Reviews
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.
If nothing else inventive, at the very least perverse, and at moments transcendently bizarre.
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.
As CGI cartooning takes over the world Teacher's Pet finds a fresh and frisky approach to doing things the old, Walt way.
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.
What the film lacks in graphic sophistication it makes up for in visual imagination, especially in several exuberant musical numbers.
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.
At home, the movie will probably play like the pleasantly dull video babysitter it is. As a big-screen feature, however, it just feels superfluous.
