The story of a man who rescues a German shepherd and how the two become fast friends.
Witty, wistful, honest and insightful in its warts-an-all appraisal of the relationship between one man and his dog.
A classic book, a film to cherish.
A delightful animation for adults, its lack of sentiment makes it an anti-Marley.
“Man’s best friend” doesn’t get near to describing the complexity of this animated bond. More Harold And Maude than Marley & Me; amusing, insightful and a little perverse.
Gorgeously animated, delightfully funny.
Lovingly animated in good-old-fashioned 2D, but using the latest software technology to recreate the rich hand-drawn-and-painted style that gives the film such warmth, My Dog Tulip also captures well the way that kindness and respect for a dog's nature will be reciprocated with a lifetime of utter devotion that is not only good for the pooch, but can have an unexpectedly transformative effect on the owner too.
Quirky and bittersweet, a treat for dog lovers and the dogless alike.
Truman Capote called it "one of the greatest books ever written by anybody in the world": a tall order for an adapter, one might think, but the Fierlingers wisely treat it like a walk in the park.
Delightful, idiosyncratic and touching.
A good fit for those who like their New Yorker funnies, and like them good and sour.
It's every bit as beguiling with even non-dog lovers bound to be mesmerised by its charm.
Initially, its anecdotes have bags of modest charm...anyone who's not studying canine gynaecology should head for the exit halfway through.
Tiresome tale is for dog lovers only.
