For those of y'all who didn't get to see/read my previous review on this, I decided to delete it to type up a new one and change my rating for it. I was inspired to have second thoughts after reading a review of this on a blog, I'll elaborate more on that in a moment. As one of Walt Disney Television Animation's earliest productions, it was to be the stepping stone to a T.V. series that never came to be. When this first aired, it was a few days after I was born. I wouldn't see any of it until I visited someone's house and caught it there in the mid '90s. I saw only part of it (which was when Jamie and Claire have to hide the Fluppy Dogs in the basement from Jamie's mom), but it looked interesting. Almost five years ago (late May 2011), after reading and learning more about it on Wikipedia, I watched the whole special on Youtube. I'm glad I was able to do both. Though I am so and originally gave this ten stars, I now have second thoughts about that. I had a change of mind and decided to reduce it to six stars instead because, again, I was influenced by a piece a read on it by a blogger. He pointed out that it's not without its flaws, notably the writing. Nobody get me wrong. I still enjoy it despite that, but it's not totally perfect or even the best. I don't detest it, I still find it to be passable, but I don't consider it my most favorite either. I can't really hate this enough to give this the lowest rating possible here, as there have been worse and it's not as bad as those other, worse things. So it's not like it's very bad and I think I'd still buy it anyway if it were available officially on DVD. If there's any one good thing I can say is that at least the animation quality is up to Disney's standards as they usually have been. The characters are alright, although better could've been done with the Fluppy Dogs. It'd been mentioned this never went further than the pilot stage due to low ratings and shortage of viewer support. The blogger believes this happened, because of its imperfections, such as the writing. The points that he made, maybe he did have them there. I like how Disney attempted to adapt the toy line and other merchandise, and it was a nice try, but could've been better. I wish it were, I would've loved to see this as a series. It left me wanting more. Had it been expanded upon, all it would've needed was some fine-tuning. Regardless of the problems with it, I, too, would recommend this. Since at least it's not like the mindless drivel that's too common on kids' T.V. nowadays. This is a good watch if y'all don't happen to find anything better.

We love this movie and still use quotes Years later. Unfortunately, outside of our little family- no one actually "gets" what we are referring to. If I find this movie, I am buying a copy for each member of my family. So, we can show it to others when they ask. It will be a great find, it I can locate it. Our family has a vivid imagination and the idea of puppies that can talk, has always been a wish. We think the colors and the excitement of discovery and adventure is a great theme. Being Irish we always think there is Magic just out of sight, so the Fluppy Dogs hold real appeal. There is no one that can make movies like the Disney group. I just do not see why this would not be re-released.

I would really like a copy of this for my future children... I used to watch this when I was young , but its probably been 15 years...all I can remember is colorful scenes of crystals and out of this world flowers... Uniquely Magical it is I cannot believe that it isn't recognized for that. I wish Disney would release it on DVD I wish there was somewhere to at least watch it again. This is the only child's movie that has really stuck with me even if it was only that one scene, I remember watching it and knowing that I would never forget it. I feel bad for the others also that seem to be in the same situation. If anyone knows of a place to obtain a copy or to view it if they could please share it with the rest of us I think everyone would really appreciate it, it would be even better if Disney re-released this to DVD so the legacy wouldn't disappear with the 80's generation.

i used to watch this movie as a kid over and over until the me and my brothers broke to tape, wish i could buy a copy for my kid and nephew. it was great movie even that i don't i have seen it in about 10 to 12 years. it was a good talking dog movie i don't know why it wasn't sold to the public it was on TV but as far as i know never sold in store. as far as i can remember the dogs walked and talked and their were 5 all up and they were different colours like blue green pink yellow and purple there are movies out there that don't get to make it to the store. i just don't know why it should have to be ten lines to be able to make a comment about a movie but hopefully i will be able to get a couple one day
