What are some of y’alls favorite movie dogs?
Will Smith having to put down his dog traumatized me
Boy from Love and Monsters is a highlight of the film for me
I like how even on your tangent about the Once Upon a Time ellipses you still get it wrong on your card in the corner. It's insidious!
Thought we were talking about toes
No mention of the dog from The Thing?
He's more of a character in the book than the series but Dog from Good Omens is a delightful little dog character.
The Plague Dogs
Lowkey really liked cats vs dogs as a kid, even though im more of a cat person that beagle is straight up adorable. Also the dog detecive clip remind me of this clip that went viral where there's clearly an actor in a dog suit running on its hindlegs and punching someone in the face. Mustve been a show from the 70's or something
16:41 Patrick Stewart’s character Jean-Luc Picard had a pet pitbull named Number One in season one of Star Trek: Picard!
cant believe this video isn't made by Pancake herself smh
Isle of dogs is a pretty good movie, I liked Chief/Chifu.
Favourite weird movies?
Important video, thank you.
I had just seen that Alex Boucher video! 2 goats making great videos about the goodest boys and girls back to back. Its been a good month.
If you have depictions of hell, why not depictions of heaven?
i never cried at movies or shows but then i watched i am legend and when sam died it opened the floodgates and i can cry at media bow
i never cried at movies or shows but then i watched i am legend and when sam died it opened the floodgates and i can cry at media now
I've never been a dog person and I put that down to being traumatized by Sid's dog in Toy Story, that thing is scary as f. Also want to second that Isle of Dogs is a superb film.
I know this movie isn't out yet, but as a comic fan and movie fan I know that you know that well all know krypto will be one of the best cinema pups of all time.
Do the 2006 Classic Hit Tim Allen film The Shaggy Dog lol
2nd time asking for a list of movies with the best practical effects
My favorite dog character is red dog, from red dog
Ooh I’m really excited to watch this! I recently fell down a bit of a rabbit hole about animal actors, specifically horses since they’re often used in combat scenes. I’m so grateful for actors like several of the LOTR cast members who adopt their on-screen horses so that they can retire. I’m sure it’s taxing to be used in so many high-stakes scenes on sets that are often very noisy, especially for an animal that doesn’t understand what’s going on.
imagining you going skrrrt to pancake just made my day
I Am Legend beats out Where the Red Fern Grows in terms of a tear jerker for you? Have you seen it?
You have become a top 3 creator for me
Poochinski had be cackling. Thanks for sharing the joy.
Not nearly as goofy, but the dog&cop team up to fight crime reminded me of Kommissar Rex. A long running Austrian/Italian series about a super intelligent police dog helping his human partner solve cases.
Favorite movie dog? Probably Asta from The Thin Man. Very well trained dog. Loads of personality and a bit of a brat. In one of the movies he even eats part of an important clue. (Though the pre-Hayes Code racy joke they tell with another dog having puppies with his love interest was…bizarre.)
I can't believe my goat, Milo from The Mask wasn't here
Does anyone remember the movie fluke? The one where the dad dies and is reincarnated as a dog? I watched it so many times as a kid, and I feel like I'm the only one who remembers it 😅
@17:01 Pete Docter directed Up, not Brad Bird.
I am legend was the first time i ever sobbed while watching any movie
what about Whitefang!
Doggie from "The Room" sittin' like a king on the counter apparently was not scripted and he's my favorite. And Brandy from "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood".
i used to really like I am legend, but as soon as the dog had to die, i hated the film and still refuse to watch it again
A Dogs Purpose made me cry a shit ton we need a part 2!! I also would love if you covered dogs in games too <3 I personally love The last of us and the dogs symbolizing so much about the characters in the game!
My favorite dog character is red dog, hands down the best boy. Another id like to mention is snowy from spielbergs tin tin movie. I love snowy because he seems to know whats going on at about the same level as the people and seems equally invested is solving the mystery (he fights a fucking eagle) but never looses his dogness, he always seems like a dog, I dont know how else to explain it hope this makes sence. also that tin tin movie has one of my favorite chase seens in a movie, an incredible one shot scene following tons of characters but still manages to flow like a river, i think favorite chase seens would make a great video.
Watch this video with my two best Dogs sleep ✌🗿
I hope you will do famous film felines next!
Cujo has an internal monologue in the book & it’s absolutely devastating. He wanted to be a good boy. He didn’t understand why he was being “a bad dog”. 💔
16:43
Pitbulls *are*, on the whole, demonstrably more dangerous than other dog breeds.
Breed-specific behavioral differences are real.
My favorite is the connection between the dog character and Ewan McGregor's character in Beginners. Great movie 👍
Honestly have no idea why you make your spoiler warning so long whilst also spoiling what entries are going to be coming up.
The Pikey dog in Snatch who swallows the squeaky toy … and some other stuff … whole and then squeaks is the most hysterical thing I've ever seen. He dgaf 🤣 John Wick is kinda infamous for good reason, but I rly love JLo's absolutely badass assassin Sheps with fucking armor in JW3 – easily most badass dog characters I've ever seen. Also not a movie but shoutout to Daryl's Dog, he is a good badass boy.
A recent favorite of mine is Samson from The Black Phone. He's never shown attacking anyone, though it's implied that he would if commanded to do so. He's simultaneously frightening and beautiful, with his massive size, solid black fur and yellow irises, like a panther. Also, the hero manages to avoid confronting the dog by offering him some food. Samson is only shown briefly and isn't the only dog in the film, but he leaves an impression.
Nice video. Ill sound like an ass, but fyi Pancake is overweight, if you are able to slim her down a bit Im sure she would appreciate it 💜
Listen. Beethoven.
Off topic, curious as to why Pancake seemed to wear a muzzle at home? I did see a cone at some point, so I assume it’s for health reasons?
