I never even thought that something like this would come about. In fact, it breaks the record for most unexpected sequel to a forgettable film in history. Nearly 10 years (!) after the first movie, we suddenly get this sequel no one was truly awaiting. The first movie was released in 2001 months before the 9/11 attacks. It was only average, but after 2003, people decided to forget about it. Now we never saw a sequel coming, but why did we want it? Who thought people wanted a sequel to this when people wanted a sequel to Tron, called Tron: Legacy? Since this film, I think, was filmed in 2D, they put it in the post production 3D process, probably taking at least a year or 10 months to do it, and when you see it, it's not going to be as good as a movie shot in 3D, film or digital. There are also dark scenes as well, and that means the dimming of the glasses will make the picture even darker, muddier, or maybe blurrier. No one really and truly wanted this, so why make it? Most of the kids that saw the first in theaters are now grown and are in either high school or college. Fire back with doggie doo or cat piss, either one.

Yeah, when I heard about this, I was like "WTF"? Confused Tron at least has a cult following (and inexplicable cult following, but still), but NO ONE remembers the original Cats & Dogs. It's be like doing a sequel to Osmosis Jones or something.

Yeah, this...this is one of the most unnecessary, unwanted sequels I've ever heard of. Anyway, congrats to them for naming a kids' movie after a Bond double-entendre about vaginas. Wonder if they know?

The first one was bleh bleh bleh. Worst part is that it was part of a 'talking animal' movie craze that made some turd assbucket movies. Good Boy, Dr. Dolittle movies, Air Buddies, etc. Fuck we even have it today with stuff like Beverly Hills Spoiledfuckrats and Marmaduke. Blame those movies for making a Cats and Dogs movie 'topical again'.


There is a hell for people that make child movie swill like this that tortures undeserving parents. They should all take notes from Pixar and even Dreamworks for the most part.

About the only interesting thing about this sequel is that WB has made a new (3D and CGI) Roadrunner short to run before it:

Okay, I think the clip looks a bit odd, but still it's interesting to see them try.

I believe you were probably the only one who willingly saw Marmaduke. Last I heard it didn't do very well at the box office.

Wait. That was actually released? I must have missed it.

I guess my dreams of an Andy Capp movie are dashed.

Nah, Andy Capp's still on; it got picked up as a Mel Gibson vehicle.

I saw a trailer for this in 3D. The conversion looks... okay. Not impressive, but not unnoticeable.

Still, it begs the question of why they'd bother. Aside from the obvious problem of how poor conversion looks, it's added expense to a cheap cash-in. I can't see anybody at Warner Brothers thinking this is going to be a big enough hit that 3D will help recoup their costs.

Additionally, for some really good laughs (or depression, depending on your sympathy), look at the cast of the movie. It couldn't be more obvious that either their first choices rejected it, along with every choice until their twentieth, or that they had no hope of even getting any big name stars. I mean, Chris O'Donnell is in this. Need I say more?

There was a TV version of Andy Capp in the late 1980s. It didn't really work even with James Bolam in the lead role.

I mean, I think the only people I really recognize in this cast is Neil Patrick Harris and Chris O'Donnell.
I'm just happy my sisters know blissfully nothing of this film or I'd likely be dragged along by arm and leg to the theater, popped in the seat ala Clockwork Orange and forced to sit through this dreck. I saw the first one as a kid and honestly I remember nothing of it except there being an evil white cat as an evil villain.
(and I believe this film is actually the third sequel. I remember a second one was floating around a few years earlier but somehow managed to push all memory of that out of my mind until THIS ONE came up.)
Has anyone seen the previews for the film at the Royal Theaters, the one where they have clips of interviews with the director and some of the principle actors? The director....either he's one hell of an actor or he thinks this film's an Oscar winner, it was almost sad to see how he looked as if he believed this film was the Citizen Kane of its time.

Oh, Chris O'Donnel is in this movie. At least the poor guy is getting work, Batman and Robin murdered a fledgling career.

Anyway. I think at this point it's evident that you can seriously get any movie made, period. Because this movie is a sequel to a not particularly well remembered, mildly successful kidflick from like eight years ago.

However, please understand that I am not saddened by this turn of events. Because it means I can now almost certainly sell my "Alan Moore vs. Grant Morrison" screenplay to a major studio and actually cast Jason Statham and Brian Blessed in it. Shut up, a man can dream.

And it also gives me a little hope that the completley wacked out Pokemon movie script I wrote in middle school when likely under the influence of some type of caffine or other substance :p has a chance of getting made. Hey, who says no one's willing to make a toon about gun toting, cursing pokemon? (seriously, it really was just like how I described...)
