So I recently watched the movie 'All Dogs Go to Heaven' for the first time in maybe 15 years. While I still really like the movie, it seemed much more sad of a story than I remembered. Why can't I just watch a move and enjoy it the same way that I did when I was a little kid?
I also looked it up on IMDB, and now that I know Burt Reynolds is the voice of Charlie, I can't watch the movie without picturing Bandit driving a black TransAm.

Anyway, anyone else seen or is a fan of this movie?
My family actually owned it on VHS, back when people still had VHS players, so I didn't have to bother with renting it 
It's funny, as a little kid I did see and regognize the gambling and the drinking, I just didn't think that part mattered very much so I never thought much of it. Then again I was a strange kid. One day when I was in kindergarden my teacher called my parents to ask them why I was telling the other kids to "Shut you and drink your gin." I had been watching 'Oliver!' and had started to quote the movie, but completely out of context.
Obviously when I was a little kid I didn't undertsnad the ideas of death, afterlife, and personal sacrafice like I do now. That really changes the mood of the movie.
I also noticed that IMDB says that there is an 'All Dogs Go to Heaven 2' but I'm afraid to watch it out of fear that it will ruin the first one for me. Too often a sequal is put out that just ruins everything, and I don't know if this is one or not.
just watched it for the first time since back then..it was awesome
i remember watching the second one and liking it, but that could very well be different now
I remember loving this movie when I was a little kid. I used to have my parents rent it on VHS for me all the time. I watched it on Netflix in the last year for the first time since the early 90's and do agree it seemed different to me now. It had somewhat mature topics in it that I was oblivious to as a kid - murder, drinking, gambling, casinos, their whole concept of afterlife and the graphic hell they painted in the dream. All the kinds of stuff that's a bit taboo to see in a kids movie now a days. I do now appreciate Don Bluth's style for the film and how much it differed than the typical Disney kind of film.
This movie will always hold a place in my heart as our german shepherd passed away right around the time of the movie's release to VHS.
