Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 To Movie Goers Who May Be in the Know: Just got word from my sister that the movie THE SHAGGY DOG has an AR story line. Am wondering if any advocates for animals have seen it and what their opinions are. I heard that there were various animals in the movie, including a chimpanzee, a monkey, pehaps rabbits, and a dog or two. Am especially concerned about (ab)use of chimpanzee, because I understand that in the past chimpanzees have been beaten to coerce them to act accordingly for the cameras. Anyhow, if anybody has anymore info on this movie or an opinion about it, please share. Bob Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2¢/min or less.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 i saw the movie. i hope there was no animal abuse involved in the making of the movie, but i am not sure either way. as far as the the movie goes, however: the daughter of the lawyer in the movie plays the part of an AR concious person. there's no indication as to whether or not she is also veg*n. the other characters in the movie did eat meat. as far as the storyline goes, it really does seem to be anti-animal-experimentation oriented. there's a happy ending for the girl, and the lawyer (lead role) has a sort of transformational revelation about animals, since, in the movie, he is able to communicate with them. so, overall, the movie comes across as being anti-animal-experimentation in its message. if there was any animal abuse in the making of the film, it would be an obvious act of hypocrasy. personally, i think it's a step forward for the public image of AR. remember, little kids are the primary target audience of this disney movie. the potentiality for animal abuse in the making of movies is why i tend to prefer movies about animals that employ animation, as opposed to real live animals. willVigil for Animals <vigilforanimals wrote: To Movie Goers Who May Be in the Know: Just got word from my sister that the movie THE SHAGGY DOG has an AR story line.
