Dogs* were themselves. Many parents introduce their children to the ''real world'' via intelligent pieces of fiction especially crafted for them: tales such as *Charlotte's Web* and *Watership Down* - I suggest to add *The Plague Dogs* to the list too; but only when they are mature enough to view it, and learn from its lessons. And only when you are ready and willing to learn along, too.

velcrocandy This movie had been recommended to me because I had watched "Watership Down" years ago, and I found it very interesting and unlike any other animated movie. I was told that "The Plague Dogs" was similar in make, so I thought I would give it a try. This gave me the same eerie feel, but it kept me on my toes, almost like a suspense film. I have never seen a film so accurately display dog's behaviors AND personify them... Instead of just talking dogs, I felt as if I was just given a translation of what they would have really been saying if they COULD talk. This made the movie feel so real to me, I connected with the characters and this movie was simply a pleasure to look at. The realistic environments, the glistening coats of the dogs, even the water trickling down the stream was a relief from most modern animation.I am not one to cry when I watch movies. This movie made me sob and sob, in the beginning I cried, and in the end I cried. Like I said in my summary: it's definitely tough for dog lovers to watch!!! I would highly recommend this movie, however it is not for kids 16 and under. If you think you'd like to watch it with your family, the parental guidance on this site is incredibly helpful for this, and for any movie on here. 10/10 in my opinion!! What a great movie!!
