| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Bluth's colorful animation is only saving grace of this downbeat musical cartoon about an orphan ``adopted'' by an unlovable mutt (Reynolds) who has returned from heaven to do a good deed. Misguided film has some good moments (a musical sequence with a Cajun alligator), but hurt by unappealing characters, confused storytelling, and forgettable songs. Followed by a sequel and an animated TV series.
