It's a dog's life....literally

Funny show about a boy who turns into a dog after coming under an ancient spell. This, of course, leads to all sorts of trouble and adventures. Fred McMurray played the part of the put upon dad to perfection, he had me rolling in the floor. Also, the cops who couldn't quite believe their eyes tickled my funnybone, and they put on quite a show with their comical car chase. Silly Disney stuff to be sure, but lots of fun.

Trivia
The story of Wilby Daniels having to conceal his real self has often been viewed as ironic considering the closeted life Tommy Kirk was leading.

Goofs
The basement window is hinged at the bottom and is open at the top into the room. Then, when Shaggy/Wilby goes through the window, it is hinged at the top and opens outward on the bottom.

Quotes
Moochie Daniels: Gee, Wilby, you know I like you much better as a dog.

Alternate versions
This film is also available in a computer colorized version. The colorized version was made for syndicated TV in the 1980s and was originally 10 minutes shorter than the original theatrical cut. The DVD release contains both versions of the film, with the colorized version being the same length as the original theatrical black and white version.
