Trivia:
On the soundtrack version of "Let Me Be Surprised", Charlie is heard saying "Damn that Carface, I'll kill him." but the "damn" part is removed in the movie (though Charlie still mouths the word)
Goofs:
Miscellaneous:
At the very end, when Annabelle (the pink whippet) is taking Charlie back up to Heaven, Charlie has his blue pocket-watch again (the one he lost in the lake) and their lips are moving yet, they aren't talking. This is because they re-used the beginning of the "Let Me Be Surprised" scene.
Quotes: Carface:
Charlie's alive, and I know he's got the girl. Killer, this is strike two. You're out. Killer:
No, boss! I have one more strike, boss! Honest!
User Review
Brings back memories
Rating: 10/10
All dogs go to Heaven is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I first
saw
it when I was like 3. Now I'm 12 and I rented it, it makes me think of
things and it brings back so many memories, those were "the days". I love
the music, I love when Charlie is arriving in Heaven, I love the song "Let
me be surprised". I love how Charlie looks and his voice, Bert Reynolds
could only play Charlie's voice this great. I love this movie, the 1st one
is the best one because it's so original and great. It really does bring
back memories that no one can describe, not even me. If only I could go
back
to those days. I love the characters. If this is the way the memories come
back when I'm 12 imagine how I'll feel when I'm like 19, I hope I'll be
able
to watch this when I'm older. When I first seen this I never knew that I
would really look back on it and feel this way , I hope it will be
available
to watch. I'm so happy that this movie was made and the amazing idea came
to
mind and heart. On a scale from 1-10 I'd give it a perfect 10. It's an
amazing movie. It's so hard to explain the feeling, when I get older and
if
I have kids, I hope they can experience this feeling.
