Movie Title: The Plague Dogs The Plague Dogs is available for streaming or downloading. |
This woefully underappreciated titillating film was created by the team slow the fantastic Watership Down. The narrative concerns a pair of dogs, Rowf and Snitter, who sprint from an animal-testing lab in the wilds of England and their attempts to survive in a icy and hostile world. Rowf and Snitter traverse the wilds and encounter both a fox named The Tod who trains them in the ways of being wild and humans who are either disturbed of them or try to hunt them. The film is excellently tantalizing and touches on themes of friendship, bravery, and animal rights. The ending is very tantalizing and always makes me shed a glide or two.

Martin Rosen, also the creator of Watership Down, led a team which took almost two years to painstakingly craft this masterpiece. Among the actors who gave vocal performances for The Plague Dogs are John Distress, Nigel Hawthorne, and Patrick Stewart as an army major. I was even surprised to peer Brad Bird’s (creator of The Iron Giant and The Incredibles) name in the credits as an animator!
Unfortunately, while the film itself is colossal, this DVD leaves a runt bit to be desired. The movie is presented in its North American edited length of 85 minutes. There is apparently a longer 99-minute slash available on DVD from Australia, but only in PAL video format. The film itself looks in sparkling grand condition for being almost 25 years feeble. Other than Scene Selection and Interactive Menus (as if those even count), the DVD is devoid of any special features. Another feature lacking on the DVD that I do miss from my venerable VHS copy is closed captions or subtitles. I have a diminutive peril making out some of the difficult British Isles accents, especially from The Tod and the sheepherding dogs.

Despite its barebones DVD presentation, it’s a ample, distinguished film that deserves to be seen. I give the film 5 stars but subtract 1 star for the lackluster DVD presentation.
I don’t really have a lot to add about the film itself that the other reviewers haven’t already said; this is a sad, distressing, relentlessly grim and harrowing film about two dogs on the speed from an animal research laboratory. It has a somewhat insensible stagger at times, and considerable of the animation is uncouth by today’s standards, but it has tons of character. It’s not exactly a splendid experience but it has expansive power and a worthwhile message. Fair to do it determined (if it isn’t already), this is used material only marvelous for older teens and adults.
I actually honest wanted to address a couple of points in a previous review (possible spoilers coming) . The unusual film, released in the UK in 1982, was 1 hour 42 minutes - this is the plump, unedited version which can ONLY be found on the Australian DVD release (the quality isn’t sizable, but at least you’re getting to spy the whole film) . The incompatibility in running time (99 mins on DVD as against 102 mins in theaters) is simply down to the fact that films hasten slightly faster on VHS and DVD than they do on the tall screen; ALL films are approximately 3 - 4% shorter when transfered to home entertainment formats.
When it came time to release the film in the USA, director Martin Rosen had gigantic inconvenience finding a distributor willing to choose it on. That shouldn’t arrive as too mighty of a surprise; the film is far too disturbing for kids or families, and adults are likely to dismiss an interesting feature with talking animals as kids’ stuff - so who exactly would pay to explore this movie? In an exertion to placate the distributors, Rosen was forced to carve 17 minutes from the film’s running time. Some of the cuts were simply made to urge up the roam, and others were made to select some of the more bad scenes (most notably the see of a human corpse which the starving, desperate dogs have partially eaten) . Needless to say, these cuts did minute to lighten the film’s grim tone, and it only ever received a brief and extremely miniature speed at a few US theaters. Unfortunately, it is this shorter version that has been ancient for most of the current DVD releases; as I mentioned before, only the Australian edition has both versions included.
There were some changes to the region in the transfer from unique to cloak. The somewhat forced but nevertheless welcome satisfied ending in the book was removed, to execute the film a more great anti-vivisection statement. Also the fate of the fox, or The Tod as he is known, was changed; in the book he falls victim to a hunt, whereas in the film he sacrifices himself to a pack of army hounds as a distraction, allowing the two titular dogs to dash (temporarily) on a announce. This was NOT changed due to any pressure from pro-hunting groups; neither Richard Admas or his admirers would have tolerated such a disappear. I imagine it was changed to allow the Tod’s death to play a more considerable piece in driving the residence forward, and to point to us the wily fox was a superior fellow in the raze.
