#Fluppy Dogs

[queenofsquids]

Just discovered that my parents kept my childhood Fluppy Dog this whole time 🥹 Found him out in the barn!

I don't know what I feel about this except I'm glad to see him.

He is filthy, I put him in a plastic bag until I can get back home and figure out how he should be cleaned. I can see a lot of yarn tips are all frazzled out, I know I scuffed him around with me for a long time.

Unproduced Puppy Twins by Mattel

"Twice as much to love!"

There were to be three sets of 6" high twins in this line, with intertwinable bibs.

How much do you know of the Fluppy Dogs pilot?

I'm assuming this comes on the heels of the lastest "Colin LookBack" video? XD

So I know as much about it as Colin talked about it in the video, never heard of them before today xD

For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of checking out Colin's channel I implore you to do so! He's doing a Chronological review of every Disney animated villian, talking about their creation, their appearances outside of their films and so many more interesting things! I've often found stuff to use in my Villain Backstories that I'd never heard of anywhere else.

They're very well researched and produced, cannot recommend enough!

Here's the latest one:

Fluppy Dogs (1986)

Warnings: None! this movie is ridiculously inoffensive Why did you choose this? Magic pubbies... cute What is this thing? Fluppy Dogs is a childrens book turned 45 minute pilot by Disney. This aired on Thanksgiving of 1986 so, tis the season. Unfortunately, the ratings for the special were very low, and Disney decided not to pick this up for a full series.

The good! Multicolored puppydogs with magical powers? sign me up. This movie was before my time, but kid me would've gone completely wild. Look at them, they're so cute, even though their design is a bit samey across the cast. They could've changed the dog breeds up a little, but oh well. A friend of mine noted that they look way better than Pound Puppies, and he's right. This would've been preferable.

[apologies for this deep fried quality, but you get the idea] Also, I like the name. Fluffy + Puppy = Fluppy, it's goofy 10/10 The special was animated by TMS, so the animation is top tier, no notes. The soundtrack is nicely done by a symphonic band(?) It follows a lot of familiar musical tropes for a children's show in the 80's, but it was kind of nice to hear again, even if it gets a bit repetitive. The bad! You can tell Disney was aiming at a Care Bears ripoff and this is exactly it. There's nothing that makes the Fluppy's stand out. They make you fly if you pet them, and they go on magical adventures through inter-dimensional doors. Care Bears worked because they were more cohesive in their mission and powers. They fly on in and help kids with their problems. Fluppy's? they show up in our world and wreak havoc because they got lost going on a magical door adventure. There were points where this almost felt like a parody show from Saturday Morning All Star Hits, the way the Fluppy's made Jamie (our self insert kid protagonist) play hookey from school and messed up his house. They put it back together, but still. When Jamie tries to put his foot down, Stanley (our Fluppy protagonist) tries bribing him with "Well don't you like going on adventures, Jamie?" It really felt like Charlie the Unicorn. Unlike a lot of cartoon reviewers, I give one dimensional villains slack. They can have a purpose and be fun if done right. But this antagonist was a snoozeball. An evil rich animal collector trying to capture the fluppies. Tell me you haven't heard this one before. He had one relatable scene though:

Pictured: Me when puppy. Also, look at this thang:

Its smug aura mocks me. I do not like this. I signed up for puppies. Get it out of here. This may be my 90's kid-now-old experience talking, but I could never stand a character who's purpose is to do nothing but be disruptive. You don't see these characters anymore, and my working theory is that people my age are making cartoons now, and they couldn't stand them either. Rating: 5/10

It's a perfectly average 80's kids special, and perfectly harmless. It's made by disney, so zero risks were involved here. But the cartoon quality is high. You can (coughs) find a full version on youtube. I doubt it's being put up on Disney+ any time soon. But the 2017 Ducktales gave them a little shout-out, and I think that's very sweet.

DTVA/DTS TAGTEAM TWEET-ATHON MOVIE #1: FLUPPY DOGS (1986)

To call this a movie is generous. It is a series of colors in shapes pared with what can legally be defined as audio. I don’t know what happened in this. I’m not sure anything happened.

So there’s these DAWGS! But they ain’t dogs cuz they wear clothes or somethin’. And they meet this kid who hates them, but then he doesn’t. And there’s this old man who thinks a snake is a mythical creature. Then they open a portal to hell and trap the billionaire in it.

Watching this movie felt like a dream. The pacing was nonexistent. The plot felt like a computer wrote it. The characters are all terrible other than the villain whose motivation is comically stupid. The whole thing was a dumpster fire that they tried to put on ToysRUs shelves.

This is something you watch for sheer absurdity of it all. I wouldn’t say it’s any good beyond that. 

4/10

I’m not really a merch person, I’m not really a loungefly person, I don’t have the money for a loungefly bag right now because they are way too expensive, the new loungefly popples bag is kind of ugly in a cute way and I don’t want it but it POPS like a popple and I’m not going to buy it because, again, the funds are not there and it’s plush and therefore completely impractical as a bag (it’d get dirty immediately), but I’m still going to sit here doing nostalgia fueled grabby hands towards it.
