Quiz
This series was controversial even at the time due to the methods used to get the dogs to pose and "talk". In the UK, the "Performing and Captive Animals Defense League" printed a circular in 1931 detailing the alleged abuse these animals endured. They were successful in having the British film censors ban these films due to animal cruelty.

Dogville

Big Dog House, The (1930)

** (out of 4)

One of nine "Dogville" shorts from MGM with this one spoofing their prison drama The Big House. A department store working gets accused of murder and is sent to prison even though in truth it was his boss who did the killing. In case you don't know, these Dogville shorts were basically spoofs of various MGM films with the only catch being that dogs act everything out. This movie really isn't funny but I found it interesting as to what must have happened in order to get the dogs to act all of this stuff out. It's very clear that there's a ton of editing being done in each scene just to pull off the talking or walking but at other times, like when a dog changes another dog's diaper, you can see their hands moving and I'm going to guess strings or something was attached to them. Either way, the movie isn't a total success but it's certainly not bad but I'm sure kids would get more of a kick out of it today.
