    Not too Shabby

    An enjoyable little film, although a bit fluffy, No where near as good as the orginal, however still fun.

    They use at least three dogs in the film and they all look completely different

    Not as good as original

    Didn't enjoy this. Remember watching the original as a child and thoroughly enjoyed it. My children however did seem to enjoy this version, but have not seen the original. Best part played apart from Bobby, was the character played by Ardal O'Hanlon who was hilariuos.
