Rodney Dangerfield, Harold Ramis & Warner Bros animation that belies the classic Bugs Bunny years creates a rare cartoon that may be only for fans of this classic styled cartoons and Dangerfield but it delivers. The only drawback is that this was supposed to be an adult film (R-Rating) but was limited by WB studios to stay within the G-Rating and doesn't get the chance to go all-in for the type of adult-themed Dangerfield humor. But even with these limitations you get the song "I'll Never Do it (urinate) on a Christmas Tree" that highlights the musical numbers.
A rare gem that provides viewers with one of the last WB cartoons that is reminiscent of the golden age (pre-digital graphics) that also highlights Rodney's routines that fit perfectly in a stray dog who struggles to find...RESPECT for himself. Look for Aretha's song playing in the background in the first 20 minutes, while also playing classic Daffy Duck (Mel Blanc) in the background earlier on to provide a nod to the masters. Even Seth MacFarlane gave a nod to this film on Family Guy (S16, E15) where we see Rover Dangerfield in one of the dog cages. At least Seth was watching!
A wonderful effort from a lost age of cartoons.
