I immediately thought Homeward Bound when I saw the trailer for this! I just love the adventure side of any good pet movie. Plus I think a movie about dressed up tiny dogs is wayyy over due. Anyone else excited to see it?
Well said Sarah, I was thinking of that as well. It happened when 101 Dalmations came out and it's happened so many other times....and it's always the animals that wind up the victims when people think "oh what a cute animal, i want one" and they don't research or think of the committment.Originally Posted by sarahp
Not only does this movie look stupid, but I'm dreading all the chihuahua puppy mills that are going to crank up their breeding to have lots of dogs ready to get snapped up from the hype it will generate, to then have them dumped once the kids get sick of them.
I completely agree- not only does it look like an awful movie, but it's so irresponsible. I anticipate a huge influx of chihuahuas in the shelter by spring or so- people will get them for Christmas and after 3-4 months, realize they're not anything like what they were in the movie and dump them.Originally Posted by sarahp

Exactly, and I just realized something here..............Even in movies that are educational about the natural habitat and cruelty of capture and captivity ended up being a profitable commodity for suppliers of consumers with short term interest in the living conditions and lives of. Finding Nemo, one of my favorite movies, but perfect example!Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
