Jacob B @RT89309114 05/06/2023 A mostly harmless comedy that is really damn cheesy with over-the-top acting and a premise that would've worked better as a half-hour cartoon but struggles to find ways to work as a 90-minute-long live-action film. Not to mention a bizarre choice where we hear some bully dog's thoughts despite having no real reason to exist and I'm pretty sure the target audience would figure out by themselves what's happening I these scenes. Probably because this was produced by the same company that brought Scooby-Doo to the world, IDK. The dogs are cute, though. Also, the animated opening credits are the best part of this film, I laughed a few times and they do an okay job with some of the effects and animal training to bring the titular robot dog to life. Would've been decent as a short but as a movie, the premise wears thin. The lack of any major conflict doesn't help. Why Hanna-Barbera thought this would work as a live-action film - their only theatrically released live-action film not based off of any of their IPs - is anybody's guess.

Not only does the film feature a campy disco score, goofy looking robotics, you also get Valerie Bertinelli and Conrad "Different Strokes" Bain. There's also Red Buttons & Chuck McCann as the villains and small parts for Larry Bishop and Jim Backus. This film was apparently the first of what was a planned multi-picture deal between Hanna-Barbera and American International Pictures, but after the film flopped, there were no other made, which is too bad because this film had an enjoyably goofy vibe that reminded me a lot of Disney live-action pictures around this time, like "Candleshoe" or "The North Avenue Irregulars."

See more 10/27/2012 This made me miss Benji. With burglary reaching epidemic levels, a security company invents a robotic dog to revolutionize home security. Awful sound effects and Red Buttons' repeated slapstick routine as a bungling burglar generates zero laughs. See more 05/22/2012 CHOMPS seems to have borrowed many elements from other popular films and television from the late 1970s, like live action Disney films about animals, and the television series, The Six Million Dollar Man.
