More dog killings for Anderson?
He has killed dogs in some of his other movies. So will the carnage continue? Did he make this movie just to kill a bunch of dogs?
shareThey are only pretend dogs.

If you want to know if an animal gets killed in a movie, real or fake, or even just as a stupid plot device to jerk a few tears at the end, they usually cover it.
I will check it out. One of the worst examples of a dog getting killed is a movie called Weiner Dog. I can't see that one even though I have liked the directors movies in the past.
shareThanks for the warning.I just checked out a review for it... dog lovers are warned to stay away.
I agree, even if it's not real, some directors use a dog's death for cheap shock value, or in some cases "humor".
I gotta say though, there's a funny scene in "Something About Mary" where Ben Stiller is wrestling with a 5 lb dog, but the dog is soo obviously a fake prop. That was pretty hilarious.
In There's Something About Mary, the fight is so ridiculous that you can't take it seriously. With Weiner Dog, I heard that the dog gets hit by a car, which is bad enough, but then the dog repeatedly gets run over by several cars. Horrible.
shareWiener Dog is a good film. I don't recall if a dog died in the film or not, but even if so-- who cares? It's obviously fake. People are (fake) killed in movies all the time. Does that stop you from seeing a film? If not, why would the (faked) death of a dog keep you away?
shareI heard the dog was hit once and then hit over and over by other cars. I didn't see it so I am only going from what I heard, but if you don't remember something like that happened then that is strange.
shareName a dog (animated) that died in this movie.
This movie is fantastic for dog lovers.
I never particularly like the killing of dogs in live action films. But I suppose I dealt with it better with this being an animation. I must say that this is a good film. I've rated it 8/10.
shareIt didn't bother me too much here either. He has killed a fair amount of dogs in his movies though, so I thought the carnage might continue here also. I suppose here it had to, since the dogs were sick on an island. Generally I don't like how almost every movie with a dog in it has that dog die sometime during the movie.
shareThe dogs being sick was key in softening the death of dogs in this. I don't mind so much when a dog's death is used for pathos at the end of a film. It may help children in the learning of grief. What I don't particularly like is when they use dogs, and other pets, as a victim of spite killing. They do that fairly often in Lifetime movies.
shareHearing that, I am glad I don't watch Lifetime movies.
