All dogs go to heaven, but everyone wants to stay there. Charlie, a cross between a German shepherd and a mongrel, definitely doesn’t want to: the mere sight of pink clouds and squeaking puppies chasing colorful balls makes the dog feel nauseous. And for some reason they stick these chicken wings on everyone - what kind of pop is that? On earth, Charlie was a co-owner of a dog casino and his habits and ethical attitudes began to resemble some kind of rat more than a dog. There is nothing for such people to do in heaven - this is what Charlie decides and runs away from Heaven back to earth. True, not the most pleasant news awaits the dog at home: Charlie’s ticket to heaven was given to him by his vile business partner Carface. This greedy bulldog wanted to run the dog casino only with his own chubby paws, and Charlie certainly would not have voluntarily given up his share. The title character, who escaped from paradise, really wants to take revenge on his ex-partner, and the best way to punish a greedy and envious competitor is to steal his money and clients. Charlie decides to build his business strategy on the foundation of deception and theft: together with his friend, the dachshund Itchy, Charlie kidnaps a “monster” from Carface - a six-year-old girl who speaks with animals. Anne-Marie is an orphan and communicates better with animals than with people. Horses participating in races treat the girl especially well - from them the orphan learns who will win the race and brings pleasantly heavy wads of money to the basses who use her. So a kind and naive girl joins a pack of unkind and selfish dogs. Who will rehabilitate whom, and will Charlie finally become a good boy? The main character will definitely have to pass the lice test, because in the underground business you can’t get attached to anyone, and the dog definitely did not remain indifferent to Anne-Marie. As the kitten Woof says: there are troubles waiting for you, you need to rush to them urgently.
Trailer:
The cartoon is quite dark and heavy for a children's audience. The very question of life after death already implies a high age rating, and the scenes in the casino and at the races also show situations and characters that are not the most necessary for children. But at least in the first part there were no scenes with a huge and creepy cat demon - they saved that for the second.
The best full-length cartoons about dogs
Lady and the Tramp
Lady and the Tramp
- USA, 1955.
- Animation, comedy, melodrama.
- Duration: 76 minutes.
- IMDb: 7.3.
A still from the cartoon “Lady and the Tramp”
The life of a young couple is transformed the moment they get a charming Cocker Spaniel girl named Lady. But a few years later, a small child appears in the family, and this radically changes the situation. The upset Lady runs away and meets a stray dog, Tramp. He is ready to open the world outside her yard to a new acquaintance. This is how their complicated love story begins.
Lady and the Tramp can easily be included among the most charming couples in love in the entire history of cinema, and the scene with a romantic dinner in the courtyard of an Italian restaurant has long turned into a bright pop culture symbol.
Interestingly, Lady and the Tramp clearly implies a love scene, although at the time the slightest hint of sex before marriage in films was frowned upon by Hollywood. This can be explained very simply: censorship never reached the cartoon, because the main characters are not people, but dogs.

101 Dalmatians
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
- USA, 1961.
- Animation, comedy.
- Duration: 79 minutes.
- IMDb: 7.2.
Odious fashionista Cruella De Vil is going to steal Dalmatian puppies and sew herself new clothes from their beautiful skins. The villain sends two stupid bandits, Jasper and Horace, on the case. But the owners - the good-natured and slightly absent-minded composer Roger and his wife Anita - are not going to sit idly by and set out on a search.
Of course, the cartoon is primarily about dogs, but what viewers remember most is the eccentric Madame De Ville. The creators deliberately made her look a little like actress Marlene Dietrich (long cigarette holder in her hand, high cheekbones, arched thin eyebrows) and chose a very fashionable wardrobe for her.

The Fox and the Dog
The Fox and the Hound
- USA, 1981.
- Animation, adventure, drama.
- Duration: 83 minutes.
- IMDb: 7.3.
Todd the fox and Cooper the puppy are growing up on neighboring farms. At first the animals were very friendly. But over time, they understand that nature has prepared for one of them the role of a hunter, and the other - a victim.
Daniel P. Mannix's original novel ended tragically. Therefore, the Walt Disney Pictures team decided not to repeat the mistakes of “Bambi”, but to rewrite the script so as not to traumatize young viewers. Nevertheless, the ending of the cartoon was bittersweet and very different from the studio’s traditional endings.

Desperate Dogs
The Plague Dogs
- UK, USA, 1982.
- Animation, adventure, drama.
- Duration: 103 minutes.

Still from the cartoon "Desperate Dogs"
Two dogs - the elderly Rowf and the young Snitter - escape from the laboratory where they are being experimented on. Thus begins their long and difficult struggle for survival, in which they are helped by a fox named Rogue.
Martin Rosen's cartoon is not intended for children at all. The film criticizes cruelty to animals, and does so in such a dark and even depressing style that viewing may be difficult even for some adults.
