    A Major Disappointment

    The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

    There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

    Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

    I remember this cartoon as far back as I could remember.It's about 2 homeless dogs who don't have their own given names. So throughout the series they're known as the "Big & Little Dog". Their both Stupid in any level of achievements. Every episode would have them travel a lot, discover something new, experiment something they don't know, or they'd just do something that's so stupid, no one would be stupid enough to attempt in real life.The Big Dog is a slow talker, heavy sleeper, mailman admirer, cat scarer, and has more IQ than his friend.The Little Dog is a ball lover, afraid of cats, fast talker, and the leading dog of the duo.They may not be great thinkers, but they do know who to entertain or have fun with one another.Also there's the partnered "Secret Squirrel" shorts that are shown in the middle of the line of the 2 episodes of the show. Based off of an older Hanna-Barbara cartoon, only with more animals in it(I didn't know it was till years later). Which revolves over a secret agent squirrel and his Moroccan mole who battle crime together.Despite it sometimes having weird plots and some rather interesting characters, "2 Stupid Dogs" is a perfect and humorous example of the Hanna-Barbara cartoons of the 90s before it went to an official end in the early 2000's. This is one of the few cartoons, which I think deserves a remake/come back. That'll probably never happen but I can imagine it, can't I? There's nothing too offending about the cartoon, it just has cruel humor in it is all.

    What? a Ren and Stimpy rip-off? isn't that cute... BUT IT'S WRONG!If at all, this is a *parody* of that kind of cartoons and it appeals to a different (and probably smaller) audience. This is obvious in "Cartoon canines" episode: the two dogs learn how to be "funny", Ren and Stimpy way, in an army camp (Drill Sergeant: "No cutesy in my corp, only funny cartoons! You know, lots of butt jokes!").If i recall correctly, at one time the dogs even morph into something very close to Ren and Stimpy! From the drawing style i suspect this is one of the first episodes to be conceived, even if it was aired later.2 stupid dogs was made with a deceptively innocent animation style: smooth shapes, reassuring colors, attention to detail. The jazzy soundtrack is perfect, and the sound effects are purposefully unrelated to the action they try to describe.The stories are not silly, but minimal (some episodes can be narrated in one sentence) with exaggerated particulars. They can be poetic, satyric, just plain silly and, parents beware, with some extremely sick or revolting details. Usually i can't stand revolting stuff that I usually perceive as a cheap way to make things interesting by tickling istinct, but here it's just the authors' fantasy running amok. I enjoy every single episode. Nobody dare to miss the one in black and white!Little Dog is the best characterization of a little dog i have ever seen. Big Dog, my personal fave, seems just a lazy glutton, but when he decides to talk... listen to him as a foreign ambassador ("Drop all cares about politics, business, and the foreign situation. You will be astonished to find the world will manage to struggle on, somehow.") The big man and Red are awesome too! gee... better i stop writing this and watch a Two stupid dogs videotape for the hundredth time.Vote: 10/10

    Yes. The shows title says it all about this stupid excuse for a cartoon. All I can really say about it is that it's about two lame-brained dogs who get into all kinds of stupid sh*t including literally scaring a cat stiff, trying to figure out how to open an automatic door and finding the "perfect owners" by which I mean a family of morons with strangest set of morals I've ever seen. If watching these two dogs wasn't enough, we get to see a 10-minute modernized version of "Secret Squirrel" at about half-way through the show which is just as stupid as "2 Stupid Dogs" but is consequently (oh, God) less annoying. I'm sorry, but just watching this show is a total insult to the intelligence.Much more adult-oriented cartoons like "Ren & Stimpy" and "Rocko's Modern Life" ARE TEN times better than this crap. Cartoon Network along with Nickelodeon, are going down the same spiraling decent into idiocy with cartoons that I'm surprised are even making it off of the drawing board. I used to love these two television networks, but since 1996 they have just gotten so stupid. The so called "geniuses" behind these cartoons should just stop while they can while everyone in this country still has a brain.

    2 Stupid Dogs is a great cartoon. It is one of the first cartoons to be made that was directly influenced by the style of Ren and Stimpy without being a clone of it like so many that came out in this era. It was Hanna Barberra's first cartoon that was creator driven in 30 years and it was the show that began HB's current animation craze with Dexter's Lab, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Powerpuff Girls, and others. Created by Donavan Cook, this is a very funny and at times rude show. The best episodes are the 3 involving "Red", 3 episodes mocking and mixing up old the old fairy tales the 3 Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretle. These episodes were written by a former writer for Ren and Stimpy, Richard Pursel, and R&S creator John Kricfalusi is credited with "tidbits of bad taste". I would recommend this show to anyone who likes funny cartoons. It is a very influential show because as I stated earlier, it began Hanna Barberra's drive back to creator driven shows. And of course it's worth watching for the show's famous tag line....Isn't that cute....BUT IT'S WRONG!!!!!
