A cartoon adventure from Don Bluth, a key figure at Disney during the 1970s (he worked on such films as Robin Hood, The Rescuers and The Fox and the Hound), who felt that the studio was straying away from the classic animation of its golden era. He left, formed his own studio and made the feature-length animated film The Secret of NIMH, which so impressed Steven Spielberg that the two later collaborated on An American Tail and The Land Before Time. Bluth then set up his own animation studios in Ireland to come up with All Dogs Go To Heaven. It's an enjoyable enough romp - the storyline's a bit rambling and complicated, and the level of sentimentality is quite high - but there are some vivid sequences and engaging vocal characterisations.
