Rock Dog is a 2016 Chinese/American animated film, very, very, very loosely based on the graphic novel Tibetan Rock Dog by Zheng Jun.In the isolated Tibetan village of Snow Mountain, a community of fun-loving, scatterbrained sheep divide their time between creating woolen garments and making music. In the Backstory, a pack of wolves once attacked Snow Mountain, but were defeated by the village's protector, a proud mastiff named Khampa (J. K. Simmons). Now, the aging Khampa is training his son Bodi (Luke Wilson) to take over protecting Snow Mountain for him, but Bodi doesn't have the ability — or more importantly, the desire — to do so, especially because his passion is music.As a result, Khampa promptly decides to ban music from Snow Mountain and lock away every instrument in the village, but everything changes completely when a shipment falls out of a passing cargo plane. The crate includes a radio. When Bodi uses it to tune in a Rock & Roll station from a distant city, he's really hooked—especially after he hears the reclusive feline/British Rock Star Angus Scattergood (Eddie Izzard) being interviewed about his forthcoming single.Following the advice of wise village elder Fleetwood Yak (Sam Elliott), Khampa reluctantly lets Bodi leave for the city to find his passion, while taking his homemade guitar with him as well. In the unnamed city, Bodi eventually happens to make his way to Rock & Roll Park, the place where many aspiring musicians gather to ply their trade. He ends up meeting, and bonding with, two members of a nameless band, compassionate fox bassist Darma (Mae Whitman) and spacey goat drummer Germur (Jorge Garcia), but arrogant snow leopard guitarist Trey (Matt Dillon) refuses to accept him.Bodi also tries to seek out Angus, who repeatedly brushes him off until he hears the mastiff playing a catchy original song. Angus has to deliver a new single to his label in a few days, but he's suffering from Writer's Block, so Bodi just might come in handy after all. Meanwhile, Linnux (Lewis Black), the leader of the wolves who managed to besiege Snow Mountain last time, has his henchmen follow Bodi throughout the city in order to kidnap him and force him to disclose Snow Mountain's defenses. Can Bodi escape the wolves and save Snow Mountain, while being able to make his dreams of being a rock 'n' roll star come true?The film is followed up by two Direct to Video sequels. Rock Dog 2: Rock Around the Park, released in 2021, follows Bodi one year later, when music mogul Lang gives Bodi and his band True Blue the chance to tour with pop sensation Lil' Foxy. Along the way they discover that fame comes at a price, and must learn to stay true to themselves. The third film Rock Dog 3: Battle the Beat follows Bodi attempting to restore his mentor Angus Scattergood's name as a Rock God when a group of young performers on a music contest show admit they have never heard of him. | |

Funny Background Event: Included in the onlookers of Riff and Skozz's failed attempt to capture Bodi at the bus stop, is a cat making a wedding proposal. Both parties stare in confusion. As Bodi tries to convince Darma and Germur that he knows Angus, the cat can be seen in the background trying to ward off Riff and Skozz's vacuum with Bodi's guitar. As the wolves are being levitated by Bodi's new found music powers, if you look closely you'll see that a few of them are casually enjoying the gentle ride. | |

Surrounded by Idiots: Linnux's relationship with his gang. Even Riff, the most competent of them, has some boneheaded moments. When it comes to the other mooks you'd be surprised they're such a threat to the sheep, such as one moment when they surround Bodi and try to tranquilize him...and all wind up shooting each other when Bodi ducks. Khampa's relationship with the sheep that he is protecting. The sheep are so scatterbrained that they forget that Bodi has left the village and that they organized and threw a giant party for him by themselves. Khampa wonders aloud how his son even kept looking after them after a week. | |

Later, the same thing happens to Angus, only instead of breaking through the glass, he does a Glass Smack and Slide. | |

Gilligan Cut: In the middle of the movie, Linnux looks at a back view photo of Khampa and says "When I get a hold of your kid, you're not gonna know what hit you." Match Cut to Khampa in the exact same back view position and being hit in the left shoulder by a mannequin leg. | |

Don't Think, Feel: How the Iron Paw move works. Khampa's comes from his hatred and fear of wolves while Bodi's comes from the joy he feels from playing guitar. Khampa, at first, tries to teach Bodi his method, but eventually realizes that his son's heart simply isn't in it. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni | |
| Rock Dog / int_8411ab92 | comment |
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The trope is interestingly reflected visually through the Flame. Khampa, being the strict, Properly Paranoid fighter he is, casts a heavy-hitting blast of red energy. Bodi, on the other hand, casts a comparatively mellow blue wave in the climax. The implication is that, while Khampa's powers are based in fear, Bodi's are based in love. Bodi also plays as the Blue Oni to Angus' more surly and panicky Red. | |

Writer's Block: And a very realistic depiction thereof! Angus has to constantly beg his manager for more time to "tweak" his new song because he's having so much trouble just coming up with one. Jamming doesn't work and he can't write down or record the melody he comes up with in his sleep in time before it goes away (an extremely common frustration for musicians). At one point, he's seen with his head down on the piano, pounding the keyboard in frustration while surrounded by crumpled up notes. | |

Jerkass: Trey mocks, humiliates and dismisses Bodi from the moment they meet. He pays for it when his band ditches him and replaces him with Bodi. | |

Naïve Newcomer | |
| Rock Dog / int_ed05cfee | comment |
Naïve Newcomer: Bodi's upbringing in the quiet mountains hasn't done wonders for his knowledge of the rest of the world. While he's eternally optimistic, happy, and friendly to everyone he meets, he's been fooled by people who lie to him (such as Trey saying that Angus would love to be his music teacher when Angus is mainly a recluse who has a dedicated security system around his whole house), sets his expectations too high, and is easily taken advantage of given his gullibility. | |

Easily Forgiven: Angus by Bodi, and later the wolves by Khampa at the end. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Rock Dog / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Bodi goes through several days of humiliation and hopelessness, is ostracized by his father for his passion, and has wolves nearly massacre the Snow Mountain sheep. However, at the end of the movie, Khampa grudgingly accepts his son's music career; Bodi finds a band and they seem like they're going to be a hit under Angus's tutoring; and the wolves apparently give up trying to attack Snow Mountain, because Bodi also has a very strong magic attack. | |

Running Gag | |
| Rock Dog / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: A mild one in that whenever someone touches the gate to Angus's property, they're sent flying backwards into the house across the street, sending them pinballing around the place before shooting back and rolling to a stop on the pavement in front of the gate again. Both times this happens, the victim also hit a pane of glass being carried over to the house. Bodi goes right through it, but Angus splats against it (the workers carrying it simply flip it over to let him slide off). Stepping (or not stepping) on Angus' doormat. Carl the sheep is a Neat Freak who's always in the shower whenever someone needs him. Lampshaded at one point by Khampa: | |

Stepping Out to React | |
| Rock Dog / int_fc0b5019 | comment |
Stepping Out to React: When Bodi asks Angus (who claims to be Angus's butler which the naive Bodi doesn't question) if he'd be interested in becoming his music teacher, Angus steps away from the front door's intercom to guffaw in sheer disbelief. However, his muffled laughter is loud enough to be heard in the background. | |

Buffy Speak: After he gets zapped by his own security system, Angus yells at Ozzie to bring a golf cart out to get him because he's "Been zapped by the doo-dah." Because Bodi doesn't know what a radio is, he only calls it a 'magic singing box.' | |
