Ugh, another PETS-splotation movie.

[RICHARD]

I saw the trailer for a new kiddie movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahua".

Looks like it's about a BH dog that gets sent to Mexico, on accident of course, and has to find it's way back home with the help of some dogs with some really bad effing Mexican accents.

First of all, this is another stupid storyline that has to do with the Paris Hilton phenomenon. I think that keeping dogs in purses and letting people take them into restaurants is really stupid. I do like the fact that some places will let you bring a dog to a outdoor/patio setting, but I don't care for the indoors dining experience of someone feeding a small dog on their lap at the next table.

I was channel surfing one day and say some jerk with a dog on his lap inside a restaurant. He was playing with the dog, scratching his hair and putting it up to his face. I found out later that he is some kind of plastic surgeon on that show. For a doctor, he shows that anyone can be really smart and an effing moron at the same time.

I can eat my own cat's hair, but I don't want to be in a restaurant dining on the hair of someone else's dog.

Two?

Maybe no one else will pick up on the super bad accents that the dogs of Mexico have in this film -If it were Akitas with bad Japanese accents or any other pets associated with a culture or race, there would be a public outcry for sure! If Disney did a rapping Pit bull with a strong black accent the world would stop and spin backwards. I don't think you'll hear too much from my Mexican cousins on this one!

(Remember Jarjar Binks from the Star wars movie and how people were inflamed about how he sounded like a stuttering Rastafarian?)

Three?

I bet the breeders are licking their chops looking for the tidal wave of parents looking for a Chihuahua for their stupid greedy kids, who will lose interest in the dog when it starts to shiat in their toybox, eats some homework or gets hurt when it runs in front of an uncoordinated elementary school kid.

Again, while I am not a fan of the smaller breeds of dogs for kids, I do think that they are great dogs for people who are a little more settled in their lives.

I really hate to see any animals exploited in movies or TV and see that this will be another short run on small dogs because of the media.

I just hope they don't get the treatment that the Taco Bell pooches got!

I am hoping the movie will simply fail, and few people will see it. It just sounds dumb on so many levels.

[lvpets2002]

Nope the movie does not look to interesting to me.. Have you noticed they time these movies to be in the gaining season of pups just born & or around a holiday.. And your right then the wrong familys get the pups for the kids & here we go again..

[smokey the elder]

Ugh, encouraging backyard breeders of Chihuahuas.

For the record, I thought it looked kind of cute and pretty funny. But then again, I'm a 15 immature teenager, I'll admit.

And for another record, Disney has a history of making pretty lousy movies sometimes. It can go one way or the other with Disney. They can make great movies like POTC and then ruin it with the sequel or in this case the trilogy or the movie just sucks period like High School Musical. I LOVE Disney and all but sometimes they just can't see the stupidity. Of course they make money anyway.

[lvpets2002]

Your very true there Alysser.. But as you will learn in time Stupidity can always show the face of the Dollar..

Well, I'm a long way from 15, but I thought it was cute too. I only saw
the preview of the film & not the whole thing. I liked the song about the
history of the Chihuahua.

I am a few years older than 15 and I thought it looked cute

I hate when these types of movies come out... Only bad can come of it!

Two things I know are:

1. NOONE gets my Joey pup, and he does not even speak Mexican (good or bad!)

2. It really is not all the breeders fault.. If people are stupid enough to pay thousands of dollars for a chi, from a BYB, after watching a fake dog speaking movie, they should be ashamed.


Their are HUNDREDS of Chis in shelters every day.... More to come I am positive!

Actually it's a real dog they just animated it's mouth.

I caught the commercials selling the movie "BOLT" on Blue Ray Disc!


IT's a cartoon so I get the premise of the sales right away.- THey show a dog that shows up at the front door of a home, the dog fold shis ears back and puts on a sad look so the owners of the home go, "AWWWWWW!!!"

Then a cat shows up at the same door and the people yells something like, "UGH, A cat!" then throw a frying pan at the poor thing...

I know it is a kiddie cartoon, but why do they have to be so obvious and put a stupid scene like that in a movie.

Cats are the most trusting of animals and I can see when a cat could be taunted, hurt or tortured after some idiot kids watch a movie like that.

Richard - we saw the Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie - got the DVD for a dollar - and I think you would actually LIKE it! It has a great pro-adoption message, and features several other breeds than Chihuahuas as well. It is not at all what the previews would have you believe, and does not promote "fashion accessory" dogs in the least!

^^^^^ This

the previews and promoting for this movie were horrible I think and do NOT do the movie justice at all. the movie actually has a very good premise and like karen said it's not at all about the high stepping lifestyle of the fashion accessory dogs. maybe for the first few minutes of the movie but after that the movie actually has a point and is really pretty good.

On another note... I'm not at all for blaming movie makers for putting animals in their movies or making cute movies about animals just because people are stupid and think that if it's in a movie they should own it.

Then what happens to my Grumpy Old SOB persona?

Tell you what......I'll give it a chance when I see it around, fair enough?
