Let Me Be Surprised - All Dogs go to Heaven Part 5

All Dogs Go to Heaven is a #1989 #animated #musical #fantasy #comedy-drama #film directed by #DonBluth and co-directed by #GaryGoldman (his directorial debut) and #DanKuenster. Set in New Orleans in 1939, it tells the story of #Charlie B. Barkin (voiced by #BurtReynolds), a German Shepherd who is murdered by his former #friend, #Carface Carruthers (voiced by #VicTayback). Charlie escapes from Heaven to return to #Earth where his best friend, Itchy Itchiford (voiced by #DomDeLuise), still lives, to take revenge on Carface. Instead, he ends up befriending a young orphan girl named #Anne-Marie (voiced by #JudithBarsi in her final film role). In the process, #Charlie learns an important lesson about #kindness, #friendship and #love.

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