Disney's animated feature Teacher's Pet is based on the award-winning ABC cartoon show created by artist Gary Baseman. Spot (voice of Nathan Lane) is a dog who wishes he was a real boy, like his master Leonard Helperman (voice of Shaun Flemming). He gets his wish when Leonard and his mom (voice of Debra Jo Rupp) decide to move to Florida. Spot seeks the help of Dr. Krank (voice of Kelsey Grammer), an evil scientist who experiments with turning animals into humans. Things inevitably go wrong with the procedure and Spot is turned into an old man. Leonard and his friends try to help Spot, who now goes by the name of Scott Leadready II. Teacher's Pet also features the voices of Jerry Stiller, David Ogden Stiers, and Wallace Shawn. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

| What a delight is TEACHER'S PET! The animation is new-fashioned and fairly simple, but it does full justice to what the movie is really about: a salute to American musical comedy via a kid's cartoon. The lyrics are so consistently clever that you'll want to use your "subtitles" option--captioned for the hearing impaired--to get the most out of every witty line. (The music's good, too, with the voice of Nathan Lane a particular standout.) The movie this most resembles is probably "South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut"--but of course it's not as "dirty," so the whole family can enjoy it, each for his/her/young/old's own reasons. Not--unfortunately--a boffo hit in theatres, TEACHER'S PET ought to find a bigger and more appreciative audience on dvd. |
