The Shaggy Dog—okay, cute entertainment—works a simple, trite story theme of animal transmutation. The acting is good/fair. The presentation is good. It’s a light entertainment piece that may hold a child’s imagination, but does not serve the adult as well.

Maybe. It’s a trite story of animal transformation. Nothing new here. It performs as a light piece of okay entertainment to run in the background while the viewer is doing other activities. It is a clean movie with no surprises and does not require a great deal of parental alertness for the child’s watch.
