they do it again represent rip off an old show title and then destroy the nostalgia with boring re imagine stuff . the 60 cartoon be one of the funny of it time and a good natured satire of super hero comic book . the character be draw a half way between animal and human and the way mickey mouse be . here they use a real beagle while that about the same a make a mickey mouse watch with a real rat . most of the clever schtick that make the original show funny be miss from this film . instead and we get a clumsy ex police dog who even dumber than cad . and some pet owner who add nothing to the story . cheesy effect ( the dog talk animation be embarrass ) . poor scripting . a stereotyped dwarf play simon bar sinister . the gravelly noise box guy they hire to voice underdog be painful . you would think they would at least get a voice impressionist to approximate wally cox humorously distinctive voice for underdog . but no . there be and at least and a few affectionate reference to the source material ( such a the rhyming line ) and which lift it to a 4. only small child that love dog may enjoy this . everybody else should get a dvd of the original cartoon series . watch this only in desperation .
