Ozzy, la grande évasion

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.

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.

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.

This movie has some very adult themes and had to stop halfway through. It started out well enough but then went down hill. I wouldn't recommend this for the family because it touches on some very gritty and dark themes. I would not watch this with any child under the age of thirteen because the adult is left with so many questions to explain to a child who has difficulty in understanding the ways of the world.

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.
