  • why test on animals? there are plenty of new disney fans out there

  • I saw this movie and I felt really sad but Its a great movie

  • what is this about?

  • i NEED to see this movie! :D

  • This song does NOT fit Plague Dogs XD

  • @cutekittens81 o well its still a great song.

  • @Bandersnatch41 Yeah it is :)

  • Wait this movie have anything to do with the plague? As in sickness from europe?

  • @Mrblueblue465 the dogs are infected with the bubonic plague

  • I watched this when I was 8 years old ... my family and I thought that it was a normal children movie .. but when I watched it, I realized how cruel the world is. :(  I was terrified...

  • i one those guys who see's a human die and says shame.... but when seeing an animal mistreated or killed makes want to murder the one doing the mistreating or killing.

  • @experssion123 Never trust a person who doesn't treat an animal with kindness.

  • My god, this is misleading xD

  • Worth reading the excellent book for the more uplifting ending and brilliant illustrations by Alfred Wainwright.

    The Telegraph has reported on the proposed building over the area that inspired Watership Down - but here in Cumbria exactly the area where the Plague Dogs is set there is a plan to mine the biggest hole in the world and dump nuclear wastes which would percolate to the surface of this leaky land.

  • @Artivistmb Uplifting ending? Do you mean the re-write the author did so that the dogs survived? That's not the original ending he wrote. The dogs drown in the end. Though terribly sad, I perfer that ending, because the only way those two could truly find peace was in death. That's what the ending symbolised.

  • I just watched this film earlier today...oh sweet baby Jesus, I was BAWLING at the end. This made Watership Down look LAUGHABLE.

  • PODTOID

  • this was an excellent animation in the perspective of 2 dogs who are/have been used in experimental testing. 1 dog seems to understand there is something wrong while the other is in a sense defeated. this movie is touching compelling and very enlightening. it was ,as far as im concerned, not That shocking but would be best explained to your kids about government and cosmetic testing on animals, afterwards. i gave this movie 5/5 stars,

  • whats the song in this trailer called??

  • @mexicanman221 Its called Time and Tide.

  • Just watched this movie recently... It was a pretty good movie but it the most depressing movie I've ever seen, seriously, everything else is a comedy compared to this.

  • @mdude009 You haven't seen Felidae! XD

  • i don't understand how i am 12 and i don't want to watch this but i have seen felidae... felidae is a very VERY disturbing film but i like it x3 except for the disturbing parts D:

  • @Jadesparx2222 i like Felidae too, but i will NOT watch this!! well, maybe someday, but not anytime in the near future XD

  • The most darkest childhood film I've ever seen.

  • I crief

  • @MrsStaffiesRock I think its absolutely wonderful you watch these movies and your parents are ok with it. Some children have the capacity to watch these movies and others do not. Its all subjective. Before I was ten I watched Watership Down, Plague Dogs, and Fantastic Planet. You show intelligence and empathy to be able to watch movies like this and I would like to commend you. I implore you to read the books though, they are far superior to the films :D

  • @1973Recka

    Wow,thanks im going to take your advice and do so.I write stories myself and there pretty simple.I wrote 'A snarling jaw' which is still not finished.Its about 2 dogs and they got lost in a orchid with there human.May i give you a extract for you?

  • amazing piece of animation,seeing the struggle the dogs put up trying to survive and how they both physiologically grow is pretty amazing. its also a master of suspense and terror including some shocking scenes that my not be for a younger audience. (1-6)

    the animation is beautiful considering they did not use Roto-scoping to animate the dogs or humans at all :)

  • This movie is amazing. I believe everyone should see it. The book is even better too!

  • That movie was depressing.

  • fantastic movie !!!

  • this is one of THE saddest films i have ever seen... but very well done and brutally honest

  • A great song for a great movie!

  • Can some one please help me? I love this movie, i have it on dvd and also own the book. But could some one point out some other movies simaler to this? Thank you :) xx

  • @WerewolfChlid Try Watership Down and Felidae.

    You'll love em'

  • @MineBaron i've already seen them :( but yes i did love them!! :)

  • @WerewolfChlid How about "The Last Unicorn", or "The Little Fox"? "Fantastic Planet" is pretty weird.

  • @mycomama the last unicorn i've seen, i've not seen the little fox though, i shall look it up! thanks!

  • @WerewolfChlid

    Felidae is somewhat close to it. Watership down too :)

  • Arrghh!! What's the music used? I wants it!!

  • @OrdinaryRadicalism time and tide

  • @OrdinaryRadicalism "Time and Tide" by Alan price

  • I've never seen this movie, is it any good? It looks cute.

  • @okamiweed If you watch it, be prepared to cry. It has quite a couple of shocking scenes, and the ending is very sad. I wouldn't recommend it to people under 17.

  • Comment removed

  • @MissMarientose  is this a movie I should show to my whole famliy?

  • @okamiweed only if your children are 17 or older, or you show them bloody movies with tragic endings regularly. If not, then I'd suggest you watch it without the kids around. It does hold a very important message that kids should be taught, but I think it might be a bit too much for younger kids.

  • Comment removed

  • @MissMarientose I'll watch it and then, if it's not too bad, I'll show it to my family. What's the rating?

  • @okamiweed honestly I don't know the rating :( but if you watch it with your kids I'd definately sit them down and explain that the movie will be a bit shocking, but that's just me. Seriously though, it's not as horrible as Felidae; I would NEVER show my kids that one. So yeah, I suggest you watch it with your family if you want.

  • @MissMarientose  thanks!

  • @MissMarientose

    I have not seen felidae and im not intending to till i know what its like.Im 9 and wondering what happens in it.Could you tell me before i watch it?

  • @MrsStaffiesRock Are u seriously 9!? cause if so DO NOT watch Felidae, in fact, why are u watching Plague Dogs???

  • @MissMarientose To me this is not a scary film.Im okay with this sorta stuff but i was just asking what it was like.I also like watership down,its a great film.

  • @MrsStaffiesRock Yous seem very mature for a 9 year old

  • @Japanesebanzai52

    Ikr,my mum is a teacher and she always bugs me to use caps and stuff.

  • @MissMarientose Felidae scared me for life. And I watched it when I was thirteen.

  • =)

  • I remember seeing this when I was way too young, made me cry. Glad I rediscovered it recently, truely an underappreciated masterpiece!

  • @supertabby101 Perhaps you could persuade her to let you see the cut version of the film, at least. Be warned, though, this film really isn't a pleasant one, despite how the trailer makes it seem. It's very depressing and disturbing (and shows animal testing and some gore), and is not nearly as tame as Watership Down was. If you're okay with that film then this one might be okay, but if you found anything in Watership Down scary or upsetting, I'd leave this film alone for now.

  • Just finished watching this movie on Netflix :( It. Was. So. Sad! I read the 'newer edition' of the book so I totally didn't see the ending coming. Way more bloody and sad than Watership Down, but both books/movies are great. I wish they would make more realistic and truthful animated movies like this nowadays. I can't believe even after seeing/reading things like this people STILL do animal testing; makes me sick :(

  • ive never seen this....is this like depressing like the watership down? whats it about?

  • @wolfsrain0000 It's rather more depressing than Watership Down, I must say! :P It's about two dogs who escape from an animal testing laboratory and have to try and survive in the wilderness, while being hunted down by humans who wrongly suspect them of carrying the plague. It's an incredibly bleak and disturbing film, but a total work of art if you can cope with how depressing it becomes. ;^^

  • @needsmoremilk thanks! will they be free in the end?

  • @wolfsrain0000 I don't want to spoil the ending! You'll have to see it for yourself if you want to find out. :P It's certainly not a happy ending, though! ;^^

  • @needsmoremilk i wont then...im just gona cry n have a fukd up day :/ thanks though! :)

  • @wolfsrain0000 Ooh, if you're having a bad day then definitely don't read about the ending! ;^^ I hope you feel happier soon, though. :) Try searching for "The Colon P Song" on this site; I find that it always helps when I need drastic cheering up. ^-^ (I would have sent you the link, but it doesn't seem to want to let me it. ;^^)

  • @needsmoremilk god...too late....i couldnt wait....i watched the ending i didnt understand it,when they swim well r they goin back to the homeland? or is anyone gona find them? i dont understand how the movie ends.....im gona read the book but i was told that they r rescued by the little dogs owner n it has a happy ending.its a good education to kids about how humans look at animals,these tests shouldnt be done on humans,animals got nothing to do wiht our problems. but thanks for the song :))

  • @wolfsrain0000 *SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT*

    It's quite ambiguous in the cut version, but in the uncut version of the film it's made clear that the dogs drown. :( They were trying to get to Snitter's island, but halfway through swimming it was revealed that the island was just another of his hallucinations. But yep, the film is a brilliant way to get the message across that animal testing is just cruel.

    *SPOILERS END HERE*

  • @needsmoremilk was he halusinating because of his head?

  • why dose the dog have that thing on his head? 0:26

  • @myfatcat91 because he was at a animal testing center where they test human products on animals before selling them, they'd done something to his brain and he has a few flash backs of his owner, great film

  • @myfatcat91 Because the scientists did a vivisection on him.

  • i am 11 and am wanting to watch this please anybody tell me if i should watch this please comment back

  • @1900Molly Why do you need strangers to tell you if you should watch a movie? Its a good bleak movie.

  • watership down made me cry and im going to watch it again tomorrow the 2nd time in many years, felidae was good but this is the best out of all 3 and the end gets you thinking

  • @flipflop10150 I think she also did plague dogs

  • Comment removed

  • @stuffofstuff1 Um... what movie did you watch? *spoiler* The doggies drown at the end... i know the book ends differently but in the movie they clearly die (because that's the most logical ending really the dog's had no real chance)

  • @Omgitsayuro Apparently the book ended the same way but it was so horrible the author redid the ending to make people feel better...

  • i love this movie. it was sad though. kinda funny though, i was watching the shinbone alley trailer, and this was in the suggestions, and those two movies i watched last night in that order haha ^^

  • this one was so sad..specialy the end

  • I love this movie! It's so sad :'(

  • Pretty sure this is the film that disturbed me as a child (can't be sure though, I've been trying to work it out for years). My local library screened some anti-vivisection film for the kiddies (nice idea eh?!) and all I previously recalled was rabbits having their eyes injected in a lab. Seeing that poor dog with the head injury is ringing bells though. My mother should have sued that library, this does NOT look like it's for kids. Gave me nightmares for years!

  • @SareyGamp just because its animated doesn't mean that it is for kids. and this is one of the good examples as well as watership down

  • @pippylunalove I didn't say it WAS for kids. My local library however did when as, when a child, it was advertised as a special screening for children. I remember it vividly (I must have been under 6), taken by my unknowing mother and sitting with a gaggle of restless, excitable children to watch a 'cartoon' and then being scarred for life seeing this. My mother has never forgiven herself. I remember being removed along with many other crying children by our equally upset parents. Stupid library

  • @SareyGamp wow that sounds bad i remember being scared of the warren rabbits in watership down. i feel bad for you.

  • @pippylunalove I got over it, EVENTUALLY ;) I'd love to know if I'm combining my memories of seeing both films as a child (saw WD when slightly older), were there rabbits injected in the eyes in PD or am I combining the two films cos the animation style is similar (or maybe it's supressed memories of yet another gruesome film I shouldn't have seen?)? Maybe the lab monkeys get injected, I can't bring myself to watch PD after seeing this trailer (bad memories *lol*) so maybe will never know?

  • @SareyGamp for watership down i dont think there was much human interaction all i remember was the bulldozer cause they were using the rabbit warrens and the way of life to represent communism. so i think that was plague dogs. well plague dogs doesn't look as bad as Felidade - which looks really really scary and horrific. btw haven't seen felidade.

  • @pippylunalove I didn't mean the rabbits were injected actually in WD (WD doesn't freak me out, only when I was a kid and that's cos I dislike rabbits anyway *lol*), merely that I'd thought of the rabbits from there and maybe my memory had accidently put them in PD. Having seen the trailer again I see there are rabbits in the lab so maybe WD has nothing to do with tainting my memories of PD? Can anyone tell me if there are ANY lab animals in PD that get their eyes injected? Ta

  • @pippylunalove Omg Felidae was really creepy...... it freaked me out a lot D:

  • wtf is it with these people and making these typs of movies that fuck with my head ..btw i do like them xD

  • omg do they really need the army to take care of 2 DOGS!!

  • @warriorcatsLPSwolves The dogs have escaped from a science lab where they were tested for medical purposes. The army is searching for them because rumours are spreading that the dogs carry the bubonic plague. Thats why they use the military.

  • @JangosSoulja lol thx for telling me

  • Even the trailer made me cry o.o

  • @PurpleScorpion187 Yep :D

  • I miss my dog. We're on vacation and she's in a kennel.

  • I loved this movie,it was soo sad tho.

    If you HATE sad movies then dont watch it.

    Also if ur not used to gore DO NOT watch it

    It has cussing too I must add,

    and I think the movie is rated PG or PG-13,oh well I think it is PG-13

  • @WolfFang650 I don't ike sad movie but I really want to watch it. I'm 12 and I've read Watership Down and it's my all-time favourite book. I also watched the movie and I wasn't bothered. I'm used to gore, but I still don't like sad movies. Do you think I know watch it? :)

  • @penguinoftheclub

    I am 11 and it didn't bother me at all. But the sad parts did,lol. I hate animal abuse so much...I am always like "Screw animal abusers!!!!". Gore doesnt bug me rlly....And I really dont care about the cussin'

    so ye

  • how is the title pronounced? pla-gue? dogs?

  • @MrBradleighB just one syllable like, 'The Black Death' plague, bubonic plague

    disease, y'know? 

  • @rasellewolf oooh okay thanks i got it,damn its been years and i just now know the name,no wonder nobody had it at blockbuster lol

  • @MrBradleighB you're welcome XD

    good luck finding it

  • I cried a lot during this movie. A lot. People suck.

  • ok what the heck is this about.. look pretty effed up

  • If you guys think this is bad you should see those videos taken in China of what they do to the animals.

    Seriously fucked up shit.

    Fuck humans.

  • @degree7

    Relax its only a movie :P

  • @TheAbridgedGamer A movie based on real life. And hes talking about the stuff in China which is real. Same with everything in this.

  • @Milomia9

    Hmm, ok. I see, saw the movie, really damn depressing.

    Animals are cool though :D

    I had a cat, it was awesome ^^

  • saddest movie ive ever seen had to watch it in 2 parts, it was to hard in one go :'(

  • One of the most shocking animated films I've ever seen. First time I watched it, I was 12 and I remember myself crying myself to sleep afterwards and having nightmares about it. I think it might be this film which turned me both vegetarian and got me started on activism against animal cruelty. Truly touching, but truly disturbing as well XP

  • the tod is the same fox from the fox and the hound. Todd.

  • @neverlando Yes, Im getting a tablet for Christmas, with it I am going to make animations.

  • My Grandma was one of the Animaters in this :D

  • @GamerGuys170 are you following in her footsteps?

  • @GamerGuys170  seriously?

  • @GamerGuys170 my grandma was one of the animators in watership down!

  • @GamerGuys170 thats so awesome! ^^ has she animated in any other movies?

  • @flipflop10150 Watership down sorry xp

  • @GamerGuys170 i have been planning on renting that, lol

  • @GamerGuys170 Thats soo awesome :D

  • @GamerGuys170 Your grandma was one of the animators of this movie, that's so cool, you must live an exciting life.

  • @GamerGuys170 well then your Grandma rocks! :)

  • @GamerGuys170 wow, that is so cool :) Do you want to follow in her footsteps ? As in being an animator ? ;)

  • @GamerGuys170 Really? That's Amazing!

  • @GamerGuys170 THats Boss!

  • I have the movie watership down!!!!!!!! it's awesome, but in some parts kinda scary. I wanna see this movie!

  • Martin Rosen did such a great job adapting Watership Down and The Plague Dogs for the big screen. He should've made his own adaptation of Animal Farm,it would've been great.

  • @BEL79NUN I always kind of wished he did an adaption of Black Fox Running, that was one of my favourites

  • I am adding this to my list of movies i must watch; along with watership down.

  • @ShayminQueenReviews you can awatch it on youtube for free, well at least watership down you can.

  • this trailer has such a cheery music track for such a dark film!

  • God Bless Snitter, Rowf and Tod

  • This movie was so sad, I thought I could sleep after watching it but I was wrong...

  • i dont get the movies end? explain help?

  • this film was set in my home region, in the village of Coniston. though the lab never existed, the route the dogs took is all there. going past Swinside stone circle to end up at the coast, where they swam the sea to Walney Island. I just thought you might find that interesting.

  • @DragonMasterThlayli that's pretty cool!

  • @YahtzeeZombie actually, that first comment was wrong. i watched the movie again, paying more attention. They actually travelled north to Glenridding, west to Eskdale Green, then they caught the train to Ravenglass, where they started to swim. And there isn't any island, both the dogs die.

  • @whutzerface time and tide

  • anyone know where I could find the book? I've seen the movie and i really want to read the book but i dont know where to get it

  • aww this is an amazing book! ♥

    the movie is also great...but the ending kinda disappoints

  • did you make this trailer yourself? Great movie

  • Hey, the sound's better! I thought this was going to be an official trailer. Good vid, though! I wonder if the official trailer mislead people about how cheerful this movie is.

    @whatsherface:  You could just google it, but I'll tell you anyway since I'm nice.The song is "Time and Tide" by Alan Price. It was written for the film. It's been made a lot shorter in this video.

  • :'(

  • what was this movie rated pg, pg13?

  • @nejitenfan

    Prolly then, but today it would be R.

    Blood and gore and such.

  • Yo This was a very good movie. Check it out when you can.Remember it's from 1982 and this animation was great. Enjoy

  • This is one of the creepiest films I have ever seen. Is this the sort of stuff we're supposed to show our children?

  • @musicisinsideofme No, this is not meant to be a children's movie.

  • Comment removed

  • do I even wanna know what te movies about?

  • Does this one have violence?????

  • @DarthVTOR  Yes

  • The movie is good in all, but this is supposed to be movie to remember, but y by seeing a dude gettin owned by a dog with the gun?

  • Excuse me for asking, but does the fox help them out? "Never heard of this story until now."

  • I watched it on youtube, but the voices were hard 2 hear! But i loved it!

  • heyy someone who has read the book and saw the movie which one it better ? ? ?

  • The ending to the movie is a lot better i'd say.

    But they're both good in their own right.

  • I absoloutly adore the book, however the ending is a tad far fetched and I personally find the film ending more dramatic and interesting.

  • Haha, I remember watching the beginning of this when I was around five. My mom came in and was like "NO." Never did see the rest of it.

  • don`t get the ending of this movie, did they drown or not?

  • Book no, movie yes.

  • They kept swimming til they drowned... but at least they died out of the hands of humans by choice

  • It's an ambiguous ending, so it's up to you how you interpret it.

    Yuo can say they finally find their island and have a happy ending, or say that the island was a euphemism for them only finding sanctuary in death.

  • video quality sucks too...
