andrey j The Plague Dogs ou Os Cães da Peste, é uma animação corajosa que explora temas como ética e moralidade, libertação e busca por liberdade, impacto psicológico da opressão e relação entre humanos e animais. Esses temas são abordados de maneira desconfortante ao longo do filme, contribuindo para a profundidade emocional e reflexiva sobre os assuntos mencionados e sobre a própria animação. Ao sair do padrão das animações contemporâneas, o filme aborda um tema tenso e negligenciado, explorando experiências traumáticas e crueldade de forma impactante. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Peter Action movie about two dogs escaping from an animal-research laboratory. This, together with the great music, and animation tell an amazing story. Probably unintentionally, it also reveals part of the cruel practices taking place in such laboratories ... and the sad fate of the forgotten animals. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Audience Member To be honest, this movie is a slap in the face to the actual novel. While it keeps its themes of being against animal testing and dislike of bureaucracy at a surface level, literally everything that made the novel great has been hacked out. While the animation looks great, the pacing is choppy, moving from scene to scene at a rapid pace, sometimes less than 10 seconds. There is no character development and only the most minute aspects of a backstory. There are plot points that don't make any sense and elements that are entirely changed without reason. So much of it ends up being scenes of the dogs wandering the fell as there are voiceovers of men acting largely as exposition narrators. The ending is absolutely butchered. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review o o it was a really good insightful view into actual cruelty, it is very harsh on the eyes and the mind since us humans find it so difficult to confront the truth of our world, it is very raw information about real life issues. This movie generally hits you like a ton of bricks specially because of the way it's presented through the dog's perspective, everyone loves dogs. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/22 Full Review william k Similar to his previous Watership Down, Martin Rosen's animated adaptation of another Richard Adams novel is really not suitable for young audience as it depicts the harrowing fates of two escaped laboratory dogs and their nearly hopeless fight against the gruesomeness that humans afflict to them. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Matthew D A harrowing adaptation of Richard Adams brilliant novel. It doesn't have much of the humor from the book, but it retains the intensity and carries the same important message. Add fantasic animation, great vocie acting and a perfect score and you have a worthy adaptation. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/21 Full Review Read all reviews
