Running Time
96 mins

The popular 1980s dubbed Spanish-Japanese kids’ TV series based on the Alexandre Dumas novel, in which all the characters are replaced by dogs (d’ya see what they did there), belatedly reaches the big screen.

‘Same dog, bigger screen’ promise the distributors, presumably to forestall any concerns that this might be a Scooby Doo-style travesty. Here’s the official synopsis: “Dogtanian is an ambitious young swordsman who dreams of becoming a hero and joining the legendary Muskehounds. After proving his skills and earning their trust, he and the three Muskehounds must defend the King from the villainous Cardinal Richelieu’s secret plot to seize power. Will the Cardinal win and take control, or will Dogtanian and his new friends foil the evil scheme before it’s too late?”
