comment |
The 1988 Big Damn Movie of the Pound Puppies (1980s) cartoon. Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw was a retooling of the concept and seemed to take place in a different universe to the original show.The main story took place in the 1950's, told by an adult Whopper as a story for his niece and nephew in the present (or at least the present back when the film was made). In Whopper's tale, the Pound Puppies and their human friends are organizing an adoption bazaar, only taking time out to admire the Bone of Scone: a mysterious bone that bestows puppy power and lets dogs and humans communicate.However, a mysterious man named McNasty turns up to adopt some puppies a day early and also seems to have some plans of his own for the strange artifact...The film was a Box Office Bomb and forgotten immediately after it’s released. Most people who have seen it aren’t fond of it, with having a cheesy and stupid plot, poor voice acting, lame musical numbers, and animation that looks more suited for television than theaters are among the criticisms this movie frequently faces. Because of the commercial failure and lukewarm reviews, this was the last media related to the franchise until 2010 |

Anachronism Stew: The film's base story is said to take place in the 1950's, but Big Paw's musical number "I'm a Puppy, Too" is a take-off of the song "Duke of Earl", which wasn't released until 1962. |

Furry Confusion: This movie features both half-dressed cartoon animals that can talk and gesture like humans and more realistically proportioned animals that don't speak. Age isn't an issue either, since Colette's puppies are able to talk. Both types live in the same pound and can be adopted by humans, with Reflex even worrying about his reactions to a bell making him unadoptable. Hrm... |

Animal Talk |
| | Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw / int_7ec8506d |
comment |
Animal Talk: In a weird variation of this, The Bone of Scone grants humans and dogs (and cats) the ability to understand each other in the form of Puppy Power, but all other animals remain unable to communicate with either humans or dogs. This creates a weird moment where Colette is talking to the two children helping at the Pound and suddenly switches over to dog-like barking the moment the Bone of Scone is broken. |

Non-Serial Movie: While the film shares some characters with Pound Puppies (1980s), it is plainly a separate continuity from the Hanna-Barbera series. |

Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better: Most of the main characters mostly walk and stand on two legs, but will get down on all fours to do things like bark and growl at the bad guys, in contrast to McNasty's guard dogs, who stay on all fours most of the time. |

comment |
Off-Model: Aside from changes made to the character designs, there is a particularly noticeable animation error in which Cooler's nose disappears from his face. The creators confirmed that the film's animation was done in only six months and with little preparation. This could help explain the rather sub-par quality. The DVD cover◊ depicts Cooler with his jacket colored red and blue, which is how it looks in the original animated series but not in the movie. |

Evil Overlooker: Done surprisingly cleverly on the main poster. The shadowy figure looming over the character has a hairy head and sharp teeth so at first one could think that’s the titular Big Paw. However, on close inspection, one can make out a long pointy nose, making it clear it’s McNasty. |

Pounds Are Animal Prisons: Averted for the most part, where the pound is a very humane animal shelter that runs pet adoptions and brings up the responsibilities about caring for a pet. It very quickly falls into this trope when McNasty takes it over and brainwashes the animals inside. |

When he heads back to the pound and tries to tell Cooler, Cooler instantly dismisses it as another one of Whopper's tall tales. |
