Disney's animated feature Teacher's Pet is based on the award-winning ABC cartoon show created by artist Gary Baseman. Spot (voice of Nathan Lane) is a dog who wishes he was a real boy, like his master Leonard Helperman (voice of Shaun Flemming). He gets his wish when Leonard and his mom (voice of Debra Jo Rupp) decide to move to Florida. Spot seeks the help of Dr. Krank (voice of Kelsey Grammer), an evil scientist who experiments with turning animals into humans. Things inevitably go wrong with

Gary Baseman's Emmy-winning cartoon series arrives on the big screen in a delightful blast of bold drawing, brainy humor, and hard-charging songs.
As CGI cartooning takes over the world Teacher's Pet finds a fresh and frisky approach to doing things the old, Walt way.
This isn't your father's Disney cartoon.
It's part sugar, part spice and all-around brilliant.
Has a non-sentimental appeal for that ... crowd that fancies itself too cool for kiddie stuff.
Teacher's Pet is no Finding Nemo, nor even Lilo and Stitch, but it is an enjoyable family film.
Fast, fresh, funny and entertaining for all.
May not be a Disney classic, but it's certainly unique enough to warrant at least a rental, if not a spot in the permanent library.
Art director Gary Baseman does some pretty innovative things with multiple screens, visual puns, transitions, and animated Broadway-style production numbers.
If nothing else inventive, at the very least perverse, and at moments transcendently bizarre.
You saw Brother Bear and Home on the Range in theaters but skipped the truly subversive Teacher's Pet? Here's your chance to fix that.
Disney's Teacher's Pet is a zippy animated feature with some clever musical numbers about a dog who wants to be a boy.
Delightful, giggle-inducing movie that will amuse kids with its quirky drawing style and outlandish action, while entertaining their parents with fast-paced, clever dialogue.
While an absurdity or two can be tolerated and cartoon physics is perfectly okay in this sort of thing, the simple fact is that the illogical plotholes generally hurt the movie.
It's splashy, bright, colorful fun for the whole family.
What the film lacks in graphic sophistication it makes up for in visual imagination, especially in several exuberant musical numbers.
A fine, smart, wickedly funny family film.
Occasionally clever, but unworthy of being the swan song of Disney's hand-drawn animation department. Too loud, screeching and annoying.
The standard I-gotta-be-me theme and Broadway-show packaging of Disney's animated output gets a snarky makeover...
Fast, fresh, frenetic...Teacher's Pet is a great way to spend seventy-odd minutes -- whether or not you've got kids in tow.
ide say its one of the few cartoon shows that is still entertaining to watch now as it was back in 2003 and the funny thing is i never watched one episode of the show
