Could it be that Felpudo was the inspiration for Priscila and TV Colosso? Very cute, the little boy's spontaneous humor and the mother's naturalness enchanted me, and the character of the protagonist, the ending a bit tiring, but interesting the atmosphere of mystery and childish tension...

Not as interesting the second time around. It isn't the worst film by any means, but 'The Shaggy D.A.' is definitely a step down from its predecessor. There are some amusing gags, the dog effects are much improved and in a few parts funnier, but the first and third acts are very slow-moving and lack entertainment. Dean Jones plays Wilby, he is the one other positive from this as he gives a strong performance. His live-action stuff is more than decent, while his voice work for Shaggy is perfect. I have no complaints with Mr. Jones. Away from him, I don't think any of the other cast members are all that notable. Keenan Wynn (Slade) and Tim Conway (Tim) have their moments, just not enough to elevate the film in my opinion. The middle part of this is actually enjoyable, it's just sandwiched between averageness unfortunately; despite a plot that is probably better, on paper, than the original. In conclusion, it's nothing bad but nothing good either.

Typical Disney 70's fare with the usual cast (Jones, Conway, Wynn) associated with the studio at the time, here focusing on the kid from the original "Shaggy Dog" 1959 movie, all grown up (Jones) and still having issues with his canine transformations. Crooked senator Wynn is determined to get his hands on the magic ring that will enable the metamorphosis, but predictably, the old dog has a few new tricks up his sleeve to counter every attempt. Conway plays the ice-cream vendor caught up in the calamities, Vic Tayback as a racketeer in cahoots with Wynn, and Dick Van Patten has a minor role as Wynn's chauffeur. The sultry Suzanne Pleshette plays Jones' domestic retreat, despite having little to offer the film, still adds a much needed spark. No surprises, it's inoffensive (a bit of gun-play, but no actual violence) slapstick comedy that would appeal to the young family audience.

I remember seeing this movie in the theater as a kid. It was fun family movie time for us. Most people don't realize however that this movie is sequel to 2 other movies. The first was "the shaggy dog" followed by (if i recall correctly)"the shaggy dog returns". The character from the first 2 is all grown up in the "shaggy DA". (the Tim Allen remake movie is sort of a combination of the earlier movies.) The original movie is out on VHS and DVD, But I've only seen the 2nd one (old black and white) twice, decades ago on TV -never on home video. It must still be locked in the Disney vault. Hopefully they will release a complete 3 movie set for my daughter's generation to see and enjoy these classic movies.

while i didn't mind the original The Shaggy Dog(1959),i thought this sequel was not too good.i found it way too silly and absurd,and not realistic.by that,i'm not talking about the premise,a man transforms into a dog.that i can accept as being within the confines of the movie.what i found unrealistic was how most of the characters acted and or reacted.too say there was some overacting going on would be a massive understatement.i also didn't find the characters endearing.i did however find them annoying.and the acting in general was unimpressive.and i found the ending abrupt with no real resolution.i'd say this would be a good family movie,a family comprised of only 3 year olds.maybe they ran out of money or time.whatever.this film had none of the fun or charm of the original.for me,The Shaggy D.A.is a weak 3/10

From regular kids flick director Robert Stevenson ("Bedknobs and Broomsticks", "Blackbeards Ghost", "Mary Poppins" and two Herbie films) came this better than average comedy about a prospective District Attorney who suffers an unfortunate curse that turns him into a shaggy sheep dog periodically. Dean Jones and the support cast (including Suzanne Pleshette) have fun with this one even though they never set the world on fire. Tim Conway provides great light relief as a bewildered ice-cream man. Oh, you've gotta hand it to the animal wranglers. Was to be Robert Stevenson's last cinematic release.

Just kidding (As if anyone could not figure out-- whether they've seen the movie or not-- how it will turn out). Like one of the other people who commented above, I was a kid (6) when this movie came out, and for some reason this is one of the movies that sticks in my mind along with Gus, Boatniks, and the '66 Batman, when I think back on the movies I saw at that age. So Shaggy DA has a built-in nostalgia factor as far as I'm concerned, and maybe for others my age, but anyone else would probably be bored to tears. The pie-fight had a little spark of energy, but watching this now mainly just serves to remind what low standards "family entertainment" had in the 70s. It's really amazing, today, to look back on this kind of stuff-- Shaggy DA, Pete's Dragon, that "Goin Cocoanuts" thing the Osmonds put out-- and think: Good Lord, was that really the best they could do?
