***All Dogs Go to Heaven*** is a 1989 animated musical fantasy adventure comedy-drama film directed by Don Bluth and co-directed by Gary Goldman (his directorial debut) and Dan Kuenster. It tells the story of Charlie B. Barkin (voiced by Burt Reynolds), a German Shepherd that is murdered by his former friend, Carface Carruthers (voiced by Vic Tayback, in his penultimate film role), but withdraws from his place in Heaven to return to Earth, where his best friend, Itchy Itchiford (voiced by Dom DeLuise), still lives, in order to take revenge on Carface, but ends up befriending a young orphan girl named Anne-Marie (voiced by Judith Barsi in her final film role; posthumously). In the process, Charlie learns an important lesson about kindness, friendship and love.

The film is an Irish, British and American venture, produced by Goldcrest Films and Sullivan Bluth Studios Ireland Ltd. On its cinema release, it competed directly with Walt Disney Feature Animation's *The Little Mermaid*, released on the same day. While it did not repeat the box-office success of Sullivan Bluth's previous feature films, *An American Tail* and *The Land Before Time*, it was successful on home video, becoming one of the biggest-selling VHS releases ever. It inspired a theatrical sequel, a television series, and a holiday direct-to-video film.

*All Dogs Go to Heaven* was released on DVD on November 17, 1998, and as an MGM Kids edition on March 6, 2001. It had a DVD double-feature release with its sequel on March 14, 2006, and January 18, 2011. The film was released in high definition for the first time on Blu-ray on March 29, 2011, without special features except the original theatrical trailer.

## Plot

In 1939, Charlie Barkin and his assistant Itchy Itchiford are breaking out of a heavily secured dog pound, but in the process bust a water main and are discovered. The two barely escape while being shot at. Later, they make a grand entrance at Carface's casino operated in an old, idle oil tanker in a bayou. Apparently, Carface, unwilling to share the earnings, had been responsible for Charlie and Itchy getting committed at the pound. With everyone surprised at their arrival, Charlie and Itchy sing "You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down" for their confidence. After the song, Itchy is separated from Charlie via a slide trapdoor. Unaware of Carface's malicious intent, Charlie returns to him expecting open arms, but Carface wants to sever ties with him, claiming that authorities searching for Charlie will discover the operation. To get Charlie out of the picture for good, Carface and his partner Killer (Charles Nelson Reilly) arrange his death. Itchy discovers this plot and attempts to warn Charlie. Carface takes Charlie to Mardi Gras in New Orleans to celebrate Charlie going into his own business. At the party, he gives Charlie a "lucky" gold watch. The drunk Charlie is then taken to the docks, while Itchy searches for him. Carface starts a car at the end of the docks, which then rolls down and run over at Charlie.

Having long, Charlie goes to Heaven by default, despite not doing a single good deed in the duration of his life; with the lovely angelic Whippet, Annabelle (Melba Moore) explaining that "Unlike people, dogs are naturally good and loyal and kind". However, Charlie is upset and dissatisfied, having to die before his time, and distracts Annabelle, as he takes back his "life watch" while singing "Let Me Be Surprised." With the watch in hand, Charlie winds it back up, allowing him to return to Earth, and back to life. On Earth, Charlie visits Itchy at his home. Itchy is scared, believing Charlie is a ghost, but Charlie convinces him otherwise. The two then go searching for the secret to Carface's success. They crawl through the vents and discover an orphan girl named Anne-Marie, living in the basement. This orphan has the incredible ability to talk to animals, which Carface has been using to find out who will win in future rat races. Charlie decides to use this to his advantage and kidnaps her, taking her back to Itchy's house. Upon discovering this, and outraged Carface commands Killer to find her.

The next day, the trio heads to the horse track. With some difficulty, Charlie convinces Anne-Marie to talk to one of the horses, saying that any money they earn will go to the poor. Bell Boy's horse says that it is The Grand Chawhee's birthday, and that he will win. The group is then seen outside, looking for a way to get money to bet with. They find a couple, and Charlie tells Itchy to do "the number three." Itchy is then seen acting as though he is injured, in order to distract the couple while Charlie takes the man's wallet. After obtaining the wallet, the three leave to make the bet.

In the next scene, the three are seen stacked up under a pink overcoat. They make their bet and go to their seats. When the race starts, Chawhee is seen exiting his starting pen backward. However, the other horses allow him to win (much to Bell Boy's dismay). Charlie, Itchy, and Anne-Marie collect their earnings and are seen winning bets on numerous other races. However, Anne-Marie is unhappy, and the trio goes out and buys her pretty new clothes. Itchy then builds a casino, which the two run successfully. Charlie then spots Anne-Marie attempting to leave, unhappy because none of the money has gone to helping the poor, or to finding Anne-Marie new parents, both of which were promised by Charlie. In order to stop her, Charlie decides to go "help the poor."

Meanwhile, Carface is about to lower Killer into a pit of pirahnnas because of the failure to kill Charlie. While he is being lowered, he asks Carface to spare him, saying he has a gun. Carface pulls him up and asks what type of gun it is, to which Killer replies "a Flash-Gordon Thermo-Atomic Ray Gun." Carface appears to be pleased before the scene cuts to Charlie and Anne-Marie bringing pizza to a group of homeless puppies in a church. The puppies are happy to see Charlie and swarm the pizzas while Charlie introduces them to Anne-Marie. The group then starts fighting over the last slice, which prompts Charlie to tell them about sharing, and he starts singing "What's Mine Is Yours." However, after the song, Charlie places a cake on the floor. The puppies then proceed to fight once again. While the dogs fight, Anne-Marie discovers a wallet on the floor, which belonged to the couple at the races. Anne-Marie gets upset with Charlie and accuses him of stealing the wallet and heads up the stairs into the attic. She then sings "Soon You'll Come Home."

After Anne-Marie’s song ended, the next scene is of Charlie, who is asleep. The watch then reopens, and Annabelle's voice comes out, saying that he can never come back. The scene is then launched into Charlie's dream, in which he is sucked down into Hell. He lands on a ship in the lava with a skeletal dragon. Suddenly, a Hellhound appears. The creature breathes fire onto the ship, from which small demons appear and attack Charlie. The ship starts to sink into the lava Dragon like giraffe's voice, saying you can never come back. and Charlie climbs the front of the ship. He then wakes up to find himself on an upright broom between two shelves, with puppies on the shelves trying to wake him. Charlie falls over, and begins to look for Anne-Marie. She is not there, and Charlie asks the puppies where she went. One of the puppies tells him that she went to 402 Maple Street, where the Warlop family, the couple from the races, lives. Charlie then leaves and the next scene displays Anne-Marie eating waffles with the couple. They also forgive Charlie for taking their wallet. Anne-Marie tells the couple that she lives with Charlie, and that she has no parents. The couple exits the room to talk about her. While they are talking, Charlie shows up and convinces Anne-Marie to leave with him. The two then pass through the market on their way home. Carface and Killer are also there with the ray gun. The two shoot Charlie several times, but he survives, due to as long as he’s wearing the life watch, he’s immortal. As he and Anne-Marie run away, a confused Killer starts to fire in random directions while the dog he and Carface are riding runs off.

Charlie and Anne-Marie are then seen hiding in an abandoned building. The two fall through the floor, and Charlie loses his watch. In the flooded area beneath, he tries to find it. He sees it, but it starts floating away. Charlie and Anne-Marie are then picked up and moved in the same direction by an unseen force. They are then seen in cages being carried by rats. Charlie asks Anne-Marie to talk to them, but she cannot understand them. Charlie attempts to grab his watch, but loses it again when he is dropped onto an island with Anne-Marie. A moving object in the water circles the island before coming ashore, revealing it to be a giant alligator named King Gator. The alligator places Charlie in its mouth, despite Anne-Marie’s plea to not eat Charlie, and he howls. King Gator decides not to eat Charlie because to him, it sounds like Charlie, ande singing, during which Charlie recovers the watch. and begins to sing "Let's Make Music Together" with him, the less water sickening Anne-Marie. After the song, Charlie picks up Anne-Marie, who has caught pneumonia, and the two ride King Gator back into New Orleans.

Back at Charlie's Casino, Itchy is closing up, while Carface sneaks up on him and asks where Anne-Marie is. Itchy does not know, and Carface attacks him. At the church, Charlie is talking to the puppies' caretaker Flo about Anne-Marie when Itchy limps in, presumably beaten up by Carface’s thugs. He tells Charlie what happened, and shows him the burning casino, suggesting the two leave Anne-Marie behind and go someplace else. Charlie tells him that they need to start over, and need her more than ever. Itchy accuses Charlie of being in love with her, and says he has gone soft. Charlie angrily replies, saying that he doesn't care about her, that he is just using her, and when they are done with her, they'll put her in an orphanage. Unbeknownst to them, Itchy notices Anne-Marie, who was overhearing their conversation. Heartbroken and betrayed, she tells Charlie that he is a bad dog, and runs away, crying. Charlie runs after her, and stops at the entrance, where she has left her stuffed rabbit. He hears her scream, knowing that Carface has captured her, and runs after her. Itchy reaches the entrance, and Flo tells him to take the stuffed rabbit to 402 Maple Street. Itchy goes into town and asks other dogs where it is. These dogs tell him and spread the word to others. Itchy and many other dogs reach the house and give the stuffed rabbit to the couple, alerting them that Anne-Marie is in danger.

Charlie reaches Carface's casino and attempts to rescue Anne-Marie, but Carface is expecting him and has his boys attack. Charlie is captured and tied to an anchor. While this is happening, a dog bites Charlie's foot, and he howls, summoning King Gator (who he and Anne-Marie met earlier). When Charlie is lowered, King Gator sets him free. While this is happening, Itchy is bringing a large group of dogs to the site. The alligator's attacks knock Anne-Marie's cage into the water and Charlie sets aside his watch to save her, but Carface attacks, knocking the watch away to land on a floating piece of debris. The support holding the tanker to land breaks with the ship now floating in the water and slowly sinking. The sudden motion causes barrels of oil on a rack to spill, drenching the boat' old engine which sparks and ignite the oil. King Gator strikes again, knocking Carface into the water to be eaten by King Gator, and Charlie dives in to save Anne-Marie, who falls into the water. Charlie grabs her and pulls her up, but his watch falls in. Charlie puts Anne-Marie on a piece of debris and pushes her outside through a hole in the ship, and dives in to get the watch. The watch, now at the bottom, floods and stops before Charlie reaches his watch.

As the ship was destroyed in the explosion, a large crowd has gathered and witnesses Killer pushing Anne-Marie ashore. 402 Maple Street is then shown, and inside, Anne-Marie is sleeping in a bed. Itchy limps up to the bed, jumps on top, and lies down beside her. The Hellhound from Charlie’s nightmare emerges from the ground behind the house, and a red mist surrounds the area. Part of it enters Anne-Marie's bedroom window, and Charlie emerges as a spirit. He leans on the bed and apologizes to Anne-Marie. The Hellhound calls to Charlie, but a nun and mormon choir and birde like goddess called Heaven's Light appears and destroys the Hellhound like dragon. The nun and mormon choir and birde like goddess enters through Anne-Marie's window and beckons to Charlie in Annabelle's voice, saying that he can go home. Charlie is confused, since she told him that he could never come back, but she tells him that, since he gave his life for saving Anne-Marie, he will be allowed into Heaven once again. Charlie says goodbye to Anne-Marie who, having woken up, asks him if she will ever see him again. Charlie assures her that she will, and that goodbyes are not forever. He then leaves, disappearing into a column of glowing dust. As the credits begin to roll, Charlie calls out and requests some livelier music. Carface is seen entering heaven, swearing vengeance on the alligator. He then winds his own clock, while Annabelle yells at him, saying he can never come back. As she chases him into the distance, Charlie pops out of a cloud, saying "he'll be back." He then falls back into the cloud, grabs his halo, and the credits roll.

## Production

The earliest idea for the film was conceived by Don Bluth after finishing work on *The Secret of NIMH*. The treatment was originally about a canine private eye, and one of three short stories making up an anthology film. The character of a shaggy German Shepherd was designed specifically for Burt Reynolds. However, Bluth's first studio, Don Bluth Productions, was going through a period of financial difficulty, ultimately having to declare bankruptcy, and the idea never made it beyond rough storyboards. The concept was revived by Bluth, John Pomeroy and Gary Goldman, and rewritten by David N. Weiss, collaborating with the producers from October through December 1987. They built around the title *All Dogs Go to Heaven* and drew inspiration from films, such as *It's a Wonderful Life*, *Little Miss Marker* and *A Guy Named Joe*. The film's title came from a book read to Bluth's fourth-grade class, and he resisted suggestions to change it, stating he liked how "provocative" it sounded, and how people reacted to the title alone.

During the production of their previous feature film, Sullivan Bluth Studios had moved from Van Nuys, California, to a state-of-the-art studio facility in Dublin, Ireland, and the film was their first to begin production wholly at the Irish studio. It was also their first to be funded from sources outside of Hollywood, the previous two feature films, *An American Tail* and *The Land Before Time*, had been backed by Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures, and executive producers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas (for *The Land Before Time* only) exercised a degree of control over the content of the films, a situation Bluth found disagreeable. The studio found investment from UK-based Goldcrest Films in a US$70m deal to produce three animated feature films (though only two, *Rock-a-Doodle* and it, were completed under the deal). The three founding members of the studio, Bluth, Pomeroy, and Goldman, had all moved to Ireland to set up the new facility, but during the film's production, John Pomeroy returned to the U.S. to head up a satellite studio which provided some of the animation for the film. Pomeroy also used his presence in the U.S. to generate early publicity for the film, including a presentation at the 1987 San Diego Comic-Con.

The film's lead voices, Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise, had previously appeared together in five films. For this one, they requested them to record their parts in the studio together (in American animation, actors more commonly record their parts solo). Bluth agreed and allowed Reynolds and DeLuise to ad-lib extensively; Bluth later commented, "their ad-libs were often better than the original script". However, Reynolds was more complimentary of the draft, warmly quipping, "Great script, kid", as he left the studio. Another pair of voices, those of Carface and Killer (Vic Tayback and Charles Nelson Reilly, respectively), also recorded together. Loni Anderson, who voices Flo, was Reynolds' then-wife. Child actress Judith Barsi, who voiced Ducky in Bluth's previous film *The Land Before Time*, was selected to voice Anne-Marie; she was killed in an apparent murder-suicide over a year before *All Dogs Go to Heaven* was released.

As production neared completion, the studio held test screenings and decided that some of the scenes were too intense for younger viewers. Writer and producer Pomeroy decided to shorten Charlie's nightmare about being condemned. Co-director Gary Goldman also agreed to the cut, recognizing that the concession needed to be made in the name of commercial appeal. Don Bluth owned a private 35-mm print of the movie with the cut-out scenes and planned to convince Goldcrest Films on releasing a director's cut of the film after returning from Ireland in the mid-1990s, but the print was eventually stolen from Bluth's locked storage room, diminishing hopes of this version being released on home media.

## Reception

### Critical response

*All Dogs Go to Heaven* received mostly mixed reviews from critics, maintaining a 44% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 17 reviews, and a 50 out of 100 score from Metacritic. Reviewers often drew unfavorable comparisons to *The Little Mermaid*, criticizing the disjointed narrative, the quality of the animation, and the songs by Charlie Strouse and T.J. Kuenster. The film received a "thumbs down" from Gene Siskel and a "thumbs up" from Roger Ebert on a 1989 episode of their television program *At the Movies*. While Siskel found it to be "surprisingly weak" given director Don Bluth's previous works, due largely to its "confusing story" and "needlessly violent" scenes, Ebert was a huge fan of the movie's "rubbery and kind of flexible" animation, stating he felt it was a good film despite not being an "animated classic".

Some also found the darker subject material objectionable in a family film, given the film's depictions of death, violence, theft, drinking, smoking, gambling, murder, demons, and images of Hell. Other reviews were mostly positive, with critics praising the film's emotional qualities, humor, and vibrant color palette. Roger Ebert, who was unimpressed with Bluth's previous film *An American Tail*, gave it three out of four stars, remarking that the animation "permits such a voluptuous use of color that the movie is an invigorating bath for the eyes," and that although he preferred *The Little Mermaid*, which opened on the same day, he still found *Dogs* to be "bright and inventive." However, film critic Leonard Maltin gave it one-and-a-half out of four stars, due to "unappealing characters, confusing storytelling, and forgettable songs." Common Sense Media is concerned about the depictions of illegal drug usage and excessive thematic elements plotting in a family oriented movie.

### Box office

Dissatisfied with the terms imposed by Universal Pictures, which had distributed their previous two films, the studio found an alternative distributor in United Artists. Somewhat unusually, production investors Goldcrest Films covered the cost of the release prints and the promotional campaign, in return for a greatly reduced distribution fee from UA. This was similar to the arrangement with United Artists when they distributed Bluth's first feature film, *The Secret of NIMH*. Goldcrest Films invested $15 million in printing and promoting the film. Due to contractual issues, very little tie-in merchandise accompanied the film's theatrical release; a computer game adaptation for the Commodore Amiga system (with a free software package) was released, and restaurant chain Wendy's offered toys with their Kids' Meals or regular fries.

The film opened in North America on November 17, 1989, which was the same day as Disney's 28th full-length animated motion picture *The Little Mermaid*; once again, Sullivan Bluth Studios' latest feature would be vying for box-office receipts with Disney's, just as their last two films (*An American Tail* and *The Land Before Time*) had. On its theatrical release, while still making its budget of $13.8 million back, the film's performance fell short of Sullivan Bluth Studios' previous box-office successes, grossing $27 million in North America alone, just over half of what *An American Tail* and *The Land Before Time* each took.

## Awards and honors

*All Dogs Go to Heaven* received a nomination for "Best Family Motion Picture: Adventure or Cartoon" at the 11th annual Youth in Film Awards ceremony, being beaten by Disney's *The Little Mermaid*. The home video release received an Award of Excellence from the Film Advisory Board.

## Home media

*All Dogs Go to Heaven* was released on VHS, S-VHS, 8mm video and LaserDisc in both regular and special CAV standard play editions by MGM/UA Home Video on August 28, 1990. The film became a sleeper hit due to its home video release; a strong promotional campaign helped it become one of the top-selling VHS releases of all time, selling over 3 million copies in its first month.

A DVD version was made available for the first time on March 6, 2001, under the MGM Kids label and was later released as a double feature with *All Dogs Go to Heaven 2* on March 14, 2006. On March 29, 2011, the film made its debut on Blu-ray, which was later included as a bundle with its sequel on October 7, 2014, along with a re-release of the compilation on DVD. The Blu-ray version was also packaged with another Don Bluth film, *The Pebble and the Penguin*, on October 8, 2013, and again with eight other MGM films as part of the company's 90th anniversary "Best of Family Collection" on February 4, 2014.

## Sequel, TV series and Christmas special

The success of the film, particularly its performance on home video, prompted several follow-up productions. A theatrical sequel, *All Dogs Go to Heaven 2* (1996), a television series, *All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series* (1996-1998) and *An All Dogs Christmas Carol* (1998), a Christmas television movie based on Charles Dickens' *A Christmas Carol*, were made. Don Bluth and his studio had no involvement with any of them, and Burt Reynolds did not reprise his role as Charlie after the first film; he was replaced in the sequel film and television series by Charlie Sheen and Steven Weber, respectively. Charles Nelson Reilly declined to return for the sequel film, but voiced Killer for the television productions. Dom DeLuise played Itchy through the entire franchise.

**Charlie:** Aah! No! Don't! Don't! Put that out. (*Itchy turns off the flamethrower off as the screen; fades to black*) What, are you trying to kill me?

**Itchy:** (*voice-over before it fades to It Itchy holding up the jackhammer*) I'm so sorry, Charlie, but the pipe-- Here, let me try this.

**Charlie:** Carefully, Itchy. I think that might be a water main.

**Itchy:** No, Charlie. Water mains are green. This is red.

**Charlie:** You're colour-blind. You've always been colour-blind.

**Itchy:** That's true, but this is green.

**Charlie:** It's red.

**Itchy:** Red?

(*He starts drilling through the pipe before the water explodes out of the main, causing a huge fountain of water spreading all over the dog pound*)

**Man 1:** (*voice-over*) Busted water main!

**Man 2:** (*voice-over*) Hit the lights!

**Man 3:** (*voice-over*) Call command central!

(*Underground, everything is shaking and the title wave of water comes down towards Charlie and Itchy*)

**Itchy:** Ooh! Look out!

(*The two run from the title wave before the camera then cuts back to the pound where searchlights randomly moves around to investigate*)

**Man 1:** (*voice-over*) Shine the light over there! No, over there!

(*The camera cuts to Charlie and Itchy struggles to get out of the hole before a light spots them*)

**Charlie:** Aah! Itchy!

**Itchy:** Oh, whoa! Whoa!

(*Gunshot. Frantically, the two dogs pops out from the hole and hides under a truck*)

**Charlie:** Let's get out of here!

**Itchy:** Sorry, Charlie. I think--

**Charlie:** Don't think! From now on, I'll think!

**Itchy:** Okay, you think about-- (*gunshot at Itchy's tools*) Whoa! MY STUFF!

**Charlie:** Forget the stuff! I'll buy you more stuff!

**Itchy:** Wait! I'll drill!

(*But the gunshot blasts Itchy's jackhammer*)

**Charlie:** Oh, come on! Ooh! (*Itchy climbs under and hangs on to Charlie as he runs before Itchy looses his grip and falls down itching in a panic*) Not now! (x2) Not-- (*Charlie launches and grabs Itchy after dodging a gunshot*) Not now! (*he pushes Itchy for a slid before hitting a gate with tunnel underneath*)

**Itchy:** (*still scratching himself*) I can't help it, Charlie. I itch when I'm nervous!

**Charlie:** Well, don't be nervous.

**Itchy:** Just scratch this.

(*The two dog ducks as a gunshot blasts through the gate*)

**Charlie:** It's not worth it being with you! (*the duo crawls under the fance through the tunnel*) Pull this! Pull this! Ah, pull this.

**Itchy:** Yah! Whoa! Just a minute! (*finally the two climbs out to escape the pound*) Are you okay?

**Charlie:** Come on! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! Aah!

(*Afterwards, the two dogs are finally free as they run away from the pound while dodging gunshots. After Charlie and Itchy runs away from sight, a title logo "All Dogs and Animals Go To Heaven" appears on the screen before a halo drops above the "H"*)

**Itchy:** (*voice-over; to Charlie*) You're such a grouch!

(*Then a halo drops on the logo*)

### Scene 2

It's Rat-Eat-Rat out there, And they're just not gonna let him through. But what's this? Squad Car's coming through the middle. (*Squad Car runs between those two big rats, as they then come close together to stop him*) Oh! He's caught in a pinch! Oh, my gosh! (*Squad Car escapes from the pinch and went for a ride*) But now he's climbing out, And he's riding on top of cheezewhiz! (*the rats runs over the loop like a rollercoaster*) And into the Loop-The-Loop, it's squad car on cheezewhiz Bringing up the rear as they enter the oil slick.

**Dog:** (*drops a broken dog collar on a desk*) Large Mike to win!

**Casino Bet Taker:** (*gives the collar back*) No markers. Come back when you got some food.

(*A mouse plays "Charge" on his horn for a start of another round for the rat race. And gunshot before the rats are released to race*)

**Dog Caster:** And they're off! It's a Rat-Eat-Rat world out there, as Large Mike takes the lead--

(*As Large Mike bucks other race rats one by one, a loud howling noise is heard, catching all the animals and monsters and aliens and dinosaurs and clown monster beasts and jaw monsters and martians and beasts and dragons and sea monsters and creatures and demons and croodaceous creatures and hybrids and alebrijes attention and gasp, even a dog accidentally drops his cup of beer to the race track cause Large Mike to run inside and slide on for a ride and bumps a gate before a camera cuts to the view inside the cup to see Charlie and Itchy appears for their return*)

**Charlie:** Hi, guys! What do you know? What do you say?

**Itchy:** What do you say? What do you know?

**Charlie:** (*laughs*) Itchy, do we detect a look of surprise here?

**Itchy:** Maybe we should go out and come back in again.

(*Charlie and Itchy laughs*)

**Smiley:** Charlie? Ain't you supposed to be on death row?

**Charlie:** No, I ain't supposed to be on death row.

**Itchy:** I got him out.

**Bear and Cow and Dog:** Carface ain't been treatin' us too good.

**Cat and Snake and Dog:** Things are tough, but we carry on.

**Beaver and Penguin and Dog:** Could you spare a couple of food for old times' sake?

(*Musical number: "You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down" after Charlie joins playing dice and wins as two dice rolled to seven*)

**Charlie:** (*takes a bone to the slot machine*) Why settle for a couple of food and bones when you can have the whole bank? (*drops the bones through the slot and pulls a handle and wins as it shows three same pictures of steaks. The result, the net releases an pile of food on to a dice table and the animals and monsters and aliens and dinosaurs and clown monster beasts and jaw monsters and martians and beasts and dragons and sea monsters and Ccreatures and demons and croodaceous creatures and hybrids and alebrijes cheers*)

The scene cuts to the dog's point of view to see an surrealistic imagery of both Charlie and Itchy before grabbing back his glasses to put them back on to see them clearly. He screams in his shock as he fell down where he and the two cats lands and crashes a barrel of beer, which causes the beer to spill out into the glass mugs as Charlie and Itchy continues singing*)

**Thin cat:** So, who of us will tell Carface about the fact Charlie escaped from the pound.

**Fat cat:** Me not, Fee. I like living.

**Eye-glasses wearing dog:** Me too. He'll kill us when...

**Fee:** Shut up, fool.

**Angry voice-over:** GUYS!

**Eye-glasses wearing dog:** Oops. C-C-Carface.

**Fat cat:** (*scared*) He heard us.

**Fee:** Shut up, Line. Killer, rembemer me to smack you after the boss yelled at us.

**Carface:** Fee, Line, Killer... I recently heard you talking something about Charlie.

**Line:** It's him, boss. we don't get it. Mr. Caruthers, we know what you're thinking, But we don't know nothin' about this. We set him up for good.

**Killer:** Uh-huh.

**Carface:** I do not wish that I should share 50% of the business with my partner Charlie.

**Killer:** (*afraid*) It wasn't our fault, boss. We do what you ordered us. Set him up to have him in the pound.

**Line:** Why you couldn't tell him to make other casino for himself, boss? So, that way you would have all the profits.

**Fee:** Hey, boss, you want that I should go squeeze his head with the pliers?

**Carface:** No, Fee. That is no way to treat an old friend. Friends must be handled in a friendly and business-like way.

**Charlie:** (*outside from Carface's office*) Carface! Carface! Ha ha ha! Hey, Carface, you decent? Heeeeeeh!

(*Carface opens a door*)

**Carface:** Charlie! Oh, is it really you?

(*hops on a chair and turns on a radio and dance to the jazzy tune*) This place is looking okay-- A little gauche, but okay. (*grabs a candy cane*) You know, partner, I'm proud of you, But the customers ain't laughin'.

**Carface:** (*turns down the volume; laughs*) Gamblers are never happy, Charlie. You know that. (*grabs the candy cane after Charlie devours it*)

**Charlie:** Yeah, but I've been thinking.(*turns up the music*) What this place needs, besides new curtains, Is some class, culture, choreography, and some influence of the theater. Dancing girls or stage plays. What do you say?

**Carface:** (*turns down the volume*) Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, times has changed. I've changed, you've changed.

**Charlie:** (*turns up the music*) What are you talking about? I haven't changed.

**Carface:** (*turns down the music*) Of course not, Charlie, but you were in the city pound. That's not good for business.

**Charlie:** (*turns up the music*) What are you saying?

**Carface:** (*turns down the music*) You're a dog with a record.

**Charlie:** (*turns up the music*) I was framed!

**Carface:** I know. (*breaking up in tears*) You're like family to me. That's why... (*sniffs*) why...

**Charlie:** Why what?

**Voice-over:** Did it eat yet?

(*Itchy investigates to see three shadows of Fee, Line and Killer*)

**Line:** Not yet, but Fee, how come I got to feed Carface's little monster?

**Itchy:** (*to himself; gasps and whispers*) Monster?!

(*As Fee gives a push of the car and Charlie is still singing, Itchy shows up far away to the other side of the dock*)

**Itchy:** Charlie! CHARLIE!

**Charlie:** Judgment?!

**Whippet angel:** Oh, not to worry, Charlie. You'll go to Heaven. All dogs and animals go to Heaven because, unlike people, Dogs and Animals are naturally good and loyal and kind.

**Charlie:** (*in rage*) I can't believe it! I've been murdered!

**Whippet angel:** (*turning pages*) I'm having trouble finding any goodness or loyalty here, but let me see. It says here you were a gambler in most of your life.

**Charlie:** He killed me!

**Whippet angel:** I beg your pordon?

**Charlie:** (*taking off his shirt while being rose up by a small cloud*) Murdered in the prime of my life! That Carface, I'll kill him. (*he stops at the watch department, much to Charlie's bit surprise*) Hey, this must be the watch department.

**Whippet angel:** (*showing Charlie a life watch*) You might call it that. See, this watch is your life... and it's stopped.

**Charlie:** Oh, well, can't you just wind it up or something?

**Whippet angel:** And send you back? Oh, no, no, no. No one's ever allowed to go back. (*opens a book to Charlie*) Put your paw right here.

**Charlie:** What is that for?

**Whippet angel:** For our book of records. Everything about you that was or will be is right here.

**Charlie:** (*sarcastically*) Oh, isn't that wonderful? I love it here. You mean there's no surprises or anything?

**Whippet angel:** Oh, no, no, no. We know everything.

**Charlie:** (*still sarcastically*) That's just lovely. The clouds, the grass, the air.

**Whippet angel:** Heaven is a wonderful place!

**Charlie:** Yeah. No surprises, huh? (*two clouds raises up the two dogs in an air*) Say... would you like to dance? You mean if I'm waiting for an inside straight up here, I'd know in advance whether I filled it?

(*Both Charlie and the whippet angel began to dance*)

**Whippet angel:** We know how it all turns out.

**Charlie:** You must have studied dancing. You have natural rhythm, unusual for a whippet.

(*They twirl around*)

**Whippet angel:** Oh. I'm getting dizzy.

(*They stop twirling*)

**Charlie:** Everything is so lovely here-- So planned, so ordered. That's what's driving me crazy. (*All the clocks and watches floating in air in which Charlie flies off to reach the life watch, before he grabs it and attempts to set it up for his life, but of course the whippet angel snatches away from him before they both fell into a hole and sfely lands on a pile of clocks and watches, while Charlie is singing*) **♪**I need Brazil, the throb, the thrill. I've never been there, but someday I will, adventure and danger, love from a stranger. Let me be surprised. La da da da da da bo bo bo**♪** (*Charlie tries again by getting his paws at a watch. He places his old watch on a whippet angel's neck before snatching his life watch away from her, without being noticed by her*) **♪**Today there's sun, they said there'd be snow, when all's said and done, it's fun not to know. What keeps my heart humming is guessing what's coming. Let me be surprised**♪** (*the two dogs hops off the waterfall of clocks to another clouds*) **♪**Oh, ain't it great...**♪**

**Whippet angel:** (*singing*) **♪**Ain't it great?**♪**

(*They watch two shooting stars flies up to a sky one by one*)

**Charlie: ♪**When fate makes you wait?**♪**

**Whippet angel:** **♪**La la la la la la**♪**

**Charlie: ♪**The world seems mirthless, and you feel worthless, and suddenly there's a big bone on your plate**♪**

(*Charlie leaves and float in the sky as the whippet angel follows him along*)

**Whippet angel:** ♪Oh, Charlie, please remember, down there's a world of used cars and singles bars. Broken dreams and out-of-reach stars**♪**

**Charlie: ♪**But it isn't over, not for this rover. I don't like to steal**♪**

**Whippet angel:** **♪**Ah ah ah**♪**

**Charlie: ♪**But I don't buy this deal**♪**

**Whippet angel:** **♪**La la la**♪**

**Charlie: ♪**In 'bout 3 seconds, she'll have realized**♪**

**Whippet angel:** **♪**Aaaaah...**♪**

**Charlie:** (*secretly he began to wind the life watch behind his back*) **♪**And she's gonna be...**♪**

**Whippet angel:**(*speaking*) Charlie, what are you doing?

**Charlie:**  **♪**Wait 'til you see...**♪**

**Whippet angel:**(*suspiciously, she tries to investigation looking behind Charlie*) What's that you got behind your back?

**Charlie: ♪**She's gonna be...**♪**

**Whippet angel:** (*gasps to her shock, realizing what Charlie is doing with the life watch*) Charlie, don't wind that watch!

**Charlie:** (*the whippet angel tries to snatch the watch away from him before Charlie falls off from her with his life watch in his hand*) **♪**Surpriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiised!**♪**

**Whippet angel:** (*screams*) Charlie! (*Suddenly a flash is shown before Charlie is set falling down from Heaven*) (*voice-over*) You can never come back!

### Scene 2

(*The camera cuts back to Earth where we see a random feral cat chewing its fish skeleton until a loud splash is heard caught its attention. As the cat walks to the end of the dock, Charlie suddenly appears out from a water and climbs back up to a dock, coughing and gasping for air, much to the cat screeched in horror and scurries off. After Charlie got on the dock, he continues to gasp for air and slamming his life watch to make it work until collapse to his coma. But his watch still works as it is ticking. He gasps and wakes up to look at his watch, much to his relief*)

**Charlie:** I'm alive...

**Whippet angel:** (*voice-over on his watch*) Charlie.... You can never come back... You can never come---

(*Annoyed, Charlie shuts his watch,gets up and walks away from a dock, groaning. The camera cuts to a junkyard where we enter a small house as Itchy is heard crying for Charlie's death*)

**Itchy:** (*whimpering and sobbing*) Oh, oh! Charlie! Charlie! (*The camera cuts to an abounded blue car at the other side of the house where a dark shadow stalking closer*) No! Look out! (*underneath the car, we see Itchy is seemly dreaming*) Charlie, no! (*suddenly someone snatches his neck, it is Carface, straggling him in his sleep, until Carface let out his familiar voice*)

**Carface:** Itchy, it's okay. It's okay, little buddy, it's me, Charlie.

(*True enough, the imagery of Carface is revealing to Charlie, which it turns out that Itchy was dreaming*)

**Itchy:** (*relieved*) Oh, Charlie. Oh, Charlie. It's you. I-I saw Carface. And he was choking me. He was grabbing my neck, and---- (*pauses and acting little hesitant with a smile*) Oh... Hi, Charlie...

**Charlie:** (*chuckles*) Hi.

**Itchy:** (*freaks out in his panic*) AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! (*Charlie tries to hush him and calm him down by grabbing him as Itchy frantically runs around*) Ah! Charlie! I know! You're a ghost! (*He escapes from Charlie's grabs and continues to run around the house with Charlie chases after him*) Grrrrr... Get back! Get back! Don't hurt me. Here. Take my nine-piece ratchet set. (*throws nine-piece ratchet set before Charlie dodges*) My oil can! (*throws an oil can before, again, Charlie dodges it*) Don't go without my rolls-Royce hood ornament. (*hits Charlie's head with a hood ornament. The chase continues on until they stop on a mattress*)

**Charlie:** I'm not a ghost! I'm not dead!

**Itchy:** Please, I got a bad back. Don't touch me--

**Charlie:** (*shuts Itchy up by grabbing his muzzle*) Quiet! (*whispers*) Itchy, I'm not a ghost. I'm not dead. Now, be quiet. I'm going to take my hand away from your mouth, And you're going to be quiet, aren't you? (*Itchy nods*) Ha ha! That's my pal. (*of course, after Charlie released Itchy's muzzle, he screams in fear still before Charlie snaps him out of it*) WILL YOU SHUT UP?! Itchy, I'm alive (*grabs a flea from his fur and places it onto Itchy's nose*) Look, look. Did ghosts have fleas?

**Itchy:** (*whimpers*) No. Ghosts don't have fleas.

**Charlie:** Right.

**Itchy:** (*looks at Charlie and smiles in relief*) Charlie? Charlie, it's really you. Oh, Charlie. But I saw the car and the river...

**Charlie:** I know.

**Itchy:** And your lifeless body flying through the air. (*weeping*)

**Charlie:** (*pats Itchy*) Itchy, what can I say? It wasn't my time.

**Itchy:** (*hugs Charlie to the floor*) I'm so happy to see you, Charlie! You don't know how much I missed you!

**Charlie:** (*shuts Itchy up by grabbing his muzzle*) Shut up! You want the whole world to know I'm back? You thought I was dead. So will Carface. He sent his henchmen to try to kill me. (*releases Itchy's muzzle*) I'll make him pay!

**Itchy:** Oh, no, Charlie. We don't wanna do that.

**Charlie:** Yeah we do. Listen, Itchy, I was always the brains for resolve these situations, wouldn't I?

**Itchy:** Yeah...

**Charlie:** When I left, he should have gone under.

**Itchy:** That's it, pal. We'll go under. Deep, deep under. They'll never find us again.

**Charlie:** No, I don't want to go under. The business grew. It got bigger. Now he won't share.

**Itchy:** That's it, my friend, we could share a nice little place in the Himalayas.

**Charlie:** I hate Himalayas.

**Itchy:** Wait a minute, they got gambling, they got races.

**Charlie:** Yeah, so what?

**Itchy:** Well, they even got a town called Tibet. You know, to-Bet. Listen here, we could nab some few llamas, a couple of mountain goats, open our own track, and---

**Charlie:** He's got something up his sleeve.

**Itchy:** Yeah, a gun.

**Charlie:** When I find out what it is, I'm gonna ruin him. I'm gonna make him suffer... slow. He'll be begging for mercy.

**Itchy:** I'm begging that we get out of here. (*Charlie grabs a empty can before crushing for his straight*) Listen, Charlie, Carface got thugs, and they got muscles, knives and guns. And he's got a monster in his basement. I heard his three henchmen mentioning it when I realized he wanted to kill you.

**Charlie:** What?

**Itchy:** And, they feed it!

**Charlie:** Monster?

**Itchy:** Yeah, monster! I said monster!

**Charlie:** Monster? (*Hearing Itchy's advice, he grins*) Ha ha! You made me developed a plan for revenge to Carface.

**Itchy:** What's that?

**Charlie:** You'll see, once we find that creature. So where is that monster anyway?

(*A rectangular shape irises in and out as the scene moves to the next where both Charlie and Itchy venture through the air vent for their investigation*)

**Itchy:** Charlie, I just know we're both going to die.

**Charlie:** (*whispers*) Shut up! (*pushes Itchy to a side*) Now, let me see here. (*irritated as Itchy frantically itches*) Stop it! (*pushes him to a gate*) Stop it! Will you quit that? I've had it with your itching.

(*Charlie lets go Itchy which leads him to accidentally opens the bars of the gate as he fell down*)

**Itchy:** (*scared as he looks through a gate; whispers*) Ooh... Oh. Hey, look, look, look, look! See...see... the monster? (*Charlie takes a peak outside from a vent to encounter a mysterious monstrous-like figure, with old and ragged clothes*) (*normal voice*) Okay. Now let's go home. Who knows what it eats? (*Itchy tries to run away, but Charlie grabs him back by a tail, in which Itchy yelps*) Someone's got me!

**Charlie:** (*holds him up*) I got you by the tail!

**Itchy:** (*in rage*) WHAT DON'T YOU TELL SOMEBODY YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT?!

**Charlie:** (*calmly*) Y'know, It's not worth it being with you. It's not. (*drops Itchy*)

**Itchy:** Your hands're cold too.

**Charlie:** (*grabs Itchy at the gate*) There, there. Now, there is your monster.

(*But it turns out it is not a monster as it is reveling to be a young human girl eating a crumb of bread*)

**Itchy:** Well, I'll be.

(*Just then, someone's coming as the two dogs lays low to hide and peeks to see that it is Carface and his henchmen arrives to the girl*)

**Girl:** Mr. Carface, can I go outside today?

**Carface:** (*puffing his cigar*) Sure you can, little girl, but first you talk to the rat. (*He peeks inside a rat cage much to a rat hiss at him. He puff a smoke at him which lead a cube of smoke out from a cage*)

**Killer:** Well, if you want my opinion, boss, I think Mighty Morris is going to win the race.

**Fee:** I doubt it, Killer.

**Line:** Yup, but who else gonna win?

(*Then a cube of smoke his three henchmen*)

**Killer:** (*disgusted*) Boss, that cigar....

**Fee:** Yeah, watch it. Because you'd make us....

(*The three henchmen coughs*)

**Girl:** (*to the rat*) Hi, Mr. Longtail. How are you today? (*Mr. Longtail chattering*) Fine, thank you. Will you be in the race tonight? (*Mr. Longtail chattering*) A sore foot? You shouldn't run. (*Mr. Longtail chattering*) And Twizzle has a cold? She should drink soup. (*Mr. Longtail chattering*) Oh, Squad Car has the flu. Oh, my.

**Carface:** (*impatient*) Don't take forever talking to it, kid. Hurry it up!

**Girl:** (*hesitant*) I'm sorry. (*to Mr. Longtail*) So who do you think will win? (*Mr. Longtail chattering*) Oh, I see. The Spotted Gray.

**Carface:** Killer, Fee, Line.

**Killer, Fee, Line:** Yes, sir?

**Carface:** Shift the odds on the Spotted Gray and feed the kid.

**Fee:** What?

**Line:** Again?

**Killer:** Oh, boss. Do we have to? (*Carface puffs a smoke cloud at his henchmen, much to them coughing*) Oh, boy. Where did you buy that thing?

**Fee:** (*coughs*) Okay, okay, whatever you assist us, as long you... (*coughs*) need to learn to cut out smoking one of these days. Come on, boys, let's leave this kid be.

(*The henchmen coughing and climbs up the stairs*)

**Girl:** But, Mr. Carface, you said I could go outside today.

**Line:** Sorry, girl, but his mind seemly made up. (*coughs*)

(*They close the door. The girl sadly sits down towards a wall and sobs softly, unbeknownst that Charlie and Itchy looks on. Charlie smiles in his amazement*)

**Itchy:** Charlie?

**Charlie:** Did you see that, Itchy? A little girl who talks to animals (*dollar symbols appears in his eyes*) Imagine that.

**Itchy:** Charlie, I think we---

**Charlie:** Don't. I'll do the thinking.

**Itchy:** But, Charlie...

**Charlie:** (*opens the vent gate before walks out*) Poor child. We'll kidnap her.

**Itchy:** Kidnap?

**Charlie:** Uh, rescue her.

**Itchy:** But, Charlie...

**Charlie:** Itchy, button up. (*climbs down to the boxes*) Uh, little girl...(*much to the girl's surprise*) Excuse me. We understand you're being held here against your will. Let me introduce myself. Sit. I am Charlie B. Barkin, And this is my associate, Itchy Itchiford. Mr. Itchy to you.

**Itchy:** Hey, how'd you do?

**Charlie:** And it strikes me that this is not the place for you. Am I right?

**Girl:** Oh, well, I...

**Charlie:** (*packs all the girl's belongings into a suitcase*) Well... let us take you away from all this. Where are your parents?

**Girl:** I'm an orphan.

**Charlie:** (*gasps and whispers to Itchy*) She's an orphan. She doesn't have any parents. (*to the girl*) That settles it. You know, you're going to stay with Itchy.

**Itchy:** Me?

**Charlie:** (*grabs a rope*) Yeah, What's your name, little girl?

**Girl:** Anne-Mar--.

**Itchy:** (*Charlie ties up Itchy under a suitcase*) No, no, Charlie. Count me out. She can't stay with me. This has gone too far. I'm gettin' outta here.

**Charlie:** Oh, alright, you have no compassion. (*Throws Itchy to the floor and grabs on the girl for a ride*) If he refuses to stay you, then stay with me.

**Girl:** Anne-Marie.

**Charlie:** Huh?

**Anne-Marie:** You asked my name. It's Anne-Marie.

(*They climb up back to the air vent gate before went inside the vent*)

**Charlie:** Listen, Anne-Marie, you'd like living with me, wouldn't you? You're going to love my place-- Canopy bed under the stars, open hearth, three square meals a day, radio, heater, whitewalls. I live in a cab. Low mileage, of course. (*chuckles*)

(*As Itchy, carrying the suitcase filled with Anne-Marie's stuff, reaches to the air vent to catch the two up, a gate grabs caught him away from a vent, before Itchy makes a reach back to enter inside the vent. Suddenly he overhears a voice. Quickly, Itchy climbs back inside a vent before taking, however, as he did the gate shuts and caught a rope, which makes him stuck. Itchy, quickly forces himself from a gate grabs until it frees him away.*)

**Itchy:** Charlie, wait for me. (*runs away just before outside where Killer, Fee, and Line shows up with little food*)

**Killer:** Feed, feed, feed. Always feed the kid, he said. Why wouldn't he feed that tiny brat by himself? She's his problem, not ours.

**Line:** We wish that Carface isn't a boss of us.

**Fee:** Just shut up, and let's get this over with. Yoo-hoo, girly. Look what we got for you, more bread crumbs. (*but no answer*) Hello? (*they enters and sees she's gone*) What the!?

**Line:** Oh, she's not here!

**Killer:** Oh no! She's gone! Vanished! Escaped! Carface will kill us when he finds out about this!

**Fee:** How'd she escaped, though? Where would she be?

**Killer:** How should I know? We might as well report this to Carface. Oooh, though he'd be externally furious at us once we spread the word to him.

**Line:** Yeah, he would've told us to keep our eyes on her.

(*The scene cuts a couple seconds later where Carface is riding on a simulator, which he is on a car and a moving background in film to a TBD*)

**Carface:** (*furious after been told by his henchmen*) WHAT?! (*throws a lantern to an old broken front of the car, as the table, which holds a fan, much to the henchmen dodge it*)

**Fee:** Now, now, take it easy, sir.

**Carface:** WHAT DID YOU MEAN SHE IS GONE?!

**Killer:** Well, you see, boss, w--

**Carface:** SHUT UP!! (*furiusosly he takes off his neck scarf and helment and throws them one by one*) Can't you just-- I--Oof! Wah! Morons! I'm surrounded by morons! (*turns off the movie screen and grabs the controler and pulls the leaver down in a fury which causes a gearbox to fall down from a cieling and crashes onto a front of the car, frights his three henchmen*)

**Fee:** Geez, Carface. You need to get out more.

**Line:** There's no need to be furious.

**Killer:** Yes. And besides, boss, it wasn't our fault. To be perfectly honest, you see, I--Uh--B-B-- (*Carface throws the car equement and Killer dodges it. Then holds up a shield*) Thunder was on duty. Take it up with him.

**Fee and Line:** Yeah.

(*Carface throws another car equipment at Killer*)

**Carface:** Where can she be?! I should've known that I should ask you three idiots to keep a sharp eye on her!

**Line:** That's what I thought.

**Carface:** I love that girl! I want her back! Now!

**Killer:** Boss, you see, the thing of it--

**Carface:** NOW!!!!

(*The three henchmen runs out from Carface's office*)

**Killer:** (*to the cats*) Well, at least he won't kill us this time.

**Fee:** Come on, men. Let's go on our search!

### Scene 3

(*The scene fates to nighttime at New Orleans before it fades to the same junkyard where Charlie and Itchy lived where we then moved inside an abounded old car where Charlie is reading a book to Anne-Marie, and the right side is Itchy sitting beside him*)

**Charlie:** So Robin Hood says to Little John, "This sheriff is a bimbo. What we say we'll knock him off and take the gold. Not for ourselves, but, uh, we'll give it to the poor worth the suckers who got took in the first place."

**Itchy:** Aw come on, Charlie, where do you get that stuff? (*grabs the book from Charlie and looks at it, which turns out it is "War of Peace", which Charlie emanates it as the story of Robin Hood to Anne-Marie*) What kind of who-is-this guy anyway giving a dough to the poor without taking his cut?

**Anne-Marie:** I like this story, Mr. Itchy.

**Itchy:** What?You would...

**Charlie:** (*covers Itchy's mouth as he whispers to him*) Shut up! I'm trying to get the brat to sleep. Do you mind?

**Anne-Marie:** Then what happens?

**Charlie:** Well, then, uh... uh... (*statches the book away from Itchy*) give me that. (*continues reading the book to Anne-Marie*) All the poor people was happy 'cause they wasn't poor now.

**Itchy:** But this Hood Guy's out 50%.

**Charlie:** So what? His doll loved him all the more.

**Anne-Marie:** Was she pretty?

**Charlie:** Ha ha! She was to die for! (*Anne-Marie looks at a page depicting two men on horses and one stabs a blue wearing guy, not knowing what really is, much to Itchy's annoyance*) But the whole gang wondered, would Maid Marian marry him? And... (*flips all the pages before throws away the book*) she did. Ha! (*knocks away a record player to stop the music and then places Anne-Marie to a front seat and covers her with a heavy sheat*) Now go to sleep, Anne-Marie, huh? Mr. Itchy and I got to talk some business. (*closes two curtains*)

**Itchy:** (*vocie-over*) Look here, Charlie, let's get something straight about Anne-Marie.

**Anne-Marie:** (*as ridding all the junk before getting to her slumber*) Good night, Mr. Itchy!

**Itchy:** (*vocie-over*) Uh, good night, Annie! (*to Charlie*) I don't like this. We're sitting here reading fairy tales to a little time bomb. (*camera cuts outside the car with him and Charlie*) She was Bo Peep and-- (*itching*) Ohh! At least we could stash her at the old church. Would it be a good idea?

**Charlie:** (*laughs*) Would you relax? Carface ain't gonna look for her here. He thinks I'm dead, remember? Heeeeeh... (*lays Itchy down to a fallen tire*) Now, get some sleep, pal. Tomorrow, we take this little time bomb to the horse track, and we make ourselves a fortune!

**Anne-Marie:** (*overhears Charlie*) Horsies? I love horsies! (*giggles*)

**Charlie:** (*realizing being overheard by her much to his annoyance; to Itchy*) Now look what you've done! 8:00 in the morning, got it?

**Itchy:** Okay, Charlie, 8:00. I'll be there. (*runs off. Unbeknownst to them that Fee, Line, and Killer watches over behind the junk pile*)

**Fee:** (*gasps*) Unbelievable. Boys, it's Charlie! He survived from his death under Carface's plot.

**Line:** So he's the one who helped the kid to escape, we should've known.

**Killer:** (*gulps nervously*) The boss's going to be highly furious once he finds out.

**Fee:** Shhh... Quiet, scaredy cat..

**Killer:** (*angry*) I'm a dog, not a cat!

**Fee:** Shhh!!! What different and better choice do we get? Come on! We must develop the plot to catch the girl back before our boss realizes Charlie is alive, tomorrow! Let's go.

(*The two cats scurries off*)

**Killer:** (*to himself, hesitantly*) I have a strange ghostly feeling about this. How'd Charlie managed to survive from the car cash down to that dock?

**Fee:** (*voice-over*) Killer! Move it or loose it!

(*Killer catches the cats up before the scene cuts back inside the car where Charlie hops in a backseat and tosses a pillow to Anne-Marie in the front*)

**Charlie:** Here, Anne-Marie. Now go to sleep, huh?

**Anne-Marie:** Charlie, would you please tuck me in? Please?

**Charlie:** Ha. Yeah. (*he tucks her with a fuzzy string*)

**Anne-Marie:** Charlie, May I please have a goodnight kiss?

**Charlie:** (*hesitating*) What? Oh... sure. (*licks her much to his discuss*) Yuck! Blech! Yuck!

**Anne-Marie:** Thank you for rescuing me.

**Charlie:** Ah. Ha ha. Sure. It was-- It was nothing, Anne-Marie. (*begins to sleep until Anne-Marie is heard making squeaking noise to which it annoys Charlie*) Hey, squeaker, knock it off.

**Anne-Marie:** I'm sorry...

(*Charlie continues to sleep, snoring, until Anne-Marie quietly snucks up to him which wake him up acting jumpy*)

**Charlie:** (*irritated*) What now?!

**Anne-Marie:** Charlie, your front seat hurts me.

**Charlie:** Oh, yeah? Ahem. All right. All right. All right. (*to himself*) Dames.

**Anne-Marie:** Thank you, Charlie. Good night.

**Charlie:** Uh-Huh. Now, uh, go to sleep, huh? (*sleeps on*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*voice-over; praying*) Dear God...

**Charlie:** (*wakes up to his annoyance*) Oh, no....

**Anne-Marie:** (*voice-over; praying*) Thank you so much for my new friend Charlie. (*Charlie covers himself with a heavy seat, trying to avoid hearing her. The scene cuts to a back seat with Anne-Marie still praying*) And thank you for sending him to rescue me.

**Charlie:** (*appears through the curtains; whispering to her*) Psst! Hey!

**Anne-Marie:** (*praying*) God bless Mr. Itchy...

**Charlie:** (*whispering to himself*) Yeah, bless Itchy...

**Anne-Marie:** (*praying*) And God bless Charlie. Amen. Oh, and please help me find a mommy and daddy. (*Charlie sighs to his relief and returns back to the front seat*) Charlie?

**Charlie:** (*voicover*) What?

**Anne-Marie:** (*yawning*) Do you think you could help me find a mommy and daddy?

**Charlie:** (*real annoyed*) Anne-Marie, I'll help you find the lost city of Atlantis if you just please, please go to sleep!

(*the camera cuts outside from the car*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*voice-over*) Charlie?

**Charlie:** (*voice-over; still annoyed*) What?!

**Anne-Marie:** (*voice-over; whispers*) I have to go to the bathroom.

**Charlie:** (*voice-over; chuckles in hid annoyance*) WHY?!

(*The scene fades to black*)

## Act 3

### Scene 1

(*The next scene fades to a horse barn before we enter inside the barn where we see Charlie, Itchy and Anne-Marie*)

**Charlie:** Anne-Marie, cupcake, sweetheart. Please, just talk to the horsie, huh? Talk to Mr. Horsie.

**Itchy:** (*in his amusement*) I dunno, Charlie, maybe she only talks to rats. (*whizzes with laughter*)

**Charlie:** Don't be stupid. She talked to me, didn't she?

**Itchy:** Yeah, she talked to you. That makes you a rat! Ha ha ha!

**Charlie:** (*imitates laughter*) "Ha ha ha!" Oh, grow up.

**Itchy:** Okay, okay. Maybe horses is too stupid to talk.

(*a female horse, overhears him, angrily whinnies as she pushes Itchy to a ground*)

**Charlie:** Aha! (*to Anne-Marie*) What did she say?

**Itchy:** (*to the female horse; growling*) Hey, listen, try that again, you, And you are glue!

**Charlie:** (*to Anne-Marie*) Come on, kiddo, what did she say?

**Anne-Marie:** (*glares at Charlie*) You sounds just like Mr. Carface.

**Charlie:** What? He's a criminal. D-D-D-Did he read you stories? Did he give you a comfortable bed? Did he kiss you good night? Geeze, I mean, you're talking to Charlie. I-I rescued you. And besides, we're giving the money to the poor.

**Itchy:** What?

**Charlie:** Sharing it with the poor.

**Anne-Marie:** Like Robin Hood?

**Charlie:** Yeah. Just like in the story.

**Itchy:** (*imitates him*) "Just like in the story"

**Charlie:** (*gently slaps Itchy to shut him up*) And another thing, Anne-Marie, if you're serious about this mommy and daddy business, you're gonna need dough of your own, y'know, new dresses, new shoes. I know these things. Nobody wants a scrawny little doll in rags.

**Anne-Marie:** (*enthusiastically*) Promise you'll help me find a mommy and daddy?

**Charlie:** I promise.

**Anne-Marie:** Oh, Charlie! (*She hugs Charlie, much to him being choked a little before she lets him go*)

**Charlie:** (*holds his neck; to Itchy*) Good shape for a little kid.

**Anne-Marie:** (*to Itchy as she turns to hug him*) Isn't that wonderful?

**Itchy:** Don't pick me up. Please, Annie, put me down. (*growls after Anne-Marie puts him down*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*to the female horse*) Excuse me. Could you please tell me which one of you is going to win today's race? We'll give the money to the poor and buy me a new dress so I can get some parents. (*the female horse neighs and snorts*) Who? (*the female horse whispers to her ears*) Oh, how nice.

**Charlie:** (*to Anne-Marie*) Well, what is it?

**Anne-Marie:** It's the Grand Chawhee's birthday.

**Itchy:** Chee haw who?

**Charlie:** Huh?

**Itchy**: Cha who?

**Charlie:** Chee.

**Itchy:** Chee haw.

**Anne-Marie:** (*giggles*) No. Chawhee!

**Charlie:** (*confused*) Uh-huh?

**Anne-Marie:** It's his birthday.

**Charlie:** But, who do you think is going to win?

**Anne-Marie:** (*points him to the right side*) He is. (*the camera quickly pans to the right side to Chawhee, who is filthy and looks too dopey*) But you mustn't tell. It's a surprise.

**Charlie:** I'll say! (*to Itchy*) Can we trust this horse? (*the female horse whinnies at Charlie with a bit of anger*) Okay, okay! The grand Chawhee, choo haw, Chaw hee hee, hoo haw by surprise. Let's go place the bet.

**Itchy:** (*sarcastically*) Oh, yeah, sure, Charlie. With what dough?

**Charlie:** Itchy...

(*the trio leaves the barn as Chawhee grins, showing his teeth, at the camera. Unbeknownst to them that Fee, Line, and Killer watches over behind a tree watching Charlie, Itchy and Anne-Marie walks out from the horse barn)*

**Fee:** Listen, guys. To catch her, we must to think a plan.

**Line:** And how able can we going to do that, Fee? Charlie may catch us on the scene.

**Killer:** (*laughs*) Well, say no more, fellas, 'cause I know the brilliant way to get that little brat back. Come on! (*Fee and Line follows Killer*)

### Scene 2

(*the scene cuts where Charlie, Itchy and Anne-Marie walks through the crowds*)

**Charlie:** Let's see here. All we need is a couple of bucks.

**Itchy:** (*laughing*) A couple of bucks, a couple of bucks. I'm on it Charlie.

**Anne-Marie:** (*walks under pass through a couple*) A couple, a couple-- Mmm! Yeah! A mom and dad!

**Charlie:** Yeah, right. Sure, Anne-Marie. (*drops the woman's belongings from her purse*) Nope! Too thin!

**Itchy:** (*climbs up the large overweight man behind him but slips off;* *laughing*) Too fat. Hee hee hee!

**Anne-Marie:** (*points over the same couple*) Oh, look! Charlie! They're perfect!

**Charlie:** You know, Anne-Marie, I think you're right. Wait right here. Itchy.

**Itchy:** Yes? A number 17? (*growls*)

**Charlie:** No, no, Itchy. (*whispers to him*) A number 3.

**Itchy:** A number 3? The lame dog? Ha ha ha! Oh, Charlie! (*laughs and faking pain as he howls and walks towards the couple*) My feet is killing me! (*howling and lays down and grabs his foot*)

**Woman:** Oh, Harold! The poor little thing.

**Harold:** (*to Itchy*) Cute little fella. What's wrong, boy?

**Anne-Marie:** (*shows up and grabs Itchy*) Itchy! Itchy! Are you okay?

**Harold's wife:** Oh! Is this your dog?

**Anne-Marie:** Well, kind of. Itchy, what's the matter? (*Unbeknownst them that Charlie attempt to quietly and carefully uses his teeth to grab Harold's wallet, just before someone grabs him underneath unseen*) Itchy!

**Itchy:** (*who's the one grabs Charlie's front leg and whispers to him*) Charlie! What do I do?

**Charlie:** (*whispers*) Ham it up more. We almost got it.

**Anne-Marie:** (*pulls Itchy back; to Itchy*) Let me see your paw.

**Harold:** Oh, I think he's fine.

(*Charlie tries again by carefully grabs Harold's wallet with his teeth until he successfully snatches it*)

**Charlie:** (*to Itchy*) Hey, I got it! Let's go!

(*Both Charlie and Itchy scurries off, with Anne-Marie following them*)

**Anne-Marie:** Itchy!

**Harold:** (*looks back at the trio leaving; to his wife about Itchy, without realizing what really happened*) Seems to be just fine.

(*Harold's wife walks to Anne-Marie, not knowing Charlie is hiding in the bush*)

**Harold's wife:** (*to Anne-Marie*) What's your name, little girl?

**Anne-Marie:** Anne-Marie. Please to meet you. I'm getting a new dress.

**Harold's wife:** Well, that's nice dear. Where are your parents?

**Charlie:** (*whispers to Anne-Marie*) Squeaker, let's go.

**Anne-Marie:** (*whispers to Charlie*) But I want to talk--

**Charlie:** (*whispers; puts on a hat on her*) Come on! We'll gonna miss Chawhee's birthday.

(*Charlie grabs away Anne-Marie leaving Harold's wife*)

**Harold's wife:** Wait a minute, Anne-Marie. Where are you going? Where are your parents? (*to herself*) Seems shy. Oh, well. (*leaves away*)

(*The scene fades to the horse track*)

**PA:** Last call for bets.

(*the scene cuts to a tall figure walks to the booth*)

**Tall figure:** (*deep voice; to the ticket man*) I want to make a bet please.

(*Much to the ticket man's awe as he stares at his costumer, who, which he did not know, is actually Anne-Marie, along with the two dogs in disgust. Inside the suit, Charlie kisses the pile of money bills until Itchy reminding him. Charlie pulls his tail inside a suit and begins to pass money bills to Itchy*)

**Charlie:** (*whispers to Itchy*) Grand Chawhee to win. Pass it on.

**Itchy:** (*whispers to Anne-Marie as he hands money to her*) Grand Chawhee to win. Pass it on.

**Anne-Marie:** (*deep voice*) Grand Chawhee to win.

(*inside, Itchy starts itching until Anne-Marie itches him, much to Itchy sighs in relief*)

**Ticket man:** (*checking the list of race horses; to Anne-Marie*) Chawhee? Good. You know something I don't?

**Anne-Marie:** (*normal voice as her fake mustache fall off from her face*) It's his birthday. (*Itchy places a fake mustache back on to her face*) (*deep voice*) I mean it is his birthday. (*the ticket man hands a ticket to her*) thank you.

(*The three leaves the booth. Charlie steals a ice cream from the ice cream cart and hand over to Itchy and to Anne-Marie to lick it. Inside the empty TBD, the trio takes a seat as the begal plays through the speakers*)

**Itchy:** (*to Anne-Marie as she licks her ice cream*) Hey are you getting any of that in your mouth up there? (*her ice cream then fall off onto Itchy's muzzle where he picks it up in his disgust*) Eew! It's ju-- Oh, come on! Give me a break! Give me a break!

**Charlie:** (*To Itchy*) Eh, knock it off. You see anything up there?

**Itchy:** (*drops an ice cream and licks it from his paw*) Well, mostly the back of the buttons, but other than that...

(*suddenly the bell rings and the horses are off for the race through the track. However, one of them, Chawee, walks out from his cellar and runs off to race*)

**Anne-Marie:** Come on, Chawhee! You can do it! It's your birthday!

**Itchy:** (*pops out from the suit; to Anne-Marie*) I don't care if it's his bar mitzvah! That horse is a glue pot!

**Charlie:** Shut up, Itch'! Please, Chawhee, please!

**Itchy:** Come on! Move your legs!

(*in the track where the horses are still racing, while the female horse gallops to another horse*)

**Female horse:** Yoo-Hoo! Reginald! Excuse me.

**Reginald:** Oh! Ha ha! Splendid! Hello, Stella! Jolly good day for a race, what?

**Stella:** Oh, yes, but, Reginald, honey, I do hate to rain on your parade, But did you know (*anger tone*) it's the Grand Chawhee's birthday?!

**Reginald:** Oh, really? You don't-- Oh. Terribly sorry.

(*so the two horse gives Chawhee a push, while Chawhee waves to the camera, until finally they pushes him to the finish line, with his slide causing a cloud of dust to cover the entire scene. Chawhee then pops out from a dust and blows his TBD*)

**Itchy:** (*cheering and laughing as he, Charlie and Anne-Marie falls on a seat, leading to their disguise to fall off*) He did it! Whoo hoo hoo! He did it! Ha ha!

**Charlie:** No, Anne-Marie did! Ha ha ha!

**Anne-Marie:** (*gets up*) Happy birthday, Chawhee! Happy birthday! I knew you could do it! Happy birthday!

(*Chawhee gets his winning photo shooting. Charlie laughs until Anne-Marie kisses him on a cheek, much to Charlie's disgust, until an iris shrinks to black*)

### Scene 3

(*The scene fates to the montage which began as we see Charlie, happily flips over money before fading to another where Anne-Marie talks to a frog, much to the frog hops in its joy. It finally hops from other racing frogs to the finish line and into a bucket full of bugs where it stuffs them in it mouth to eat. The next scene is Anne-Marie, in disguise with Charlie and Itchy, at the booth before the scene fades to a close-up view of a slot machine, with three head pictures of Charlie, Anne-Marie, and Itchy shows up one by one, much to a ringing sound and a pile of coins falls out from bottom slot like a fountain water. Next scene is Anne-Marie places a turtle on the starting line with other turtles, before most of the turtles zooms off to race, as Anne-Marie shouts "go, go!" Compare to other turtles, Anne-Marie's turtle zooms through the water like flash and made to the finish line. A hand grabs Anne-Marie's turtle and Anne-Marie places a fern with flowers on to her turtle and kisses it much it feeling coy. Next scene shows two kangaroos are boxing each other until the red one gives a huge kick to its blue rival. Anne-Marie, in disguise with her two dog friends, holds up the red wearing kangaroo for its victory. Next scene shows Itchy grabs a pile of money before he, Anne-Marie and Charlie walks off. Next scene where a wind happens as Charlie, with his glee on face, flips his money. As the wind stops, both Charlie and Itchy laughs as they happily flips over the pile of money, but stops to see the sadden Anne-Marie sitting on the other side of the pile of money, realizing that they have to buy something to her. Next scene where we see the two dogs takes Anne-Marie to a boutique store to buy her some new clothes. Anne-Marie tries out one dress to another as Charlie and Itchy applauding over her fashion looks. The trio then leaves with Charlie and Itchy carrying a load of Anne-Marie's clothes. Next scene, Itchy makes a blue print, planning to build something. As finishing the blue print, Itchy begins to constructing as he operates the abounded crane machine to pick up any junks to a pile, and TBD them them up to make as a building. Finally, Itchy pulls a TBD lever, which cause the light to be turned on, which revels "Charlie's Place", a casino and entertainment center, run by Charlie and Itchy. Inside the casino, all the dogs and animals and monsters and aliens and dinosaurs and clown monster beasts and jaw monsters and martians and beasts and dragons and sea monsters and creatures and demons and croodaceous creatures and hybrids and alebrijes enjoying his new place, where they gamble and enjoying entertainment, as Charlie walks up to Itchy's bar, which is a small abounded car, where he meets the same dog from Carface's casino*)

**Charlie:** (*to the Smiley*) Smiley, what do you know? What do you say? (*Smiley the Dog takes off his head to reveal him his pile of steaks on his head*) That's using your head. Ha! Enjoy! Hey, itch! I gonna hand it to you, the place looks great! Ha ha ha! (*as he look himself in a small mirror, sporting Smiley's hat he take it from, he realizes Anne-Marie angrily packs her stuff behind him*) Hey! What is this? (*to Anne-Marie*) What are you doing?

**Anne-Marie:** I'm leaving! You said, said w-we would help the poor, And we didn't. You promised to find me parents. You didn't even look. All you do is gamble. And it isn't right!

**Charlie:** (*stops her and confesses*) You know something, you're right. (*hands the goodies to her*) What a selfish, callous cad of a heel I've been, Blind to the needs of our society's lonely unloved. (*but Anne-Marie drops them and continues to walk to the exit, carrying her bunny doll, before Charlie stops her*) Thank you. Thank you for helping me see the light. (*gently pushes her back inside his casino*) Squeaker, we're going to help the poor.

**Anne-Marie:** (*smiles*) Oh, Charlie. (*kisses him on his nose and leaves, leaving Charlie secretly disgust while Itchy watches on in his annoyance*)

**Itchy:** Hey, Charlie. What is it with you and this little kid? I mean we got a business to run, y'know?

**Charlie:** Itchy, we got to keep Anne-Marie happy, right? (*snatches a towel and wipes his nose where Anne-Marie kissed*) Blech! Blah!

(*Cuts outside from Charlie's Place where Carface's henchmen gazes at the building, as they are hiding behind the junk pile*)

**Fee:** Well, cough out the hairball! Take a look at that, boys. Charlie found his own casino now.

**Lee:** Why, whatta nerve! He thinks he can plot his way to overshadow Carface with that or isn't he? Who never wonder why he steal the kid?

**Killer:** No need to worry, guys, I can see the girl and Charlie are coming ahead. (*the three lay low as both Anne-Marie walks outside, follow by Charlie*)

**Fee:** Well, I hope I know what you're doing here, Killer, as you set this net to camouflage this spot.

**Killer:** Trust me. She will never notice that this baby is set here. She will be entering this spot right.. about...(*hears the net snatches*) Oh, ho! See? Easy as catching a rat. (*the three henchmen grabs the net with an unknown source inside*)

**Fee:** Well, we gotta hand to ya, Killer, ol' pal. You're plot wasn't a fiasco as we were thought it would. Now, come on, fallas! Since we got her, we must go back to the casino boat!

(*however, as the three went off, little did they know that they didn't really catch Anne-Marie as she, with Charlie, walks to a different direction, the camera then cuts back to Killer and the two cats as they finally got back to the casino boat, after their long walk. They went inside the boat and stops at Anne-Marie's room, panting feeling exhausted*)

**Fee:** Well, finally, that wasn't that too long to scurry way back to this boat. Oooh.. my back.

**Line:** Your saying me. My paws are killing. Ow...

**Killer:** Look at the bright side, though. Carface had never aware about Charlie's existence. He'd be so proud once we did the right thing to return this kid to him.

**Line:** But what about Charlie?

**Fee:** Stop worrying. We'll be back to rid of him again without Carface noticing it. Killer, give me the net. (*grabs and opens up the net*) Okay, little girl, you're big so much of a trouble. Oh ho, you are going to march to have a serious talk with Mr.--- (*But it turns out it is a furious Carface who his henchmen caught him by mistake, much to Killer and the cats gasps*) CARFACE?!(*gulps and laughs hesitantly*)

**Killer:** Uh... Hi. Boss. Whatta surprise, that we never expecting you.

**Line:** And how did you get inside of this net?

**Carface:** (*furious*) MORRONS! I was grew impatient waiting for you, so I ventured out to seek you! And what was it about that I heard you three moronic animals claimed the truth about Charlie?!

**Killer:** Uh-oh...

(*The scene cuts to a piece of meat, which tied to a rope, drops down into the water where a school of piranhas devour it up. The rope then pulls up the bone, which it is left, with a piranha hanging on to it. It make it back from the pit to the room where Carface blows a smoke to it*)

**Killer:** (*who is tied up, along with and hang upside down by the rope on his feet*) I knew we should have used the pliers like you suggested!

**Carface:** (*puffs a smoke to his henchmen*) Charlie's alive, and I know he's got the girl,

(*Killer coughs*)

**Carface:** killer, this is strike two. You're out.

**Killer:** No wait, boss! Boss, we get one more strike! Honest!

**Carface:** (*to his animal thugs*) Lower them. (*thugs lower Killer down to the pit*) Oh! Nothing personal, killer. Business.

(*in the pit where Killer whimpers*)

(*outside from the pit*)

**Carface:** (*to himself*) If you want something done right, You got to do it yourself. Hmmm.... How do I handle Charlie? Knives? Poison? Car didn't work. Something. Something very special. But what?

**Killer:** (*almost near to the piranhas*) Boss! Pull us up, please! I got a- I got a- I got a gun!

**Carface:** A gun? What did you mean a gun? What kind of gun?

(*one of piranhas bites Killer's ears*)

**Killer:** Boss, you hear me? We got a gun! Stop, fishies too! Stop! You won't like what you taste. (*the thugs pull Carface's henchmen up back to his room*) I don't taste that good! You been eatin', you been eatin' too much. Boss! Pull us up! We got--We got a-- We got a--Ow! Ow! A Flash-Gordon Thermo-Atomic Ray Gun, boss.

**Carface:** (*grins evilly*) A ray gun....? (*smiles evilly as he turns into a devil, realizing his another evil plan to kill Charlie for sure*)

## Act 4

### Scene 1

(*Meanwhile, the scene cuts to an abandoned church house where an evil laugh is heard. Inside, two monster-alike shadows appearing upstairs*)

**Spooky male voice-over:** Who does his evil deeds in the shadowed dark of night? (*laughs evilly*) The phantom does.

(*behind the shadows are turning out to be Charlie and Anne-Marie carrying pizza boxes*)

**Charlie:** (*panting; to Anne-Marie*) Uhh! These are some of the poorest people I know. They're broker than... the ten commandments. Heh heh. A little joke. Very little. (*the duo arrives up to the attic where they find a female collie and the multi-colored group of orphan puppies are gather together listening a horror story on their radio, which still plays. A sound of a woman shrieks frights the puppies*) Anybody here order a pizza?

**Puppies:** (*excited*) Charlie! Pizza!

(*happily, all the puppies bark and runs towards Charlie, as he drops the boxes of pizza where they gobble up and fighting over them*)

**Charlie:** Hold it! Hold it! Hey! Hold it! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Hold it! Hold it! Ahem! I want you-- I want you-- Hey! (*the pups pause to Charlie*) I want you kids to meet A very, very special guest. Anne-Marie.

**Anne-Marie:** (*giggles*) Pleased to meet you.

(*the pups continues devouring and fight over pizzas*)

**Collie:** (*laughs*) Hello, Charlie.

**Charlie:** Hello, Flo.

**Flo:** It was nice of you to come by. We don't see much of you anymore.

**Charlie:** Well, you know how it is, I mean, you know... Got a business to run.

**Flo:** (*giggle*)Yeah. I know how it is. Oh, Charlie. Gosh, how these little guys love you.

(*a yellow pup bits Charlie's foot*)

**Charlie:** Ho! Ho! Hey! Easy! Easy!

**Yellow pup:** Uncle Charlie, can I have some more?

**Charlie:** Whatever you want. Whatever y-- Here. Eat the box.

(*Charlie slides a box towards a side while a yellow pup is chasing after it until the box stops and opens to reveal one last pizza. As a yellow pup grabs it, other pups fights over it*)

**Puppies:** Give it back! Ow that's mine!

**Charlie:** Just a minute, pizza pup! Don't you want to share? Hey! All right. It's only a pizza, fellas. Come on! Do you mind sharing? (*the pups continues fight until Charlie stops them for a second*) Now, come on. Don't fight! (*puts a pizza on his head*) I'm tell you something about sharing. (*singing*) ♪What's mine is yours? What's yours is mine? The more you share, the more the sun'll shine♪ (*a yellow pup bites to a pizza but missed as Charlie gets up*) Everybody! ♪What's mine is yours? What's your--?♪ (*a blue pups snatches a pizza from Charlie's head*) # Hey!

Listen to uncle Charlie! (*splits a small half of a pizza and lay it on the floor*) ♪Whether you're the boss, or someone's pet.♪ (*a yellow pup grabs a small piece of pizza much to a blue pup whimpers, just before he is about to eat*) ♪The more you give, the more you're gonna get.♪

**Puppies:** (*passing small pieces of pizza to one puppy and another, as Charlie splits a pizza*) (*singing*) ♪You got a little or a lot...♪

**Charlie:** That's it.

**Puppies: ♪**You've got to share, 'cause you know what...♪

**Charlie:** Hey, I'm proud of you! (*laughs*)

**Puppies: ♪**Each other's all that we have got. The sun'll shine, If, you, share all the time.**♪** (*stuffs pizza pieces to each other*)

(*all singing at the same time*)

**Charlie:** ♪What's mine is yours?....♪

(*the pups holds each others' hands and circles around Charlie and then do a conga, before Charlie grabs a different box, as they continue singing*)

(*ends the song as Charlie then drops a box on the floor to reveal a cake for pups' dessert. Again, the pups rushes to gobble and fight over the cake, much to Charlie's laughs in his embarrassment as he shrugs to the camera. Anne-Marie picks up a wallet and takes a look in it to see the weeding photo picture of the same couple she met earlier at the horse race, and realizes that Charlie was been taking from their wallet*)

**Anne-Marie:** Charlie, where did you get this?

**Charlie:** What?

**Anne-Marie:** This wallet, how did get this?

**Charlie:** (*trying to explain to her*) Well, I... ahem! Ahem! I, uh... i, uh...

**Anne-Marie:** (*angry*) You stole it?

**Charlie:** I was going to give it back.

**Anne-Marie:** You stole it. I can't believe this. You don't ever do that! Why? How could you?! (*she walks upstairs*)

**Charlie:** Hey, Anne-Marie! Come on! Come back, kid. I--I--I... (*but Anne-Marie is already at another room*) (*to himself, softly*) Oh, blast!

(*a female pup follows Anne-Marie upstairs to the attic where she gazes at the couple's photo*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*singing*) **♪**All I have is a picture in my mind how it would be, if we were together. Let's pretend that you're far away. Let's say you write to me. And you promise in your letter.**♪** (*the scene cuts to a close-up to a couple's picture before it fades, through her imagination, to the series of photos of Annie-Marie, Flo, and the pups with the couple, as Anne-Marie continues to sing all throughout*) That you'll come home, come home to my heart. When you come home, we'll never be apart. If I keep dreaming of you. Start believing it's true. Soon you'll come home. Soon you'll come home to my heart♪ (*the scene fades back to a present day where Anne-Marie and the pups are laying down to sleep*) **♪**Soon you'll come home to my heart. Soon you'll come home. Home to my heart. Soon you'll come home. Home to my heart, if I believe**♪**

### Scene 2

*the scene fades to where the camera zooms to Charlie, sleeping, and his watch which automatically opens and starts ticking while the whippet angel's voice is heard*)

**Whippet angel:** (*voice-over*) Charlie, you can never come back. You can never come---

(*Suddenly the scene fades to an explosion and Charlie flies through the clouds and through a lighting tornado. Then Charlie makes a run while the ground is rumbling, with a light glows inside, and irrupted to flames. Then a tornado happen, causing the strong wind to carry Charlie to the tornado and straight down to the firey pit of Hell, where he lands on a hell boat that rises up from the river of lava. A giant dragon-alike skeleton on the boat screeches much to Charlie's fright as he runs to another side of the hell boat where he stops to witness a giant flamey figure rises up from a lava until it explode to revel itself as a terrifying gazelle/apatosaurus/monster/alebrije/dog/dragon/giraffe/bull alike creature, known as the Hellhound. and he blows fire to the hell boat where the flames reveals an small Tasmanian Devil-alike group of demons, who goes on to terrorize and attack on Charlie, by biting his ear and nose, much to Charlie howl in pain and fear. Then the hell boat begins to sink below to a lava)*

**Demon Dragon:** (Roaring) You can never come back...!!!

**Charlie:** Aah! aah!

*(Charlie with the demons still attacking him. Until the scene fades back to the real world with the puppies waking up Charlie, who's still sleeping while hanging on a broom, in which Charlie in Hell turns out to be a bad dream.)*

**Brown puppy:** Charlie.

**Feamle puppy:** Charlie.

**Brown puppy:** Charlie, wake up.

**Feamle puppy:** Charlie, wake up. Wake up

(*Charlie wakes up as a broom, he's holding on, begins to tilt over and falls to the floor with a thud*)

**Pink puppy:** Did you have a bad dream?

**Yellow puppy:** Was a monster?

**Brown puppy:** Did it bite?

(*Charlie gets up and gazes his life watch, and feels reilef*)

**Charlie:** Oh, boy. It was... it was only a dream. Anne-Marie? (*walks upstairs*) Anne-Marie? Anne-Marie! (*realizing she's not there, he returns back; to the pups*) Where is that kid?

**Pink puppy:** She went to 402 Maple street. To see the wallet family.

**Charlie:** What?! What? (*to himself*) Great....

(*Charlie walks down from the attic before the scene cuts to Anne-Marie, who's at the couple's house, eating waffles for breakfest, with the couple*)

**Harold's wife:** (*making waffles; to Anne-Marie*) Did you like waffles?

**Anne-Marie:** Oh, yes, very much thank you.

**Harold:** No thank you.

**Anne-Marie:** This is the most beautiful house I've ever seen.

**Harold's wife:** (*giving her more waffles and add syrup on them*) Why, Anne-Marie. Where did you live?

**Anne-Marie:** I live with Charlie and Itchy. They are my friends.

**Harold's wife:** Oh. But what about your parents?

**Anne-Marie:** I don't have any parents.

**Harold:** Then where did you stay?

**Anne-Marie:** With Charlie and Itchy at the junkyard. (*eating her waffles*)

**Harold's wife:** Oh my... Anne-Marie, you sit right there. (*taking Harold to the hall for their private talk*) Honey, come with me. We can't let her leave here With nowhere to go.

**Harold:** I know, honey.

(*as they are talking, the scene cuts back to Anne-Marie dinning her morning meal while she hears Charlie outside*)

**Charlie:** Hey! Hey! Pssst! Come here. (*Anne-Marie inverstigates outside the window where Charlie is hiding in the flower patch*) Psst!

**Anne-Marie:** Oh, Charlie. Harold and Kate are really wonderful. They weren't upset about the wallet. They gave me real waffles with butter and syrup.

**Charlie:** (*laughs*) Really? That's great. Look, uh, ahem, I'm glad to see you, uh, you found a home for yourself.

**Anne-Marie:** Oh, do you think so?

**Charlie:** Sure, sure. In fact, uh, I, uh, i just came over to, uh...say goodbye.

**Anne-Marie:** Goodbye?

**Charlie:** Yeah. Well, I guess you won't be needing me anymore.

**Anne-Marie:** Maybe you could stay too.

**Charlie:** (*chuckles*) No, I couldn't stay. I mean, I don't want to spoil it for you. They don't want a dirty old dog like me in a nice, clean house like... like this.

**Anne-Marie:** But, Charlie.

**Charlie:** Don't worry about me. (*sinks into the patch*) I... I'll make out... somehow. (*faking coughing and wizzing*) Oh... by the way, You were the best friend I... I ever had. (*coughs*) Enjoy your waffles. (*coughs and leaves away*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*climbs out from the window to follow Charlie*) Charlie? Charlie, wait! Charlie! (*catches up to Charlie*)

**Charlie:** Changed your mind, already?

**Anne-Marie:** (*hasitantly*) Yes.

**Charlie:** Good. Then come on. Let's go back home.

**Anne-Marie:** Hmm, gee, I dunno. It seems that I'd love to live with Kate and Harold.

**Charlie:** Well, you're coming or what?

(*Anne-Marie takes one last look to Kate and Harold's house before she and Charlie wonders off. Meanwhile, at the French Market in New Orleans, a rhino walks to the town, holding on Fee, Line and Killer onto his back, with a ray gun*)

**Fee:** Is the ray gun loaded, Killer?

**Killer:** Sure is, all load and ready for firing (*his gun points to Line*)

**Line:** Be careful with this, Killer!

**Fee:** Yeah, this gun are not safe you know! Remember, this is our last chance to rid of him under our boss's orders, and when it's done, Carface will sure have the girl back and run his business in peace.

**Line:** But where is he anyway? Are sure we are gonna travel this French Market to seek Charlie's location somewhere?

**Rhino:** Shh! Boys, I can see someone's come this way.

**Fee:** Everyone, lay low. (*they lay low before Charlie and Anne-Marie enters the town*) There's Charlie and the girl. Okay, Killer, get the gun ready. A little more to the left. Try not to hit the girl, because Carface will be furious if we do, since he wants her alive. Okay, steady, steady... Hold it! Hold it... (*Killer starting up the gun*) and... Goodbye Charlie!

(*Killer starts activating the ready gun which shoots Charlie in front of Anne-Marie, much to her horror*)

**Anne-Marie:** OH NO, CHARLIE!

**Fee:** GOT HIM!

**Anne-Marie:** (*converting Charlie, who coughs, after the shooting*) Charlie!

(*but because Charlie have his life watch, he is invincible and still alive, much to Anne-Marie happily hugs him*)

**Charlie:** (*to his watch*) Oh, you beautiful little ticker. (*gets up to his feet; to Anne-Marie as she aboard on his back*) Come on. We gotta get outta here. (*they run*)

**Killer:** Oh, Fee, did you see that? He's not dead.

**Line:** I-I don't understand this. Is really this gun supposed to easily kill everyone with one shot?

**Fee:** And he's getting away with the girl. FIRE! (*pushes Killer, which causes the ray gun to shoot uncontrollably, hence shooting everywhere around the market, where a market seller hides himself from the gun's shooting and Charlie and Anne-Marie keeps dodging from the shooting bullets*) This doesn't make any bloomin' sense! Carface is not gonna believe that Charlie is way far too vulnerable! But how are we gonna explain him about this?!

**Killer:** (*as they run pass an abandoned building; still their gun shooting uncontrollably*) H-h-h-how did you stop this thing?! Oooh!

(*the scene moves to inside the abandoned building where we see the Mardi Gras probs and floats where both Charlie and Anne-Marie are hiding after escaping from the gun shooting safe and sound*)

**Charlie:** (*panting; to Anne-Marie*) Are you okay, squeaker?

**Anne-Marie:** Oh, Charlie. I thought they shot you.

**Charlie:** So did I. So did I. But Mr. Carface, alongside his henchmen, doesn't know who he's dealing with. I got a power of my own. And I'm gonna take care of him right now. And there ain't nothin' or nobody that's gonna stop me! Just you wait.

(*Suddenly the wooden floor begins to shake*)

**Anne-Marie:** Charlie...

**Charlie:** W-walk softly, kid. Walk softly. (*as the duo tries to walk slow and softly, the wooden floor suddenly breaks off to a large whole, causing both Charlie and Anne-Marie to fall down to the dark pit where they land on the shallow water with a splash*) MY WATCH! Where's my watch?!

**Anne-Marie:** (*coughs*) Where are we?

**Charlie:** (*searching through the shallow water frantically*) I don't know! We got to find that watch.

**Anne-Marie:** Maybe it's in the water.

**Charlie:** What?! No! (*coughs*) No! (*coughs. Then he listens a ticking noise*) Listen, listen! (*the ticking noise stops*) Oh, no! No! It stopped! (*collapse into the water*) Goodbye. Goodbye, Anne-Marie. (*lays down in the water*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*shaking Charlie*) Goodbye? Charlie, where are you going, Charlie? (*underwater, Charlie then spots his watch being snatched away by the unseen source, just until Anne-Marie grab his muzzle out from a water*) CHARLIE!

**Charlie:** (*watches his watch being sweep away*) There it is! What's going on here? Gads, we're haunted.

**Anne-Marie:** (*she and Charlie got carried away by the unseen force underwater too*) Charlie!

**Charlie:** Aah! (*the scene fades black before a second later where it fades back where Charlie is in an giant bird cage being carried by native mice to the end of a dock*) (*to Anne-Marie as the mice chanting*) What did they say? Tell them to give me back my watch.

**Anne-Marie:** (*also in a cage*) I can't, Charlie. They talk funny.

**Charlie:** I don't care! (*at the end of the dock, one of the native rats places Charlie's life watch in front of a pole where Charlie reaches his paw to grab it, which he did*) Got it! Uh-oh.. (*as the mice pushes Charlie and Anne-Marie to an small island where it's filled with bones and skulls. They land on it just to cause Charlie watch to fly off from him to the other side*) OH NO!!!

(*the mice dance and chanting while just then, out from the doorway, an giant figure swims to and the island as Charlie and Anne-Marie watches over*)

**Anne-Marie:** Charlie, what's that moving in the water?

**Charlie:** I don't know. (*out from the water revels a giant king alligator*) Anne-Marie!

**Anne-Marie:** Yes?

**Charlie:** We're gonna die. (*the gator walks towards the duo, crushing skulls and bone one by one, and getting closer to Charlie's watch*) Please! My watch!

(*but his watch drops away from the gator's foot after his one last* *stomp*)

**King Gator:** (*to Charlie as he grabs him in the cage*) You look like a tasty New Orleans canine gumbo!

**Anne-Marie:** (*to King Gator*) NO! Don't eat him please!

(*But King Gator puts Charlie in his mouth and starts close to devour, but before he did, Charlie lets out a loud howl, in the musical tone, inside of his mouth, much to the gator, impressed by Charlie's voice, opens his mouth to grab him out and opens the cage to free Charlie where he reclaims his watch*)

**King Gator:** (*to Charlie*) How can you expect me to eat a voice as sumptuous as this? (*singing*) ♪When I hear a dulcet tone like that. It gives me a big thrill!♪

(*King Gator's tail hits the ground, causing the land to rumble so hard, even it cause Anne-Marie to fell into a water*)

**Anne-Marie:** Help, Charlie! Oh!

**King Gator:** ♪I can't eat a singer. I never could, I never will.♪ (*a giant peril lands onto the small hill*) Ha ha ha! (*the bottom half of the sea shell rises up surrounds the island, where it then turns into a pink and rubbery floor*) (*to Charlie as he puts on his swimming hat on his head; speaking*) Oh, what do you call that voice, little fella? That a baritone or a tenor?

### Scene 3

(*Meanwhile, fading to Charlie's Place, Itchy, at the bar, humming "You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down" while working, while Charlie's Place is empty*)

**Itchy:** Rocky! Relieve Jocko on guard duty. I need some help in here. Rocky! Rocky? Um, Jocko? Rocky. (*as Carface slowly approaches behind Itchy, which he turns around and startling and backs away to see him nose to nose*) Carface! (*smiles in his hesitation*) W-whatta surprise! What're you doing here?

**Carface:** Where's Charlie? Where's the girl?

**Itchy:** (*hesitated*) I-I don't know...

**Carface:** (*furiously, with his arms, swipes and breaks the bottles of wines, as Itchy ducks*) I think you do. What do you think, boys? (*alongside with Carface, a group of animal thugs rises up to the bar*) Now talk, Itchy.... Where are they?!

**Itchy:** (*scared*) Look, look, Carface. Listen to me out. I exactly don't know where they are, as I stated before. (*Carface growls as he raises his claw to him*) Uh, please, don't do this. Uh, Charlie....

**Carface:** (*smiles evilly*) To Charlie... with love.

**Itchy:** P-p-please g-get out...

**Carface:** If you don't tell us where Charlie and the girl are, (*sarcastically*) we're afraid that we have to give this casino some refurbishment, would you like that?

**Itchy:** This is a very bad idea. (*Itchy dodges as Carface staps the floor with his claw. Then Carface's thugs are starting to attack him*) Yo! Charlie!

(*the scene cuts to the same abounded church, where we hear Anne-Marie coughing*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*voice over*) This was very crazy. I hope you can help about this.

**Charlie:** (*voice-over*) I think you needs a vet?

**Flo:** (*voice over*) Charlie, she's a little human girl. She needs a doctor.

**Charlie:** (*voice-over*) Doctor. Right. Doctor. I don't know any doctors. But I'll find one. (*he looks out the window to see an owl, who is a doctor*) You, owl. Are you a doctor?

**Dr. Owl:** Who? Me?

**Charlie:** Stop that joke already? This a serious! Are you a doctor or not?

**Dr. Owl:** Of course I am. What did you expect, a nurse?

**Charlie:** I thought so. Come here please. (*Dr. Owl flies inside the church and follows Charlie to the room where Anne-Marie lays; coughing*) That a look.

**Dr. Owl:** And what have here? A human child. What's the bad case of her?

**Charlie:** She have the flu or something.

**Dr. Owl:** Flu? Let me check. Little girl, say "ah".

**Anne-Marie:** (*opens her mouth*) Ah...

(*Dr. Owl uses his stick to check her mouth, next he feels her head*)

**Charlie:** Well, what're doing?

**Dr. Owl:** I am checking her. Well, she haven't the flu. She does have a cold.

**Charlie:** Anything she can be cured, doc?

**Dr. Owl:** Well, I have a medicine that can cure the cold and flu. (*hands a bottle of medicine to Charlie*) That'll cure her in a jiff. Just give to her, let here rest for about a few minutes and she'll be recovered. So I gotta go and help other sick and wealthless animals now. Ta-ta! (*flies off*)

**Charlie:** (*looks at the bottle*) Cure cold and flu? (*Anne-Marie drinks it)* Things I do to her health.

**Anne-Marie:** Thanks, Charlie.

**Charlie:** Well, now sleep it up, while I came to find something.

(*cuts the nave*)

**Itchy:** (*seen injured by Carface's attack*) Charlie? Charlie? You're there?

**Charlie:** (*from the balcony*) Hey! Be quiet! Anne-Marie's sick and needs her sleep.

**Itchy:** Oh, you're breaking my heart. Maybe I should go upstairs and kiss her good night.

**Charlie:** Itch'? Itch', what happened to you?

**Itchy:** What happened to me? You want to know what happened to me?

**Charlie:** Yes.

**Itchy:** I'll tell you what happened to me. (*climbs upstairs*) Carface happened to me, with about 50 of his thugs.

**Charlie:** Oh, that dirty rat. I'm sorry, Itch. I really am sorry.

**Itchy:** Well, look what else happened while you were sidetracked. (*shows Charlie an huge flame at the junkyard, far away, which happens to be Charlie's Place casino, destroyed by Carface and his thugs*) See that? That's our place. You were going to fix Carface. Well, he fixed us! Ya see, Charlie? It's gone too far. You wanted revenge on Carface, and I said, "No. Please, let's get out of the town", but I stayed because... because you're my friend. Then you wanted to rescue Anne-Marie, and I said, "this is crazy!" But I helped ya and then we got to dress Anne-Marie and read her stories. And she wants we should feed the poor. And the whole while I'm thinkin', "This is stupid! She's gonna get us killed!" But I stay because I'm your friend. But tonight... tonight... Charlie, he tried to kill me! He tried to kill me, Charlie, and you was out gallivanting with Annie! (*breaking up his tears*) I say we should get Anne-Marie a home before Carface encounters her, and get out of the town, Charlie, you and me, Then call it even.

**Charlie:** Oh, Itchy. Now the casino's gone. We got to start all over. We need Anne-Marie more than ever.

**Itchy:** No, Charlie! You're crazy. It's not business anymore, it's personal.

**Charlie:** Ah, come on, Itchy. Sure, it's just business. I mean...

**Itchy:** I know you're feel sympathy with Annie. You've gone soft. You're caring about her. Listen, if you're carring about her, you should get her a home before Carface finds her.

**Charlie:** Who? Anne-Marie?

**Itchy:** Yes.

**Charlie:** (*angry*) Look, Itchy, I don't care about the girl! I tell her things now and then. I pretend to be her best friend, But it's baloney!

**Itchy:** I thought I was your best friend...

**Charlie:** YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND! With her it's just business! It's always been business. I'm using the girl! And when we're done with her, I'll dump her in an orphanage! Is that okay with you?!

**Itchy:** Sure, buddy. Anything you say. (*looks right behind Charlie to see Anne-Marie who got up and climbed down, realizing she over-heard Charlie's argument*) Uh-oh...

**Charlie:** Now what?

**Itchy:** (*points him to Anne-Marie*) Look....

(*Charlie turns to see Anne-Marie, who is breaking to tears*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*sobbing softly*) I-is it true, Charlie? You've lied to me?

**Charlie:** (*hesitantly*) Uh... Anne-Marie. kid. Squeaker. It's not what you think. Please listen to me. I'm still your friend.

**Anne-Marie:** No! You're not my friend. You're a bad dog! (*runs off*)

**Charlie:** (*to Anne-Marie*) Squeaker?

**Itchy:** Well, Charlie. I just know your scheme just hurt her.

**Charlie:** (*runs after Anne-Marie downstairs*) Anne-Marie! Wait stop! (*jumps over Anne-Marie and blocks her path*) STOP! Let me explain. Okay, I'll admit this. I used you because of your ability to talk to animals. But I still love you as friend...

**Anne-Marie:** (*angry and tearfully*) NO! You didn't say you love me! And as the matter of fact, you didn't even rescued me at all! I heard you said that-that you, all the long, used me to make yourself money all because of my ability. Is that also why you've decided to steal Harold and Kate's wallet for?

**Charlie:** (*sadly*) Now, now believe me, kid, please let me explain you the truth and--

**Anne-Marie:** Nah-uh, you let me explain you the truth! This whole time we met, I used to thought you cared about me, but instead, this out that all you care is money, your business, and yourself! And you are lot more like Mr. Carface to me!

**Charlie:** (*angry*) Now, that's enough, Anne-Marie! You got only five seconds to apologize to me!

**Anne-Marie:** No! (*she hits Charlie to the wall with her stuff bunny and runs off before Charlie gets up*)

**Charlie:** Anne-Marie! Where are you going?

(*We see Anne-Marie running, tripping over to the exit and gets up and continues running out from the church until stops, and slowly sits behind a tree and sobs, while unbeknownst to her where Fee, Line and Killer are watching her and have their bag ready to trap her)*

**Fee:** Boys, looks like this is gonna be easy to capture her.

(*Thunderclaps is heard. Charlie runs through the nave to chase after Anne-Marie, before stopping to gaze down to Anne-Marie's stuff bunny, which left behind. Thunderclaps is heard and Anne-Marie is heard screaming, caught Charlie's ears, as the rain pours down to the land*)

**Charlie:** Carface! (*runs off*) Anne-Marie!

(*Itchy shows up outside, in front of Anne-Marie's bunny doll, alongside Flo*)

**Flo:** (*to Itchy points him to the bunny doll*) Take this to 402 Maple Street. She has friends there. They'll know what to do and hurry!

(*And with that, Itchy take Anne-Marie's bunny doll and takes off with flash before the scene fades to him arriving at New Orleans. He hops on the sofa, which stood outside, and begins barking to another dog up to the apartment's balcony for attention*)

**Dog #1:** Who's there? (*looks down to Itchy*) Hi, Itchy. What brought you here?

**Itchy:** (*panting*) I'm-I'm looking for 402 Maple Street. Please direct me right away!

**Dog #1:** What's 402 Maple Street?

**Itchy:** Would ya just tell me where it is? Please.

**Dog #1:** Why?

**Itchy:** Because my best friend Charlie's in trouble and there's a little girl who got real sick.

(*Over hearing Itchy, at the other apparent, another dogs gives a direction to him*)

**Dog #2:** 402 Maple's over by the firehouse.

**Itchy:** Thanks. (*takes Anne-Marie's doll and runs off*)

**Dog #3:** (*to the other dogs*) What was that all about?

**Dog #1:** (*barking*) Charlie's in trouble and a sick little girl too.

**Dog #2:** Well, tarnation!

(*Dogs sounds alert by barking loudly. Far away, a cow and a rooster wakes up to hear the barking noises in the decadence*)

**Rooster:** Hear something?

**Cow:** (*in southern accent*) Yes, it's sounded the dogs are sending the alert far away from New Orleans.

**Rooster:** Well, what're they saying?

**Cow:** Wait. (*listening the barking*) Oh, dear! How dreadful!

**Rooster:** What dreadful?

**Cow:** A dog named Charlie and a poor little girl are in big peril. We must sound the alert too.

**Rooster:** You got it. Sound it away!

(*The rooster and the cow, also sending the alert by crowng and mooing loudly, which the camera quickly pans to the local zoo, which there, the alert sound is heard by the beavers which make him uses their tails to knock on a hollow wood, which is heard by an elephant which make him trumpet, which heard by the lions which make them roar, then the flamingos squawk, the lemurs calling, monkeys screeching, peacocks cawing, zebras wooping, and the whole animals and monsters and aliens and dinosaurs and clown monster beasts and jaw monsters and martians and beasts and dragons and sea monsters and creatures and demons and croodaceous creatures and hybrids and alebrijes sounding the alert*)

## Act 5

### Scene 1

(*at the casino ship, where we cut inside where Killer, Fee and Line are arriving, with their bag filled with something inside, to Carface*)

**Carface:** Did you three idiots get the girl?

**Fee:** Yup, from the old abandoned church (*opens the bag to reveal Anne-Marie*) right in here.

**Carface:** (*Anne-Marie backs away, terrifying, as Carface laughs evilly*) Finally....

**Anne-Marie:** Mr. Carface! Oh no! (*coughs*) W-what did you want from me?

**Carface:** Nothing you're concern, girl. Don't you realize it's not nice to run away from me to strangers like that?

**Killer:** (*to Carface*) Well, I'll be, boss, she's sick. What did you want us to do?

**Carface:** Lock her up where she can never escape. And by the way, did you three also take care of Charlie?

**Line:** Not yet, boss. We'll still working on that.

**Carface:** Well, I'll think about how to kill him if he comes here. Let's see...

**Anne-Marie:** Leave Charlie alone, Mr. Carface! (*coughs at Carface*)

**Carface:** (*disgusted*) Grrr... Fee, Line, Killer, place this girl in the cage.

**Fee:** Right. (*He, Line and Killer takes Anne-Marie away*) Come on, you little brat!

**Anne-Marie:** You cannot do this, Carface! Please don't do this! Wait until Charlie gets here. (*coughs*) Let me go, you bad cat!

**Fee:** Shut up and keep moving, kid! Plus you're sick, how would you become like this?

(*Outside, Charlie runs through the forest and stops to the casino boat*)

**Charlie:** I hope I won't be too late to save you, Anne-Marie. (*runs and climbs up to the casino; to himself*) Oh, Itchy was right, what was I thinking? And I even should have a chance to remark her that I have my sympathy with her for sure. This is my fault. (*It cuts to Anne-Marie locked in a cage, sobbing and coughing, laying down on the crate before Charlie appears*) Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie.

**Anne-Marie:** Charlie. (*coughing*) I glad you--

**Charlie:** Shhh... Come on, squeaker. Come on. I'm going to get you out of here.

**Anne-Marie:** I am sorry, Charlie, but I'm tired and still sick.

**Charlie:** You are still sick, aren't you?

**Anne-Marie:** Yes. (*coughing*)

**Charlie:** (*enter inside the cage and holds up Anne-Marie*) Just hold on, kiddo. I'm going to take you back to the wallet family.

**Anne-Marie:** (*smiles*) Thank you, Charlie.. (*coughing*)

(*Charlie and Anne-Marie overhear Carface laughs, before Charlie looks up to see Carface and his thugs*)

**Line:** Hi, Charlie.

**Fee:** Whatta surprise, ain't it?

**Carface:** Isn't this just the sweetest thing?

**Killer:** It is, boss. It really is. It reminds me of when Lassie rescued--

**Carface:** Shut up!

**Anne-Marie:** Charlie, I-I think you should get out of here and save yourself, and don't worry about me. It's a trap.

**Charlie:** (*places Anne-Marie back on the crate*) No. I can't leave you. I'll handle him and his thugs!

**Carface:** (*to his thugs*) Take him, boys.

(*battle starts on as Charlie and the animal thugs are fighting while Anne-Marie watches in her horror and worrisome. Meanwhile, at Harold and Kate's house, Harold overhears barking sounds and animal sounds coming from outside. He opens the door where the noise is sounding louder before he closes, much to tired Kate walks downstairs*)

**Kate:** (*yawns*) What is it dear?

**Harold:** Dogs and Animals. (*again opens the door to see the group of dogs still barking and group of animals and monsters and aliens and dinosaurs and clown monster beasts and jaw monsters and martians and beasts and dragons and sea monsters and creatures and demons and croodaceous creatures and hybrids and alebrijes sounding*) Where did they all come from?

(*Then, Itchy rushes inside and drops Anne-Marie's bunny doll in front of Kate, much to her backing away*)

**Kate:** Harold! Harold, do something.

(*at Carface's boat, a boar thug suffocates Charlie before Charlie gives him a punch to free himself. However, a bear punches Charlie and all the thugs grabs him and ties him up onto the anchor, where he struggles trying to escape as he kicks away a weasel thug. The weasel bites Charlie's foot causes him to let out a loud howl. Outside, from the boat, a green figure appears out from the water as it swims towards the boat. Back inside, Charlie is seen being carrying down on an anchor to the water, much to Anne-Marie looks on helplessly*)

**Anne-Marie:** Oh no. (*glares at Carface*) You monster! When I get outta this cage, I'll---

**Carface:** Watch your language, girl! (*watches Charlie being carrying down to the water*) Ha ha ha! So you see, Charlie, This story has a happy ending. I keep the girl and make a fortune. And you... you get to go to Heaven. (*puts a candy cane to his mouth. As he slowly being carry down to the water, Charlie franticlly uses the candy cane to hold up his life watch to prevent it from being stopped*) You don't want to go to Heaven, Charlie?

(*Suddenly, the rumble is being interrupted and crash through the ship comes a giant green alligator, much to Carface's thugs runs away in terror*)

**Thug:** ABANDON THE SHIP! Let's get out of here!

(*The gator crashes outside from the boat, which it turns out it is King Gator to the rescue*)

**King Gator:** (*singing*) **♪**Oooooooooooooh! Together!**♪** Ha, ha, ha, ha!

(*King Gator turns around back to the ship, now sinking. The camera cuts back in the ship Carface and his henchmen, holding Anne-Marie, leaves Charlie as he sinks down into the water. They stop on the top platform where they watch King Gator returns inside the boat and takes the dive underwater Underwater Charlie watches as King Gator uses his teeth to free Charlie from the achor, which he did, as Charlie swims up back to the surface and hops on one of the platforms, much to shock Carface and his gang and amaze Anne-Marie*)

**Carface:** (*fuming*) Oh! Argh! Arrgh! *ARRRRGGGH!!!!*

### Scene 2

(*Meanwhile the camera cuts to Itchy, the dog and animals stampde, Flo and her puppies and Kate and Harold runs off to the rescue mission. Itchy climbs up onto the statue of a cannon*)

**Itchy:** Come on! (*looks back*) AAAAHHH!!! (*Behind Itchy is a dog climbs up the cannon before Itchy hides inside a cannon to move out its path. After, Itchy peaks out just before the gambling chaiulaua and Squad Car the rat, riding on him, bounces off Itchy's nose*)

(*The animals and dogs continues on the mission before the camera returns cutting back to the casino boat where Charlie is climbing to the platform*)

**Charlie:** You'll pay for trying to kill me, Carface! Why'd you demand to do this to me? We were partners!

The fight begins as Carface launches to Charlie, who he ducks as Carface misses and slips to the edge of the platform, where he holds on the edge to his life and climbs up back where he continues to fight with Charlie. Charlie pushes Carface down to the other side of the platform where Charlie climbs down and the two dogs continues fighting. King Gator however, headbutts the ship leaving Anne-Marie behind where she slips to the edge of the platform. She holds on the edge to prevent herself from fall, watched by Charlie

**Charlie:** Anne-Marie!

(*Charlie climbs up to the platform as the ship continues to shake, causing a barrel of oil to spill out a oil liquid onto a electrical device and on to the water, which causes the electric device to explode with flames and setting the oil on fire on the water, much to fear Anne-Marie as she is still hanging on the edge*)

**Charlie:** Anne-Marie! (*grabbing Anne-Marie back on the platform successfully Anne-Marie is back on the platform safely*) Now, get going! (*Anne-Marie makes a run for it, but Charlie is ambushed by Carface, pinning him down on the floor and throws Charlie's life watch down onto the debris floating on the flaming water. Carface is about to finish Charlie until Anne-Marie, came to the rescue, knocks Carface over with a broken tree branchKing Gator, once more, headbutts the ship, causing both Anne-Marie and Carface slips over to the edge of the platform. Anne-Marie holds on tight on the edge with Carface holding on her foot. But loosing his grib, Carface plunge down underwater where he face nose-to-nose with King Gator, smiling*)

**King Gator:** Mmmmm.... a Delicious.

(*Carface screams in terror and swims away with King Gator chasing after him to the large pipe. Back on dryland, Anne-Marie also starts to loose her grip on the edge and fell off onto the floating create unconsciously, much to Charlie's horror*)

**Charlie:** Anne-Marie! (*with that moment, he makes a jump down to the water, where he first grabs the watch from the debris and swims to the unconscious Anne-Marie, where unfortunately for him she fell off into the water*) Anne-Marie! (*he places his watch on the create and dives underwater to grab Anne-Marie, which he did as he's then swimming up back to the surface, but before he do so, a falling flaming plank lands onto the create where it causes Charlie's watch to drop down underwater. Charlie quickly grabs his watch, but just after left he let go Anne-Marie, but drop his watch, much to Charlie's struggles in confusion and can't even hold his breathe underwater so long. He attempt grab it, but miss. So Charlie deiced to swim up with Anne-Marie back to the surface leaving his watch, which it lands on the ground, causing to open. At the surface, the duo finally swims up back, gasping and coughing for air, where Charlie places Anne-Marie, waking up from her coma, onto the floating debris*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*moaning and coughing*) Oooh... Charlie. My head hurts. I don't think I can swim away.

**Charlie:** No worries, kid. This what will help you get out of this joint before this ship sinks.

**Anne-Marie:** But, what about you? Are you coming me too?

**Charlie:** Unfortunately, Anne-Marie, you're better luck to be on your own now.

**Anne-Marie:** What? How'd you able to save yourself?

**Charlie:** Well, it's die trying for me to risk my life. Trust me. This's the way things are. Unless I'd be lucky to able to survive from this risk.

**Anne-Marie:** Then you'll stay with me at Harold and Kate's, if you live?

**Charlie:** Yeah maybe, kid.

**Anne-Marie:** (*hugs him*) Oh, thank you, Charlie and thank you for your care to rescue me from Mr. Carface, I know you're not just a bad dog after all. You're always my friend.

**Charlie:** Yeah, yeah, I know, Anne-Marie. You too. And I'm sorry I lied to you before. (*Anne-Marie releases him*) But no time to talk more, it's time for you to go. Lay down and hold on! (*Anne-Marie lays down on the debris where Charlie push her safely away outside through the giant hole*) You can make it! You can make it, kid!

(*As Anne-Marie finally made outside safely from the boat, Charlie struggles and dives down underwater to reach his life watch. But unfortunately, since it is underwater, it is cause to stop ticking and hence, the black bubbles bubbling up to the screen before the camera cuts at the small beach where Itchy, Flo and the rest of the animals shows up and looks on to their shock*)

**Itchy:** (*sadly*) Charlie...

(*Knowing their rescue for Charlie is too late as Charlie already died at the boat, unseen, as it sank below the water. Afterwards, Anne-Marie, still sick, on the debris finally shows up to the beach, with an redeemed Killer pushing her. Harold, Kate, Fee and Line also shows up and looks on in their horror, alongside with the police and ambulance*)

### Scene 3

(*The camera cuts to Harold and Kate's house where we cut inside the guests' bedroom, which is now Anne-Marie's room, where Anne-Marie is seen sleeping and a sadden Itchy walks and jumps on the bed, where he places Anne-Marie's bunny doll close to her and then sleeps with her, just before, unbeknownst to them, the wind is blown with dead leaves inside from the opened window. The camera cuts outside where, far away, we see a giant red smoke appears with the Hellhound the dragon. in city Back inside the room, a red smoke steams inside where every room turns red, just before, appearing out from the smoke comes Charlie, in Ghoyr form, jumps inside the room where he comforts Anne-Marie in bed*)

**Charlie:** (*to Anne-Marie; tearfully*) Oh, squeaker.... I'm sorry... I'm so very sorry.....

(*cuts outside*)

**Demon Dragon:** (*Roaring*) Charlie....

(*Just then, a poodle appears in the sky just Poodle and Dragon before the Dragon disappears. The poodle flies inside Anne-Marie's room*)

**Poodle angel:** (*voice-over; about Anne-Marie*) Charlie, you gave your life for her come home.

**Charlie:** What about Anne-Marie?

**Poodle angel:** (*voice-over*) Say goodbye, Charlie.

(*Charlie hops on Anne-Marie's bed and sadly takes his one last look of her, before Anne-Marie yawns and wakes up to see Charlie, seemly feeling better from her cold*)

**Anne-Marie:** (*happily*) Charlie.

**Charlie:** (*happily*) Yeah, it's me. How you feeling, kid?

**Anne-Marie:** Okay. How are you?

**Charlie:** Well... I've come to say goodbye.

**Anne-Marie:** Where are you going?

**Charlie:** Uh, just on a little trip. Listen, Anne-Marie, I... I want you to do something for me. I want you to take care of Itchy, Ya know, since I'm gone, you've got a home now, and he doesn't have anybody.

**Poodle angel:** (*voice-over*) Charlie, Come home.

(*With that, Charlie flies off up throw the light back to Heaven, where the scene fades to the clouds where an montage with Charlie flying is shown, as an choir is heard while we see a "The End" card and the credits roll. But the choir then stop by an interruption by Charlie*)

**Charlie:** (*voice-over*) Hold it! Hold it! I know we're dead up here, but so's the music! Heat it up a little.

**Male voice-over:** Honey, you know it!

(*the song "Hallelujah" is heard*)

**Charlie:** (*voice-over*) That's nice. That's nice.

(*the credits roll and the song continues, while the camera cuts to the watch department where we see an furious Carface, as an angel, rips off his golden wings, strips off his robe, and throws his halo before snatches a alarm clock to set up*)

**Carface:** (*in his fury*) ARRGH!! I'll get that gator if it's the last thing I do!

**Poodle angel**: Touch that clock, and you can never come back.

**Carface**: Shut up!

**Whippet angel**: (*angry as she chases Carface, now stealing the alarm clock*) I SAID, TOUCH THAT CLOCK, AND YOU CAN NEVER COME BACK!

**Charlie**: (*happily watches the chase before turning to the audience*) He'll be back.

*(Charlie winks and drops down to the clouds, leaving his halo behind before Charlie snatches it back. The credits continues to roll and as well as "Hallelujah" before it ends and switch from "Heaven is a Place on Earh", sung by Hanazuki and the Pussycats, to the jazzy-instrumental version of "You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down" until the credits end)*

}}***An All Dogs Christmas Carol*** (also unofficially known as ***All Dogs Go to Heaven 3***) is a 1998 animated television film, which was released direct-to-video in November 1998. It is the final installment in the *All Dogs Go to Heaven* film franchise and also serves as the series finale to the

## Plot:

The film opens with angel puppies talking to Annabelle (Bebe Neuwirth). They ask her to tell them a story. She begins to tell them about how Carface saved Christmas with a little guidance from Charlie (Steven Weber) and Itchy (Dom DeLuise).

The movie begins in an alleyway with Charlie, Itchy, Sasha (Sheena Easton), and their friends decorating for a Christmas party. Everyone is enjoying themselves as Charlie and Itchy tend to the young puppies. Charlie checks on Sasha and the money collection for Timmy's operation for his bad leg. Unfortunately, Carface (Ernest Borgnine ) and Killer (Charles Nelson Reilly ) arrive and start collecting debts from everyone. After Charlie refused to pay Carface back, as his debt payment is not due yet, he blows a mysterious hypnotic animal whistle that hypnotizes them all and causes them to give Carface and Killer all of their bones. Before leaving, Carface and Killer make off with all the food, presents, and money which includes that for Timmy's operation and head off cackling.

After Charlie and Itchy fail several times to get the stolen goods from Carface, it is revealed that he is working for Annabelle's evil cousin, Belladonna (Neuwirth), who plots to use a massive version of the hypnotic dog whistle to hypnotize every dog in San Francisco into stealing the masters' Christmas presents, causing them to be thrown out of their houses and abandoned by their owners, much in the same way Carface used to be when he was a puppy. Charlie plots to scare "the Dickens" out of him and asks Annabelle for some aid, resulting in them being transformed into characters from *A Christmas Carol*. Itchy becomes the Ghost of Christmas Past, Sasha becomes the Ghost of Christmas Present, and Charlie becomes the Ghost of Christmas Future (as a reference of *The Mask*). They visit Carface and make him feel guilty about stealing everything, especially the operation money; Sasha tells him that without it Timmy will be dead, which will cause another — his own, as Charlie shows him that because of his actions, he will cause his own death, and he will be condemned to Hell for eternity.

Carface, having seen himself in Timmy, must stop the whistle just in time to prevent the dogs and animals from stealing the gifts. Belladonna flies into a frenzied rage and is about to kill him and Killer when she is frozen solid by a massive amount of snow caused by Annabelle.

Meanwhile, with Charlie and the gang, it begins to snow. Everyone celebrates, but Itchy remarks that it's a shame that they didn't have any presents to give to the puppies. Just then, Carface appears on a sled pulled by Killer, and gives them everything back, and more. He even gives them Timmy's money box back, which is full to the top. He turns to leave, and Sasha asks him to stay and join the party. Carface respectfully declines the invitation, saying he's going to visit his mother instead, but wishes everyone a merry Christmas.

Annabelle finishes the story by saying "Merry Christmas!" to the audience (whom the puppies wave at), and Charlie and Itchy wish the same thing.

***All Dogs Go to Heaven 2*** is a 1996 American animated musical fantasy adventure film, and a sequel to Goldcrest Films' animated film ***All Dogs Go to Heaven*** (1989). Produced by MGM/UA Family Entertainment and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation, it was co-directed by Paul Sabella and Larry Leker. Dom DeLuise reprises his role from the first film, alongside new cast members Charlie Sheen, Ernest Borgnine and Bebe Neuwirth, respectively. New characters are voiced by Sheena Easton, Adam Wylie and George Hearn.

Don Bluth, the director of the original film, had no involvement with it. It was the second of only two theatrical sequels to a film directed by Don Bluth to not involve Bluth himself, the first being *An American Tail: Fievel Goes West*, as 13 sequels to *The Land Before Time* and a single sequel to *The Secret of NIMH* were direct-to-video releases along with two sequels of *An American Tail* in 1998–2000, as well as *An All Dogs Christmas Carol*. This was MGM's last theatrically released animated film until *Igor* (2008). It had a DVD double feature release with the first one on March 14, 2006 and January 18, 2011. It was also released on Blu-ray on March 29, 2011. The film also served as the series premiere for the *All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series*.

## Plot

Nearly 60 years after **the events of the first film**, Charlie B. Barkin welcomes his friend, Itchy, to Heaven, but states that he is disillusioned by the afterlife. Their old nemesis, Carface Caruthers, steals Gabriel's Horn, but loses it somewhere over San Francisco in his attempt to escape with it. When the head angel Annabelle announces the horn's theft, Charlie submits his candidacy to retrieve it, reminding Annabelle of his familiarity with street life. Annabelle sends Charlie and Itchy to Earth to retrieve it, and gives them one miracle to use. Upon arrival in San Francisco, Charlie and Itchy attempt to indulge in their old habits, but they discover that they are ghosts, and therefore unable to interact with the physical world. At a tavern where Charlie is enchanted by a beautiful and charming Irish Setter named Sasha La Fleur, Carface appears in a corporeal form granted by a red dog collar created by Red, an elderly dog fortune teller who gives Charlie and Itchy equivalent collars effective for a single day. Unbeknownst to the duo, Red is actually a large demonic cat/dog like creature who intends to take the horn for himself with Carface's help.

Charlie and Itchy meet Sasha and an 8-year-old human boy she is looking after named David, who ran away from home to become a street magician. Charlie uses his miracle to grant Sasha the ability to converse with David, who comes to believe that Charlie is his guardian angel. Charlie sees the horn being taken into an SFPD police station and recovers it, but in his reluctance to return to Heaven, he hides it in a lobster trap. After David's street performance ends in failure, he finally reveals that he believes that his father and stepmother, who are expecting a new baby, will care less for him once it is born. Charlie persuades him otherwise and promises to return him home, but privately expresses to Sasha his doubts on being able to fulfill his promise. Charlie and Itchy's collars vanish, and they once more become ghosts.

Carface kidnaps David and orders Charlie to bring Gabriel's horn to Alcatraz Island and give it to Red in exchange for David's life. Determined to keep his word, Charlie satisfies Red's demand, and Red uses the horn to capture and imprison Heaven's canine angels in Alcatraz while opening a portal to permanently connect the human world to Hell. After a struggle against Red, Charlie regains the horn and plays it to free the angels and send Red and Carface – the latter having sold his soul for his collar – back to Hell. Charlie and Itchy are spirited away to Heaven, and Charlie gives the horn back to Annabelle in exchange for a new life. Charlie bids farewell to Itchy, who decides to remain in Heaven, and while Annabelle and Itchy return to Heaven, Charlie returns to San Francisco and happily reunites with Sasha and David. David returns home and reconciles with his relieved father and stepmother. Charlie and Sasha, who have become mates, are adopted by David's family as pets.

## Voice cast

Burt Reynolds, Vic Tayback and Melba Moore are replaced by Charlie Sheen, Ernest Borgnine and Bebe Neuwirth; however, three characters were written out of the sequel. Anne-Marie was written out of the story, out of respect to her actress Judith Barsi who was murdered on July 25, 1988, while Killer and Flo were written out of the story as well.

Main characters
* Burt Reynolds as Charles "Charlie" B. Barkin, a German Shepherd who returns from Heaven to find Gabriel's Horn. It is revealed that as a puppy, he ran away from home (which explains the absence of Charlie's parents, who were briefly shown in the original film in the records book in the song "Let Me Be Surprised"), a point he mentions to David to convince him to return home. Charlie Sheen replaced
	+ Jesse Corti as Charlie's singing voice.
* Dom DeLuise as Itchiford "Itchy" Dachshund, Charlie's best friend. He wants to find the horn and go straight back to Heaven. Dom DeLuise was the only original actor to reprise his role from the first film.
* Sheena Easton as Sasha la Fleur, an attractive Irish Setter, talented lounge singer and Charlie's love interest.
* Adam Wylie as David, a disillusioned 8-year-old human boy and Sasha's owner. He believes that Charlie and Itchy are his guardian angels sent to get him back home safely. He replaces the role of Anne-Marie from the original film.
* George Hearn as Red, a large beast-like demonic cat from Hell and the main antagonist. His goal is to imprison the dogs of Heaven, overthrow humanity, and permanently join Hell with the mortal world. To manipulate his victims, he disguises himself as a blinded elderly dog through his ability to transform (shapeshifting).
* Madeline Kahn as Annabelle, the archangel Whippet in Heaven. She summons Charlie and Itchy to retrieve Gabriel's stolen Horn.
* Ernest Borgnine as Carface Caruthers, Charlie's arch-enemy, a Pit bull/bulldog mix, who becomes a henchman to Red through a deal between them. Contradictory to his aggressive personality in the original film, he appears quite slow-witted and timid in this film.

Supporting characters
* Wallace Shawn as Labrador MC, the duplicitous MC at Sasha's lounge.
* Hamilton Camp as Gavin, a Chihuahua. He waits for dogs especially a dog who puts on some weight to be healthy called Fluffy.
* Dan Castellaneta as Tall Customs Dog
* Pat Corley as Officer McDowell
* Jim Cummings as Jingles, a Yorkshire Terrier who got kicked out of the sing-off, but was given the first place bone by Sasha.
* Bobby Di Cicco as Tom, David's father.
* Annette Helde as Claire, David's loving, pregnant step-mother.
* Marabina Jaimes as Officer Reyes
* Tony Jay as Reginald
* Maurice LaMarche as Lost & Found Officer
* Steve Mackall as Short Customs Dog
* Kevin Michael Richardson as Ace the St. Bernard / Officer Andrews

## Production

David Feiss served as an in-house supervising animator, storyboard artist and character designer for the state-side production. Much of the film's animation was outsourced to foreign studios, such as Wang Film Productions in Taipei, Taiwan (from which Yang Chih Tsang was the directing animator) and its Bangkok, Thailand-based division (from which Jov Huang and Shih-fu Liao were supervising animators), Phoenix Animation in Toronto, Ontario (from which Julian Harris was the directing animator), A-Film in Copenhagen, Denmark (from which Jorgen Lerdam was the directing animator), Dino Animation in London, England (from which Dino Athanassiou was a sequence director), Red Rover in London, England (from which Andy Knight was a directing animator), Scowling Wolf in St Leonards, Australia (from which Peter Sheehan and Richard Zaloudek were art directors), Catflap Animation in Crows Nest, Australia (from which Maurice Glacomini was a supervising animator), Franck & Franck in Paris, France (from which Emmanuel Franck was a supervising animator) and Screen Animation Ireland LTD ( formerly Don Bluth Entertainment) in Dublin, Ireland.

## Music

Mark Watters composed the score for the film. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil wrote the lyrics and music for the songs. A soundtrack was released on January 20, 1996, by MCA Records on vinyl record, compact cassette and CD.

### Songs

Original songs performed in the film include:

## Release

### Theatrical

*All Dogs Go to Heaven 2* was originally scheduled for release in holiday 1995, but was later pushed back to its current date of March 1996 to avoid competition with Disney/Pixar's *Toy Story* and Amblimation's *Balto*.

### Box office

Although the budget is unknown, the film earned $2,256,118 during its opening weekend and grossed $8,620,678 in its theatrical release. It had the worst opening weekend for an animated film playing in over 2,000 theaters until *Delgo* in 2008.

### Critical reception

The film has a 20% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 5 reviews.

Despite the negative reception, much of the voice cast received praise. Adam Wylie was nominated for a Young Artists' Best Performance in a Voiceover by a Young Artist Award for his work in it but lost to Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Sheena Easton's Sasha and George Hearn's Red in particular have been held up as examples of well-done voice acting carrying an animated film. Common Sense Media, on the other hand, gave it positive reviews because of some improvement over its predecessor with the plotline and some modifications with Charlie's concept.

## Accolades

### Young Artist Awards

* Best Family Feature - Animation or Special Effects
* Best New Voiceover Performance - Adam Wylie

***All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series*** is an American animated television series which aired from 1996 to 1998 in syndication and on Fox Family from 1998 to 1999, with 40 half-hour episodes produced in total. Don Bluth’s 1989 animated feature ***All Dogs Go to Heaven*** featured a disreputable mongrel (with a mixture of a German Shepherd) named Charlie who died, went to heaven, escaped back to Earth for vengeance on his murderer Carface and then found redemption with the help of a young orphaned girl named Anne-Marie. The film spawned a 1996 sequel, *All Dogs Go to Heaven 2*, and this animated series takes place after the second film.

Most of the voice actors from the feature films reprised their roles in the series, including Dom DeLuise, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Nelson Reilly, Bebe Neuwirth, Sheena Easton, and Adam Wylie. Steven Weber provided the speaking and singing voices of Charlie B. Barkin, who was voiced in the films by Burt Reynolds and Charlie Sheen (and singing voice provided in the second film by Jesse Corti). A Christmas special *An All Dogs Christmas Carol* serves as the finale.

## Plot

Charlie and Itchy live in San Francisco and New Orleans and act as guardian angels. In each episode, they are given an assignment by Annabelle, and while they always try to do the right thing, they inevitably keep ending up thrust into the middle of awkward situations. Charlie's duplicitous enemy Carface and his sidekick, Killer – returning from the **first film** – also appeared in the series, as did Charlie's friends: the dog, Sasha; the dog-angel, Annabelle; and the human kid, David. Finally, the series also featured three new characters: Bess, an award-winning, pure-bred show dog and Itchy's girlfriend; Lance, a by-the-book Doberman Pinscher, whom Charlie is jealous of for his heroic acts; and Belladonna, Annabelle's demonic cousin. The series makes several changes to the second film, which led many fans to consider the series as non-canon. For example, Charlie and Sasha were shown as being a couple at the end of the second film, but in the series, they only seem to be friends. Also, Itchy decides to stay in Heaven, but he is alive in the series. It is explained later why he is on Earth instead.
