DVDizzy Forum

was wondering first of if anyone knows there making a remake of the film (which i think stinks but w/e) second i heard the movie would start production on 9/1. It's 9/6 and still no word on the film. If anyone has any news at all let me know thanks a bunch.

This is the latest on the Internet Movie Data Base

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393735/

i checked there nothing not on google, no where i was wondering what is up?

Well I dont have any information on the movie coming out next year I am on the same boat as you. Howere I did want to welcome you to the forum You are going to love it here everyone is super friendly. I look foward to posting with you.

Yes, The Shaggy Dog (2005) will be coming out soon I don't have a confirmed date but also Tim Allen is up for The Santa Clause 3 and maybe Toy Story 3 who knows???
I'm very exited about this remake compared to the other ones.
Welcome to the forum Kingruler202!!!!

I actually am disapointed from what I have read of the plot. When I heard it was Tim Allen, I got really excited. I assumed he would be playing the father. I never dreamed that the story would be about him becoming the dog. It could be good, but I would rather them make it more like the original. This and "Herbie: Fully Loaded" starring Lindsay Lohan don't sound like very good remakes to me.

i actually like the idea of allen as the dog. its more Original and has never been done before.

i hope the movie is made soon so i'm putting up a page to an address where u can mail the movie makers asking what's taking so long. i know i am http://www.stefansautographs.ch/AllenTim.htm

Tra la la... *tries to set a good example for the forum, by posting in an existing thread*

So, does anyone else find the <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/intheaters.html#sd">new <I>Shaggy Dog</I> one-sheet</a> that Luke posted on the main page a wee bit creepy? I mean, it's nothing more than a bearded collie with human eyes! O_o

Something so profoundly wrong about that... like the CG humans in Polar Express...

Yeah, I agree with you. The poster is a bit creepy.

At least from the bits of footage on other DVDs, the dog doesn't appear to be CGI or CGI-enhanced in the actual movie. That'd be kind of lame. As it is, for some reason, I have higher hopes for this than I have for a live action Disney comedy in as long as I can remember. Looking forward to seeing a proper trailer, which is supposedly running before <i>Chicken Little</i>.

TAKE THAT BACK!!!

Anyway the dog kinda looks like Tim Allen!

Overall I've somewhat enjoyed Disney's remakes the past years, even if I haven't seen the original Shaggy Dog, I'm somewhat interested in this.

But I'm with Pals, lets hope Swiss Family Robinson gets delayed so Tim Allen can play Mr. Robinson!

Oh, I wasn't inferring that the film itself had any weird "touch-ups" on the dog - and indeed, it does look like a normal ol' bearded collie in the film, which is definitely a good thing. But I dunno who in the Disney P.R. team thought that that would make an attractive teaser poster!

And Lukester, are you sure you're not just interested in Shaggy Dog because of the do-no-evil Tim Allen?

NEVAH!! Polar Express enters the dark realm of the <a href="http://www.arclight.net/~pdb/nonfiction ... l">Uncanny Valley</a>, and it violates my eyes!

But yeah, I think the intended effect was to make the dog reminiscently Tim Allen-ish by slapping Allen's eyes onto a dog face. Didn't work too well, imo.

That must be it, but it's more like do-no-evil...under-the-Disney-name Tim Allen! After all, he can do plenty of evil, even when it's still Disney but not under the Disney name. Actually, <i>Joe Somebody</i> isn't really evil (<i>Christmas with the Kranks</i> may qualify, when I finally see that), but in any event, I probably <i>am</i> setting myself up for disappointment. At the very least, we'll have Tommy Kirk and Dean Jones barkin' it up on Disney DVD before next year's end! And you can never have enough TK and DJ on Disney DVD, covered with fur or not.

It looks way too cheesy. I don't think anyone is going to look at this poster and say, I can't wait to see this! I'm definitely going to wait for the DVD.

First, there was the original 1959 version with Fred MacMurray (from "My Three Sons"), and then the 1994 TV remake with Ed Begley Jr. and now the newest version with Tim Allen. I hope if this movie would do even more than both the 1959 and the 1994 versions of the same movie.

Well I'm planning to watch The Shaggy Dog (2005) at theatres and buy it on DVD since Tim Allen stars in it.

Don't see that happening, Pals, as The Shaggy Dog (2005) is actually coming out in 2006!

Oh be quiet Luke I forgot about that 2006 thing hey it was still produce in 2005.

REMAKES SUCK!!!!

It just shows Hollywood's lack of imagination and originality. I for one avoid remakes at all cost. Sometimes a friend will take me to see one, such as "The Longest Yard", which I hated, but when I heard that they were remaking "The Shaggy Dog" with Tim Allen, I wanted to upchuck lunch. And from the plot line it looks like they are combining "Shaggy Dog" and "Shaggy D.A." for the story.

Please Hollywood, PUUULLLLLEEEEEZZZZEEEEE!!!!! Let's get some imagination and originality and bring in some new writers and quit with the remakes. They are never as good as the originals and for most of us who remember the original we are soured on the whole company not just the product.

"Herbie Fully Loaded" was not a remake. It was a differently told story of the adventures of the little Volkswagen. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and am happy to have it my collection right along side "The Love Bug Collection".
