Obscure Animation Subject #71: All Dogs Go to Heaven
Originally posted on Twitter on May 21, 2023.
Happy birthday to me! Since its my birthday today, why not talk about a feature film for a change?
It is directed by Don Bluth with a screenplay by David N. Weiss from a story by various people in the industry business.
The film is a collaboration between Goldcrest Films and Sullivan Bluth Studios Ireland Ltd., a co-production between the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States, it was distributed by United Artists in the US and Rank Film Distributors in the UK and Ireland.
Released on November 17, 1989 in the US, February 8, 1990 in the UK and April 6, 1990 in Ireland, it follows a shepherd named Charlie B. Barkin, whose murdered by his former friend, Carface Carruthers. Charlie escapes from Heaven to return to Earth where his best friend, Itchy Itchiford.
Charlie still lives, in order to take revenge on Carface. Instead, he ends up befriending a young orphan girl named Anne-Marie (voiced by Judith Barsi in her final film role). In the process, Charlie learns an important lesson about kindness, friendship and love.
On its US release, it competed directly with Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid, released on the same day. While it did not repeat the box-office success of Sullivan Bluth's previous features, it was successful on home video, becoming one of the biggest-selling VHS releases ever.
And, its a very bizarre piece of animation I will say. Critics were polarized on the film and I was confused when watching, being a serious film about death that the gabling Shepherd is facing, then shifts to a cutesy tone when the girl comes in then, dark as hell?
Yeah, this is the most bizarre film from Bluth. It didn’t do very well at the box-office when competing with the superior Little Mermaid, but when it was released on home media, it became a sleeper hit and has been on top of the VHS sales, forming a cult following.
It was so successful that a theatrical sequel, a television show and direct-to-video holiday film were produced. Afterwards though, nothing from the franchise came since. However, it still has its fandom and like The Little Mermaid, it may get its live-action remake, who knows…
It may not be the best from Bluth, but I highly recommend it if your curious. It’s such an interesting film to discuss about, although it went through more hell than heaven. Kinda a shame it did because the sequel sucked, the TV show is meh and the Christmas film also sucked.

An experimental collection of vignettes, fic(-lets), and drabbles of various characters in wildly random situations. Featuring mostly character from the Disney Frannchise but characters from other franchises also appear, including (but not limited to): DreamWorks, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. Some ideas will likely be expanded into full stories of their own in the future...
