Ozzy - Cucciolo coraggioso

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.

What the heck is this. This movie is so god awful and formulaic. This movie is just a prison escape movie but with dogs. The only time this movie laughed was when I saw the 10 star rating on this web site, the movie is not funny, the mc is a whiny insufferable character.. ; ) You know, you can see the movie inside the scene where they are sneaking into the room. I mean this is good by illumination standards tho. The emotional scenes made me cry of pain. How in the REDACTED did the family believe the warden!? The animation is god awful, and this movie is so bad, it shouldn't even be free, they should pay YOU. The comic relief is unfunny and makes mater sound like a comedian. The only reason this is a 4/10 is because there is worse stuff. The best part of this movie was the credits, which were admittedly cute. Speaking of which the character designs are terrible and what kinda dog wears goggles?

the inevitably, someone will say it's "the worst" animation. This definitely isn't Pixar, but it's not the worst either (check out Video Brinquedo for some of the worst quality cgi animation.) Not all traditional animation is at the same level as Fantasia, and people seem to be able to accept that, but if it's cgi, and it doesn't look like the multi-million dollar product of Illumination or Blue Sky or Dreamworks animation, everyone is going to call it "the worst"

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.

Effectively this is a prison genre movie but animated and dogs are the main characters. It is not a bad story but the animation is not the best quality. Also the concepts within the movie are not really appropriate for children. I think it loses many points for not being a children's film as it claims.
