      Freshness is not easy.

      Editor: A typical family comedy, it is not easy to deduce freshness in a fixed frame.

      Guide: Abandoning CG and using traditional methods to shoot so many animals, the courage is commendable and the effect is extraordinary.

      Actor: The heroine is very suitable for this kind of plot, beautiful, generous and clear. That little black girl and Fat Dun really match. Kudos to all the dogs.

      Mirror: All kinds of complicated automatic machinery and equipment have added a lot...

      I just want to say that this movie shows one of my dreams

      At first, the reason for watching this film was because of the appearance of dogs, but it resonated with me. I still remember how excited I was when I watched the film, my nerves were always tense and excited, I hoped dogs and children We can all go well, everything is fine, and my heart is also uneasy along with the protagonists of the film. A home for stray dogs has always been my dream, but there are very few things like this in China, and some of them can't be maintained at all because of...

      Just For Fun

      I really like small animals, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to raise them since I was a child.
      Andi and Bruce had a peculiar experience, unable to make friends with their peers, so turned to friendships with dogs. For them, life is hard and miserable. In order to make up for Friday's rations, they began to defraud, although the intention was good, but unfortunately it violated the law and morals.
      Those stray dogs are pitiful, but the two siblings are not much better....

      Very complete and warm~~

      I was amused by this large group of dogs for many times~
        
       I remember that I seem to be a self-proclaimed dog lover~
       I also raised a few cute dogs with enthusiasm in those days when I was indifferent~
        Although the ending was not so happy, send Humans, dead, runaways~
        They're cute, yes, once you really have to take care of them, there will be so much trouble.
        Urinate. Scratching and biting. How many times to walk the dog.
         I lack patience, I can't be...

      i want a home

      How many people who have left home and wandered abroad want to have a home, a lover of their own, and then have a cute and clingy kitten, a cute big dog, a big yard, and when they have children, a family Barbecue in the yard and amuse the cats and dogs with the kids.
      How many people look forward to such a warm picture, and then continue to struggle alone in the big city!
      If, unfortunately, the parents died, leaving behind two children, what should the children do?
      The two orphans...

      Spectacular dog group escape, I have never seen so many cute puppies gathered together, so difficult to schedule, a must-see for puppy control. I cried when I finally called each puppy out and told why they were abandoned, they were so good. Fortunately it was a happy ending. At the end, I sent the tidbits of each puppy and the real owner who participated in the show, and my heart was...

    Evaluation action

    The "Dream Dog Hotel" in "Hotel for Dogs" is of course only the director's vision. This kind of beautiful vision can only appear on the screen. But respect and enthusiasm for life is what the film most wants to convey to the audience. In addition, the film also tells the audience that, as creatures living together on the same earth, any species has an equal right to breathe oxygen, bathe in the sun, and feel life. Human beings should...

    Movie quotes

    • Bruce: If you look at it, dogs have three basic needs. That's- that's eatting, sleeping, peeing and pooping.

      Andi: That's four.

      Bruce: No, I think peeing and pooping is one.

      Heather: Uh, I've stepped in both and I have to disagree.

    • Bernie: You sold a guy a rock in a box for $20.

    • Lois Scudder: I'm suing you, I'm suing the state, I'm suing those kids, I'm suing the people who make shrink wrap!
