Rock Dog (PG)

Animation, Adventure, Comedy

When a radio falls from the sky into the hands of a wide-eyed Tibetan Mastiff, he leaves home to fulfill his dream of becoming a musician, setting into motion a series of completely unexpected events.

The critical consensus

Rock Dog is a weird and not particularly wonderful animation for children.

You’ll long for a slightly smoother animation style (Pixar won’t be quaking in their boots), but this surprisingly fun yarn will undoubtedly have youngsters reaching for the nearest guitar.

A guitar-playing Tibetan mastiff must prove himself in this shonky, haphazard animation that clearly couldn’t afford to get Jack Black involved.

Modestly entertaining, Rock Dog should satisfy young children.
