I’m usually very up on the kids movies that are coming out because I love to review movies in this online space for parents, but the past few weeks have been mind-bendingly busy for my family, and I completely missed that a new kids movie called Show Dogs came out this weekend. The premise looks cute, so I’m glad I missed it: at any other time I probably would have seen an online trailer and just taken my seven-year-old with me to see the Show Dogs Movie when I watched it for my review.
Absolutely will NOT be seeing it or showing it to any family.
Thanks for the heads-up!
I was horrified!
“...The usual hilarity ensues with dog farts, bites on the rear-end, and slap-stick bonks to the head which elicit giggles from the audience...”
So before she thinks the movie goes bad I’m already objecting. Farts should not be a part of kid movies. Sure it gets cheap laughs but parents should push a more genteel behavior. Blazing Saddle scenes were shocking but now are part of most stupid kiddie movies and its wrong.
Which studio produced the film, and who is distributing it?
Personally I find the entire film as a concept offensive. When I was that age, I was watching Conan the Barbarian, RoboCop, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard, etc etc etc. I don’t think I ever saw any Disney movies at all. I’m perfectly serious. I honestly credit it for making me right wing from a very early age, since all my heroes were hyper-masculine and taking the law into their own hands.
None of this learning to trust people to grope your genitals.
Holy hell.
I’ve been groomed for real and I think this is atrocious. I have a big mouth and I will spread this around to other parents of small kids. Our family will not be supporting such a sick theme. What were they THINKING, this year of all years? This movie should be shut down if it really shows submitting to having your privates touched is ok if it’s for a “bigger cause” like not getting your parents killed or disappointing them, two themes a pedo will tell the kid.
Farts are awesome. I bring a beef bone to my brother’s house when I visit for his dog.
Because dog farts are so much funnier.
Jeez. Where’d you grow up where a fart ain’t funny? You an Afghanistan refugee or something?
Thanks for sharing this. I am disappointed that my go-to movie review site (Plugged In) did not factor this into the number of stars they gave the film.
It does not matter what redeeming qualities a film has if it is completely contaminated by something so despicable.

I thought I should dig into that:
Show Dogs
Production
Riverstone Pictures
“Riverstone Pictures is a London and Los Angeles-based film company” part of Reliance Entertainment in turn part of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Ventures Limited) - an Indian conglomerate - (so I guess a sort of Bollywood/Hollywood/Pinewood cross-over)
Producers
Deepak Nayar
Philip von Alvenslebe
Writer
Max Botkin
Director
Raja Gosnell
“The production was supported by business finance from the Welsh Government as well as the [Welsh Government’s] Media Investment Budget”
So I suppose an assortment of the usual suspects? No surprise. The little nugget at the end of the list was what got to me - this stuff (and an Indian conglomerate) is being subsidised by the British Government!!!

They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.
The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.
Pulp fiction made you conservative?
When my daughter was three, her favorite show was Law & Order. Being responsible parents, we figured murder and mayhem were more appropriate than the crap on kiddie TV.
Nothing i have seen since then has dissuaded me from that position.
This is sick stuff.
While I may not agree with your contention that this is an intentional conspiracy, I will say that adults who have suffered abuse often inflict that same abuse on children, and the cycle is perpetuated.
Training to resist abusing children should be an integral part of the treatment of anybody who has suffered child abuse. There is a tendency to say that they are purely victims. But society should recognize that the next generation of abusers will come from their ranks, and intervene early to prevent this from happening.
It is not fair. It is another layer of suffering laid upon those who did not deserve any of it. But if we are to ever break the cycle, the cycle must be broken.
Oh, and not importing abusers from abroad is probably a good idea, too...
“Farts are awesome.”
I sent my brother a whoopie cushion for his birthday.
Not in isolation. But then I liked Butch’s character a lot, since I’ve always liked Bruce Willis. Also the whole bit with what’s his name getting religion after the guy unloads on him, taking the miracle seriously and turning his life around (to become a “righteous” bad *** who wanders around getting into adventures?) with Vincent Vega ignoring the “miracle” and getting killed by Butch. I always thought that was a moral lesson lol.
Lighten up Francis. Kids made fart jokes long before movies.
“I don’t think I ever saw any Disney movies at all.”
I didn’t see ANY movies at all. Per Dad, Hollywood and the movie industry were straight from the depths of Hell. The first movie I saw was, “Lovers And Other Strangers”, at around 23 years old. Still never have seen a Disney movie.
