Movie Info

Robert Stevenson, Walt Disney Productions' house director, cobbled together his 19th family film for the organization with this slapstick sequel to the Disney comedy The Shaggy Dog (produced 17 years after the fact). Dean Jones plays Wilby Daniels, a lawyer running against the villainous John Slade (Keenan Wynn) for district attorney. His campaign is cast into doubt when he comes upon an ancient ring that transforms him into a fat sheepdog. But the campaign progresses on a level playing field

Dad turns into a dog in this vintage Disney movie.

Wearisome and derivative.

Sequel dog time with leashed laughs.

It's a goofy story, and it's far from a brilliant movie, but The Shaggy D.A. is a fun romp for a family to watch.

I remember this movie being BIG with us school kids in pre-Star Wars 1976, but it wasn't anything great. I doubt kids care much about the world of public offices and just want to see the dumb doggie effects; but Dean Jones made a big ugly mutt. Now forgotten.

I loved this movie as a kid and it is still somewhat enjoyable today. Wilby Daniels is a grwon man now running for District attorney when the cursed ring gets into the hands of his opponent Honest John Slade played over the top by Keenan Wynn. Of Course Daniels becomes a sheep dog again and the laughs ensue. Tim Conway
