College Hounds (1929)
Cute Dog Football Movie
As a short, it was a fun entertaining film to watch with our family. Characters include The Scartail (instead of Scarface) gangster dog, the girl dog who seduces the football star so the football team loses.
Yes you can see wires occasionally, but the creative farce is a fun, family friendly dog story. The dogs voiceovers reminded me of radio shows with the sound effects and the voice inflection.
It's also fun to see football in 1929 and how it has changed. There's still touchdowns, quarterback sacks, and extra points kicked in between games he goal posts, but it's fun to watch how they get dogs to "play" the game too.
If you're wanting a short, creative "barkie" just for pure entertainment, these adorable dogs will do the trick.

Entertaining and Important
Entertaining and important. I loved how the message was presented just as much as the message itself. Although reviewers often distinguish between whether they love musicals or not when reviewing this film, the entire musicality of the film is mocked within itself in a way that you don't have to love musicals to love the message. Do a little good and you can redeem your life. Stop trolling and adding to the negativity of the world (both real and virtual) and you'll find a ripple effect of goodness does the world good. Music numbers, amazing dancing and good looking actors are superficial to the actual message. Dig a little deeper into the movie and you'll find moments of honest acting that are made even more real when intermixed with jovial lightheartedness. But it pokes fun at itself ("wow, I didn't even know I could dance like that!") in a way that my whole family could appreciate. I wish more movies could remind us to better ourselves and unite with what's really important, instead of fixating on petty differences. Highly recommended.
