@Bride of Bronze Eye, or Science Princess sad thing is that it didn’t even have to do with fame. Just a situation that could happen to any child. *sigh*
@@vixiestarfire in other words, it feels quite debatable that Charlie was tricking Anne with her sneezes, because honestly i understood that as an authentic cough because of flowers allergies as a comedic gag or something, makes sense regardless because i still have that opinion?
This would be the last time the audience would hear the innocent voice of Judith Barsi. Before this movie premiered, she and her mother were shot and killed by her jealous father. That's what makes the goodbye between her and Charlie so heartbreaking because the last word she said were "I love you".
That's so sad. It'll be 10 years until I was born when this movie premiered, but I heared her voice for the first time in The Land Before Time. I knew something happened to the voice actor of Ducky, but I never knew what exactly happened.
A horrendous kind of evil! Imagine killing your own child just because you're jealous of them. The father must've been the most useless scum of the Earth and couldn't stand his own daughter having success 😡
@@lulystalgianature2968 I don't know for sure how they found out he was jealous or what clues was found that lead to that conclusion, but apparently he ended himself right after he committed murder.
@@meganlodon Yeah that's true. The most likely main reason was that his wife was threatening to divorce him, and well, you know the rest. But jealousy for his daughter is another likely reason.
The saddest fact about this movie is that the little girl who voiced Ann-Marie (Judith Barsi) was murdered by her father not long after doing this movie. Bluth stated that he intended to feature Judith extensively in his future productions. So the credits song "Love Survives" was dedicated in her memory.
Definitely one of the best Don Bluth films. And believe it or not, this movie was originally going to be a lot darker. You can tell there was supposed to be more between where the car started moving, and when it flew off the ramp. Also, Charlie's dream where he's in Hell was going to be a lot more intense, and Carface was originally going to use a machine gun instead of a ray gun. You can even see where they didn't change the lipsync.
Not to mention the 2nd act of this movie was very off. Because, one moment you have Charlie saying that he's going to get revenge on Carface for trying to kill him, and the next you have him building a casino WITH HIS NAME OVER IT. I mean, what happen to trying to keep a low profile, especially since before this, it's established that Carface still thinks Charlie's dead? If anything, building a casino is going to tip off that he's still alive and Carface will figure out that Charlie has Anne-Marie. I think this was done however because the 2nd half of the movie has more focus on Anne-Marie, and someone didn't know how to get from Point A to Point B, therefore they wanted to have their cake and eat it. But it still leaves with the plot becoming muddled.
Judith barsi would be 45 years old if she was still alive right now. All of the songs are very classic and very well written. Rest in peace Judith barsi your legacy will always be remembered forever, and never, ever be forgotten. And Anne Marie is very lucky to have both Charlie and Itchy as her best friends.
@@pink99644 I’m wondering if Judith would’ve continued acting today. (Especially since I heard that she wanted to continue voice acting into adulthood since she loved working with Don Bluth)
I'm 35 now, well, almost. This was the best movie when I was a kid, I watched this anywhere from like 50-60 times when I was a kid. And I've watched it 5 times since the Christchurch earthquake
Interesting fact about this film, several scenes have been notably cut down due to scenes being too scary for kids, similar to The Land Before Time. The entire Hell sequence has been unveiled from someone recording the footage and posting it for the world to see some time ago (and probably can still be viewed). The huge devilish creature had a line saying “now you’re mine” and laughs evilly. So yeah, now you know how dark these Don Bluth films can be.
Also, the scene where Killer says he has a gun was original going to be a Thompson Submachine gun (Tommy gun), but they re-edited the shooting sounds with "ray gun" sounds. Also, I think those apple's at 25:46 was probably going to be Charlie's blood, especially paying attention to the way the scene looks....
So glad you liked this one! It doesn’t get the attention it deserves and is my personal favorite Don Bluth movie. Some incredibly sad themes in it…amazing visuals…things that get overlooked but that are downright deep for a cartoon. Also R.I.P. Judith Barsi…💔
Despite all the pitfalls that this film has gone through, All Dogs Go To Heaven remains one of my childhood faves from the Don Bluth film library. Glad you’ve covered this film Nick, and thanks.😌🙂
This is one of my favourite movies. The song Anne Marie sings, Soon You'll Come Home, holds a different meaning to me than before as this movie was one of mine and my mums favourites and since she passed, it hits different
Judith actually didn’t sing that song. During her singing audition she broke down in hysterics.. probably because the song talked about going home.. something that held such terror for her. Due to that exact breakdown. Her agent told her mom to take her to a child psychologist.. who immediately identified Judith as a severely abused child.
There was once a time when Don Bluth became better than Disney. But when this movie was made, Disney also made The Little Mermaid, and they were back to being to kings of animated movies, going on to make Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King.
We should thank Don Bluth for Disney's success in the 90s. If they hadn't felt so intimidated by him back then, we likely wouldn't have gotten all those epic movies that make the Disney Renaissance.
You forget; there was a movie in-between "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast." Y'know, that sequel movie about little mice going to Australia to save a kidnaped little boy. Oh, what was it called? Oh yeah, "Rescuers Down Under!" 😉 In all seriousness, I'll forgive you for forgetting that one. It is often overlooked.(unfortunately)
Yes don bluth was on top of disney in the 80s then Disney topped the 90s for the most part bluth did have 1 last hit in 97 ANASTASIA but little after that he lost his buisness cause he couldnt really compete anymore I persoannly live all these movies as a whole
I used to watch this so much as a kid. As a HUGE dog-lover, it breaks my heart and simultaneously gives me inspiration because of the loyalty and sacrifice.
This was one of my favorite movies as a little kid. In fact this movie is one of the seven-eight reasons I am a dog person to this day. I really hope pets do go somewhere nice after they die.
Technically incorrect Burt Reynolds(Charlie) was never married to melba Moore who voiced (whippet angel). He was married to Loni Anderson(Flo) who was the female dog in the pizza/whats mine is yours song scene. I think you made an error in the characters friend lol
Ironically the big lipped alligator scene isn't actually technically "a big lipped alligator scene" as defined by Nostalgia Chick/Lindsay Ellis because the alligator does come back later in response to hearing Charlie so it actually did have some relevancy to the plot.
Yeah we sadly lost alot from this movie I feel lucky I had am opportunity to meet Burt reynolds once in 2015 and gad him sign an all dogs go to heaven poster its one of my prize possessions in my collection
This was my absolute favorite movie as a kid. My parents even jokingly called me “Ann-Marie” and I had such a big imagination that my mom was called in to my preschool for questioning because I told the staff that I was an orphan that had been taken in off the street!
I love this movie so much! the ending always makes me cry and even watching through this reaction, I was still bawling like a baby. Charlie is such a well-developed character and is the perfect example of character development for me. his heel turn was so well-deserved and so satisfying for me. I knew you'd love this movie and I'm so glad that you enjoyed it Nick; made for such an awesome reaction! ❤
I forgot what this movie was like, last time I watched it was like 20 years ago when I was a little kid… Thanks for reminding me about it, Nick, it’s very nostalgic)))
this movie means so much to me, it was my favourite as a kid- I even named my dog after charlie and my other dog after a dog from the sequel. the ending has always wrecked me and I can only imagine how much the end speech will mess me up when my charlie passes. the sequel is pretty good, quite a different story from this one but still fun- I preferred it over the first when I was younger but now I think the heart of the first definitely outshines it. would recommend you watching it, the songs are especially fun.
I’m sure many of you have already heard the really sad story of Judith Barsi. The voice of Anne-Marie who, along with her Mother, Maria Barsi, was tragically and sadly murdered by her own Father, Jószef Barsi in July 1988, after Judith and Maria Barsi suffered years of severe physical, mental and emotional abuse by her Father at home. Judith was also the voice of Ducky in The original Land Before Time movie. Judith was only 10 years old when she was murdered
Worst part is she never got to see Land Before Time or All Dogs Go To Heaven before she passed. What an innocent soul. I cry every time I think about it.
There's actually a trope named after part of this movie called a 'Big Lipped Alligator Moment' which refers to any part of a movie/show that comes out of nowhere, isn't really in keeping with the rest of the story and isn't mentioned again.
As said in the song Hero by Skillet " A hero's not afraid to give his life " and Charlie showed that when he chose to save Anne Marie even though he knew he would die if he didn't reach his watch in time. As for me I will not hesitate to put my life at risk if it means protecting an innocent child from the evil lurking all over this world
Just a little fact about this film. This was child actress Judith Barsi's very last film before she & her mother were brutally murdered by her father in 1988. Her childhood was very tragic & still haunts people to this day.
The sequel is very good in my opinion, I recommend reacting to it! This was my favorite movie when I was 11, and it's still one of my favorite animated movies 13 years later. :) I'm still surprised that this is Rated G with all the smoking, drinking, murder, and the Hell dream though.
Our friend Ken Page (aka Mr. Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas) is King Gator here. I wonder why does this guy plays musical green monsters who swants to eat people… We'll never know…
Fun fact: - The scene where they try shooting Charlie originally it was suppoused to be a tommy gun and not a laser gun. Obviously they censored because of the younger audiance, but if you watch the scene where Scarface's assistant mentioned the laser gun and pay attention to the lips in the animation you can actually see that he is said tommy gun. - Originally the alligator was suppoused to be a business rival to Scarface in which he would join Charlie to defeat him. That might explained why he suddenly show up at the end
This is a film that caused a lot of public outcry when it first came out, at least partly due to the film having way too many dark elements. For what it's worth, however, people started to warm up towards the film over the years and now it's included in one of the classics made by Don Bluth, and sadly, it would be the last one to do so for years to come as he would end up getting into all sorts of executive meddlings for his next 4 films.
I don't think the dark elements were the issue, but the fact that the tone was inconsistent. A good example if this is why the alligator was in this movie (FYI, this started the whole BIG LIP ALLIGATOR MOMENT, we see in animated movies....)
One of Don Bluth’s classics is incredible. Due to this movie’s dark nature, it’s entirely different from Bluth’s An American Tail and The Land Before Time. Great job covering this underrated gem, Nick! This movie was up against Disney’s own flick The Little Mermaid back in 1989. It stood no chance in the early days of the Disney Renaissance Era.
Judith Barsi (the voice of Anne-Marie), was murdered by her father shortly afterward. And for the song Soon You'll Come Home, they did have to bring in a substitute, as when Barsi tried to perform it, she would always break down crying because it reminded her of her abusive father.
Damn. Just damn. To think very little was done to better protect her, even when the evidence was in plain sight. Even her mom was too blindsided by fame and fortune to take immediate action. Really f🦆🦆🦆ing sucks. I'm glad some current movies and TV shows, namely Bluey, do more to protect young actors' identities, though.
Yeah I think you should watch the Sequel. It’s good, I’m not sure I would say it’s better than the first one but it’s a fine sequel that gives more story to Charlie and provides a good ending you’ll like. I think you’ll have a fun time with All Dog let Go to Heaven 2.
I have such vague memories of this movie as a young child. The only thing I remembered the most was the crocodile because I think it scared me. But I loved reliving this with your reaction!
Honestly, if there is one major thing I feel this film could have handled a lot better, it would have to be Charlie earning his wings. I dunno, pushing Anne Marie into clearly dangerous water and assuming she'll be okay then still going after the watch doesn't feel like true redemption to me. Granted, yes, if he tried to paddle her back to shore, he would have died in seconds, but at least the effort would have been there.
A very unique movie, and very special to me. I remember drawing scenes from this movie when I was 7 years old. It's such a stylized cartoon, it intrigues your mind.
Don't worry friend I loved this movie since I was like born and I still get emotional there's just something about how writers were fir animation/film projects in the 80s-2010 time such a big animation fan
It hurts too much to listen Judith Barsi’s Sweet and innocent cutie pie voice, if she would receive too much love and happiness and help and protection😢 she was still alive to have many sucess, health and maybe a happy life without that evil man living with she and her mother giving anxiety to they two
NICK! You was my first man xD I mean - the first man whose reactions to videos I started watching (and got really hooked on this genre), hehehehe I just want to thank you for the fact that for the past two years you have been so comfortable brightening up my evenings and choosing such soulful pictures to watch!
I’m so glad that you picked this animated film to review. I thought it had plenty of heart to it. Also, even if the ending was bittersweet, I’m glad that Charlie ended up back in Heaven for good this time. The songs were at least okay. And yeah, the ending is a real tear jerker, to be sure. I would say 8.5/10 for me on this one. If you want to review another Don Bluth film, I would recommend The Pebble & The Penguin. It was also directed by Don Bluth, and was made by MGM. Anyway, thanks again for reacting to All Dogs Go To Heaven! P.S. Personally, I didn’t think the sequel was all that good, but still feel free to react to it anyway. Maybe you’ll enjoy it more than me. Well, let me know if you do react to it!
Perfect timing, I was just looking for something to watch 😊 will need the tissues for this one though (not seen it since I was a kid) but it was heartbreaking then 😢 excited to see what the show is... fingers crossed for one in particular 🤞hope your well ❤
Great reactions on another Don Bluth film Nickflix.. Don Bluths storytelling philosophy was children can handle dark stuff as long as it has a happy ending. A sad shame this was Judith Barsi's final film.. very very tragic.. RIP Burt Reynolds (Charlie) , Dom DeLuise (Itchy), Judith Barsi (Anne Marie) , Vic Tayback (Carface), Charles Nelson Reilly (Killer)
This was sadly Judith Barsi's last film as a voice Actress. She voiced Ducky in The Land Before Time. Her abusive alcoholic father killed her and her mother in a murder suicide. She was 10 years old. The film qas dedicated in her memory.
One of my favorites from my childhood. I remember watching it on VHS all the time. For me, it's right up there with Secret of NIMH and Land Before Time as one of Don Bluth's best.
I cried so much when Charlie go to Heaven, it’s remembered me my auntie’s dog. I’ve grew up with her dog since I’m a baby, her name was Beauty, she was so kind and protective with me.
It was the last cartoon movie that didn’t care about being a good role model for kids with the gambling, smoking, drinking and controversial humor during the first song. But that is what makes this movie a treasure. This movie was originally intended to be PG because Hell was going to be scarier but the studio wanted it to be more kid friendly so they made Hell a little less scary and because of what happened to the actress of the girl they changed it to a ray gun instead of a machine gun. I wish they stuck with the PG rating because that would have made this movie more popular.
This was my fav childhood movie - my dad got it for me on vhs and i watched it to death 💖 I love how dark and adult it is - with not only themes of death, heaven and hell, but also prison break, gambling, gangs and murder! Not something you'd see in a kids movie 😅
Holy smokes… I’d been wondering if you’d seen this movie before and just waiting for a video to eventually pop up. Your timing for this reaction is perfect, but also unfortunate. My 14-year-old dog died last week Friday, and I had her since puppyhood. This is one of my favourite animated films ever. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to watch it again 😞💔🐾🐶
I have never seen this original dub of this movie, but the Finnish dubbed version was one of my favourite movies as a kid. It's pretty scary and sad at times, but very exciting too! And the Finnish voice acting is amazing. This was great too and the ending totally got me, I cried so much 😭
Great reaction as always Nick! I definitely recommend the sequel. And I also recommend the third movie "An All Dogs Christmas Carol," which is Charlie and Itchy's take on the classic Dickens story.
Judith's line delivery is just top-notch, like what more can you say about her. Don Bluth was right when he said she was a brilliant actor for her age.
After learning what happened to this little girl, part of me hates watching this movie. It's just so painful to know that someone so young died in such a bad way.
This movie is pretty good. I like it. As for the sequels, I have watched the first one many years ago. As far as I remember it was fine and had at least one musical number that I still remember quite well to this day. The one scene I do remember really well is the intro sequence since it is actually pretty sweet. I think there are more sequels and a TV show, but I can't say anything about those. But at least for part two I would indeed enjoy watching a reaction to it.
One of my favorite and most nostalgic Don Bluths. Musical fans complain about it because Burt Reynolds really wasn't a singer but it has a lot of redeeming qualities anyway. Two bits of censorship made this movie a bit confusing. They removed the visual of Charlie being hit by the car on his first death, and the ray gun was originally supposed to be a tommy gun because that scene was supposed to show Charlie was invulnerable because of his watch. And supposedly the original hell scene was even more terrifying but that didn't do anything to confuse the storyline
There is an easily overlooked detail right in the end and it's what Charlie says. He says that Carjack will be back. Consider this, Charlie believes that in the end even Carjack will redeem himself to make it back to heaven.Had anyone else said that, you could just brush it off as wishful thinking, but it's Charlie who believes that his murderer will make it back to heaven. That Charlie redeems himself is a nice message for a movie, but if Carjack can make it back, means that everyone can redeem themselves.
I always cried SO MUCH at the end TT-TT I remember how MUCH I loved the blue light and the sparkles! But honestly, my 2 horror-scenes that really kinda scared me as a kid were the one nightmare-scene because of the sounds - and also the final scene when the clock sinks down under water and the black bubbles come up - idk what it was about this scene but it scared me so much, I hated it x__x I still feel weird when I watch this scene - it's better now though :P but still.... the music is just intense.
This movie was one I wasn’t allowed to watch when I was young, probably due to all the content towards the beginning, so I’m glad to see an adult visiting this rollercoaster! It’s got a lot of surprising character and depth with a typical amount of Don Bluth zanny-ness!
For as Don bluth movies go I like all dogs go to heaven 1 and 2, I did love the land before time movie and honestly those are my favorite out of his collections. I don't mind his moves though.
Don sadly didn't make all dogs 2 or almost any sequel he often didn't make enough to do sequels and sold the rights to a hit to like universal to and they made the sequels the only sequel don was really credited for was bartok the magnificent for Anastasia
@@danmulholland1634 All though I do feel bad for the girl who played as Annemarie and Ducky for Land Before time. But I do feel sad when I think about what happened to. It was such a sad story. How her own dad murdered her. So, besides those two movies, she was never able to make anymore.
All dogs 2 is very good but I would not compare it to the first one persoannly it had different directions in production and alot of voice changes that aren't that close
Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction!! See you tomorrow for a surprise new show and Tuesday for Karate Kid 3!!
Is it gonna be a suprise tv show of justice league please

Worst part is she never got to see Land Before Time or All Dogs Go To Heaven before she passed. What an innocent soul. I cry every time I think about it.
There's actually a trope named after part of this movie called a 'Big Lipped Alligator Moment' which refers to any part of a movie/show that comes out of nowhere, isn't really in keeping with the rest of the story and isn't mentioned again.
@Marcus Porter right you are. Corrected.
As said in the song Hero by Skillet " A hero's not afraid to give his life " and Charlie showed that when he chose to save Anne Marie even though he knew he would die if he didn't reach his watch in time. As for me I will not hesitate to put my life at risk if it means protecting an innocent child from the evil lurking all over this world
Just a little fact about this film. This was child actress Judith Barsi's very last film before she & her mother were brutally murdered by her father in 1988. Her childhood was very tragic & still haunts people to this day.
Honestly I think one of my favorite things about Charlie is that he's not exactly a good guy but you can't help but love him
The sequel is very good in my opinion, I recommend reacting to it!
This was my favorite movie when I was 11, and it's still one of my favorite animated movies 13 years later. :)
I'm still surprised that this is Rated G with all the smoking, drinking, murder, and the Hell dream though.
Poor child Judith Barsi who played Anne-Marie. I wish I was back in time to save her.
26:59 That's the same actor who voiced Oogie Boogie in Nightmare Before Christmas. :)
This gonna hit hard
I used to have this movie on VCR. I’m excited to see your reaction~ it’s def one of my nostalgic faves.
I have this on 📀.
Behold. The birth of the "big lipped alligator moment".
The hell scene was pure nightmare fuel. I hope you are doing awesome nickflix, and also I hope you do the bobs burgers movie sometime.
Our friend Ken Page (aka Mr. Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas) is King Gator here. I wonder why does this guy plays musical green monsters who swants to eat people… We'll never know…
Oh my god yes! This movie is my childhood😍but I literally cry soo hard during this
Fun fact:
- The scene where they try shooting Charlie originally it was suppoused to be a tommy gun and not a laser gun. Obviously they censored because of the younger audiance, but if you watch the scene where Scarface's assistant mentioned the laser gun and pay attention to the lips in the animation you can actually see that he is said tommy gun.
- Originally the alligator was suppoused to be a business rival to Scarface in which he would join Charlie to defeat him. That might explained why he suddenly show up at the end
This movie makes me cry Nicky the story and the little girl every thing about it makes me sad 😅
This is a film that caused a lot of public outcry when it first came out, at least partly due to the film having way too many dark elements. For what it's worth, however, people started to warm up towards the film over the years and now it's included in one of the classics made by Don Bluth, and sadly, it would be the last one to do so for years to come as he would end up getting into all sorts of executive meddlings for his next 4 films.
I don't think the dark elements were the issue, but the fact that the tone was inconsistent. A good example if this is why the alligator was in this movie (FYI, this started the whole BIG LIP ALLIGATOR MOMENT, we see in animated movies....)
One of Don Bluth’s classics is incredible. Due to this movie’s dark nature, it’s entirely different from Bluth’s An American Tail and The Land Before Time. Great job covering this underrated gem, Nick!
This movie was up against Disney’s own flick The Little Mermaid back in 1989. It stood no chance in the early days of the Disney Renaissance Era.
Judith Barsi (the voice of Anne-Marie), was murdered by her father shortly afterward. And for the song Soon You'll Come Home, they did have to bring in a substitute, as when Barsi tried to perform it, she would always break down crying because it reminded her of her abusive father.
omg. that’s completely heartbreaking.
Damn. Just damn. To think very little was done to better protect her, even when the evidence was in plain sight. Even her mom was too blindsided by fame and fortune to take immediate action. Really f🦆🦆🦆ing sucks. I'm glad some current movies and TV shows, namely Bluey, do more to protect young actors' identities, though.
Yeah I think you should watch the Sequel. It’s good, I’m not sure I would say it’s better than the first one but it’s a fine sequel that gives more story to Charlie and provides a good ending you’ll like. I think you’ll have a fun time with All Dog let Go to Heaven 2.
I have such vague memories of this movie as a young child. The only thing I remembered the most was the crocodile because I think it scared me. But I loved reliving this with your reaction!
Honestly, if there is one major thing I feel this film could have handled a lot better, it would have to be Charlie earning his wings. I dunno, pushing Anne Marie into clearly dangerous water and assuming she'll be okay then still going after the watch doesn't feel like true redemption to me. Granted, yes, if he tried to paddle her back to shore, he would have died in seconds, but at least the effort would have been there.
A very unique movie, and very special to me. I remember drawing scenes from this movie when I was 7 years old. It's such a stylized cartoon, it intrigues your mind.
I will have the songs in my playlists
Long as nothing happens to the watch, or it never stops ticking, he lives.
Hence why when he finally dies, it's because the water made it stop.
I’ve seen this movie over 10 times yet I still cried
Don't worry friend I loved this movie since I was like born and I still get emotional there's just something about how writers were fir animation/film projects in the 80s-2010 time such a big animation fan
It hurts too much to listen Judith Barsi’s Sweet and innocent cutie pie voice, if she would receive too much love and happiness and help and protection😢 she was still alive to have many sucess, health and maybe a happy life without that evil man living with she and her mother giving anxiety to they two
The ending always brings me to tears no matter how old I’ll get.
NICK! You was my first man xD I mean - the first man whose reactions to videos I started watching (and got really hooked on this genre), hehehehe
I just want to thank you for the fact that for the past two years you have been so comfortable brightening up my evenings and choosing such soulful pictures to watch!
Rest in Peace to baby girl, Judith Barsi. She didn’t deserve to die the way she did. She’s with God and the other Angels
I’m so glad that you picked this animated film to review. I thought it had plenty of heart to it. Also, even if the ending was bittersweet, I’m glad that Charlie ended up back in Heaven for good this time. The songs were at least okay. And yeah, the ending is a real tear jerker, to be sure. I would say 8.5/10 for me on this one. If you want to review another Don Bluth film, I would recommend The Pebble & The Penguin. It was also directed by Don Bluth, and was made by MGM. Anyway, thanks again for reacting to All Dogs Go To Heaven!
P.S. Personally, I didn’t think the sequel was all that good, but still feel free to react to it anyway. Maybe you’ll enjoy it more than me. Well, let me know if you do react to it!
Also rest in peace Judith Barsi
Perfect timing, I was just looking for something to watch 😊 will need the tissues for this one though (not seen it since I was a kid) but it was heartbreaking then 😢 excited to see what the show is... fingers crossed for one in particular 🤞hope your well ❤
25:55 A Big Lipped Alligator Moment
Great reactions on another Don Bluth film Nickflix.. Don Bluths storytelling philosophy was children can handle dark stuff as long as it has a happy ending.
A sad shame this was Judith Barsi's final film.. very very tragic..
RIP Burt Reynolds (Charlie)
, Dom DeLuise (Itchy), Judith Barsi (Anne Marie) , Vic Tayback (Carface), Charles Nelson Reilly (Killer)
Please watch the ash lad in the hall of the mountain king. It’s a very good fantasy movie!
This was sadly Judith Barsi's last film as a voice Actress. She voiced Ducky in The Land Before Time. Her abusive alcoholic father killed her and her mother in a murder suicide. She was 10 years old.
The film qas dedicated in her memory.
The Hell scene used to scare the crap out of me.😂
One of my favorites from my childhood. I remember watching it on VHS all the time. For me, it's right up there with Secret of NIMH and Land Before Time as one of Don Bluth's best.
One of my top favorite movies as a kid
When you know what happened to Anne Marie voice actor the end is just more heartbreaking
Carface's VA was having WAY too much fun. XD
In all the don bluth movies dom DeLuise Was one of my favourite characters rip 😢
Your reactions are so adorable in a very special way
I cried so much when Charlie go to Heaven, it’s remembered me my auntie’s dog. I’ve grew up with her dog since I’m a baby, her name was Beauty, she was so kind and protective with me.
It was the last cartoon movie that didn’t care about being a good role model for kids with the gambling, smoking, drinking and controversial humor during the first song. But that is what makes this movie a treasure. This movie was originally intended to be PG because Hell was going to be scarier but the studio wanted it to be more kid friendly so they made Hell a little less scary and because of what happened to the actress of the girl they changed it to a ray gun instead of a machine gun. I wish they stuck with the PG rating because that would have made this movie more popular.
1989 was an awesome year.
RIP Judith Barsi ❤ sweet baby deserved better
The little girl’s voice actress was brutally murdered by her own father. Makes this movie even sadder, considering the material.
This was my fav childhood movie - my dad got it for me on vhs and i watched it to death 💖 I love how dark and adult it is - with not only themes of death, heaven and hell, but also prison break, gambling, gangs and murder! Not something you'd see in a kids movie 😅
Mine too!! Wore the vhs out
You are my favorite subscriber ❤
Oh hell yeah mu favorite TH-camr uploaded. Just in time to i just smoked a blunt and now eating some Sfogliatell.
Holy smokes… I’d been wondering if you’d seen this movie before and just waiting for a video to eventually pop up. Your timing for this reaction is perfect, but also unfortunate. My 14-year-old dog died last week Friday, and I had her since puppyhood. This is one of my favourite animated films ever. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to watch it again 😞💔🐾🐶
I have never seen this original dub of this movie, but the Finnish dubbed version was one of my favourite movies as a kid. It's pretty scary and sad at times, but very exciting too! And the Finnish voice acting is amazing. This was great too and the ending totally got me, I cried so much 😭
Great reaction as always Nick! I definitely recommend the sequel. And I also recommend the third movie "An All Dogs Christmas Carol," which is Charlie and Itchy's take on the classic Dickens story.
I remember watching this movie nonstop when I was a kid, but now, it's just too darn depressing 😭
Judith's line delivery is just top-notch, like what more can you say about her. Don Bluth was right when he said she was a brilliant actor for her age.
I'd agree with you reacting to the second all dogs go to heaven 2.
movie from my birth year. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid too (on VHS lol) . glad you enjoyed it! the sequel's not bad either.
After learning what happened to this little girl, part of me hates watching this movie. It's just so painful to know that someone so young died in such a bad way.
This movie is pretty good. I like it.
As for the sequels, I have watched the first one many years ago. As far as I remember it was fine and had at least one musical number that I still remember quite well to this day.
The one scene I do remember really well is the intro sequence since it is actually pretty sweet.
I think there are more sequels and a TV show, but I can't say anything about those.
But at least for part two I would indeed enjoy watching a reaction to it.
This is still one of the darkest movies from my childhood but also one of my favorites ❤
One of my favorite and most nostalgic Don Bluths. Musical fans complain about it because Burt Reynolds really wasn't a singer but it has a lot of redeeming qualities anyway. Two bits of censorship made this movie a bit confusing. They removed the visual of Charlie being hit by the car on his first death, and the ray gun was originally supposed to be a tommy gun because that scene was supposed to show Charlie was invulnerable because of his watch. And supposedly the original hell scene was even more terrifying but that didn't do anything to confuse the storyline
This movie scared me as a kid, R.I.P. to Judith Barsi
This is by far my favorite Don Bluth film! So happy you gave this a try :)
This is a great one bro. The first time I saw this movie was 28 years ago when I was in kindergarten. I hope you enjoyed it.
Watched this one and the sequel many times growing up. 💕
I love all the all dogs go to heaven movies
There is an easily overlooked detail right in the end and it's what Charlie says. He says that Carjack will be back. Consider this, Charlie believes that in the end even Carjack will redeem himself to make it back to heaven.Had anyone else said that, you could just brush it off as wishful thinking, but it's Charlie who believes that his murderer will make it back to heaven.
That Charlie redeems himself is a nice message for a movie, but if Carjack can make it back, means that everyone can redeem themselves.
I always cried SO MUCH at the end TT-TT I remember how MUCH I loved the blue light and the sparkles!
But honestly, my 2 horror-scenes that really kinda scared me as a kid were the one nightmare-scene because of the sounds - and also the final scene when the clock sinks down under water and the black bubbles come up - idk what it was about this scene but it scared me so much, I hated it x__x
I still feel weird when I watch this scene - it's better now though :P but still.... the music is just intense.
29:55
This movie was one I wasn’t allowed to watch when I was young, probably due to all the content towards the beginning, so I’m glad to see an adult visiting this rollercoaster! It’s got a lot of surprising character and depth with a typical amount of Don Bluth zanny-ness!
Also impending is the growling speech at 33:40!
For as Don bluth movies go I like all dogs go to heaven 1 and 2, I did love the land before time movie and honestly those are my favorite out of his collections. I don't mind his moves though.
Don sadly didn't make all dogs 2 or almost any sequel he often didn't make enough to do sequels and sold the rights to a hit to like universal to and they made the sequels the only sequel don was really credited for was bartok the magnificent for Anastasia
@@danmulholland1634 All though I do feel bad for the girl who played as Annemarie and Ducky for Land Before time. But I do feel sad when I think about what happened to. It was such a sad story. How her own dad murdered her. So, besides those two movies, she was never able to make anymore.
No worries, Nick. I feel the same way about a lot of Don Bluth films if its any consolation.
DO THE SEQUEL YOU'LL LOVE IT!
I usually don't agree with straight to video sequels, but George Hearn makes that one.
All dogs 2 is very good but I would not compare it to the first one persoannly it had different directions in production and alot of voice changes that aren't that close
Ah, this movie was my childhood
Me to lol
