This attractive story that represents a family entertainment at its best , contains thrills , intrigue , tension, excitement galore, entertainment and lots of fun , concerning a friendly, peaceful beagle dog who is locked at a prison for dogs, run by dogs . The tale itself is based, almost completely , around dogs providing them human qualities . However , being slightly unsatisfactory both for fans of prison escape sub-genre and for dogs buffs , the latter hoping to watch the most entertaining scenes . It follows in the footsteps of movies which use John Lasseter/Pixar-like quality style . This animated comedy-adventure movie results to be a crossover between classic prison movies as The great escape (1963) by Donald Siegel , The longest year (1974) by Robert Aldrich, and even Victory (1981) by John Huston , taking parts here and there . Although it holds heavily on the barely plausible notion of a squad of dogs escaping from an impregnable prison . It's essentially a story about friendship, comradeship , valor , loyalty , and bravery .It packs exceptional plethora of prestigious Spanish actors giving voice to the protagonists dogs such as : Dani Rovira , José Mota , Michelle Jenner , Carlos Areces , Elsa Pataky and Fernando Tejero . Suspenseful and thrilling musical score by prestigious Fernando Velazquez who has composed important films as ¨Hercules¨, ¨The orphanage¨, ¨70 binladens¨, ¨Submergence¨, ¨The imposible¨, ¨Crimson peak¨, among others . The motion picture was professionally directed by Alberto Rodríguez and Nacho La Casa. And it won several prizes as Cinema Writers Circle Awards, Spain 2017 Winner CEC Award Best Animated Film : Alberto Rodríguez , Gaudí Awards 2017 Winner : Gaudí Award ,Best Animated Feature . And Nominee : The Platino Awards for Iberoamerican Cinema 2017 , Platino Award : Best Animation Film . This is a nice film targeted for kids of all ages and some adults too .

Ozzy is a suburban dog whose biggest problem is a sadistic paper boy and his viscous dog. When his family goes on a trip, he is put up in a high end doggie spa. In reality, the palatial kennel is nothing but a front. The dogs are shipped off to a prison work camp making frisbees.

I have issues with the story but mostly it's the animation where this could improve. It's a Spanish-Canadian coproduction and it looks more than a decade obsolete. It has no chance to be the top of the line. They should learn to be more like Blue Sky where the animation is more cartoon and gear the story towards kids. I don't think a doggie prison is kiddie material. There are numerous other issues. Overall, this is simply inferior.

I am near my mid-life crisis but still like to watch a good Animation like Shrek, Moana or Encanto... my favourite though is Spirited Away, anyway, as much as I tried to enjoy the movie, the quality of animation reminds me of a noon-kids tv show, it's nowhere near any animation blockbuster, I'd rather watch an old disney comic animation than this "90s"-3d-style, really put me off.

This movie looks like a 8 year olds source film makers side project in terms of animation but it's kinda endearing with the plot, characters, and overall message being nothing to write home out. It's still fun if you look at it though a ironic/joke watch kinda way, I smoked a bunch before watching this and it was honestly one of the best movie experiences I've had since Barbie. 5/10, only fun for small kids and people who wanna have fun/ kills time, don't watch it if you're genuinely trying to have a good film experience. The review is technically over so imma just say random stuff related to the movie. It kinda reminds me of that one movie about that talking bat and there was this kid and they went on an adventure or something and there was a gender swap baseball bat love interest.

When I sat down to watch "Ozzy" with the family, I was expecting this to be a family-oriented and suitable animated movie, however it turned out that it had some fairly more mature storyline to it, because it dealt with some topics that seemed a bit too heavy and appalling for a young audience whom might not fully understand the concept of it.

While it was intended for a more grown-up audience, it turned out that the storyline in "Ozzy" actually was quite good, and it was entertaining. You just have to get past that this is not really an animated movie intended for the youngest of audiences.

The animation in "Ozzy" was good, and it did have a good feel to it. A good amount of variation in the characters, and the characters did have depth and different personalities.

An animated movie needs a good ensemble of voice actors and actresses to it, and the ones in "Ozzy" were doing fair jobs with their given roles. Now, I can't really say that they had some outstanding names on the cast list. And while the English dubbed version had Will Sasso and Rob Schneider on the list, they didn't really stand out from the other talents. In fact, I didn't even recognize Rob Schneider's voice as being his.

The dialogue in "Ozzy" was actually quite good, but again, do keep in mind that this is for an audience that is not the youngest of viewers.

All in all, "Ozzy" was an entertaining animated movie, although it hardly had the potential to be a classic. And I actually doubt that I will be returning to watch it a second time around, as it just didn't have that quality to it.
