And the dog catcher is on every space!! How are we supposed to answer 10 questions right in a row within 1 minute??? Why are we funding this? God awful game. Every copy should be burned in a fire pit. Got it for my daughter she loves dogs and this was a nice game that is played on the DVD, you get to pick which dog you want to be and it is a trivia about movies from Disney that has dogs in them.
Not just cartoon dogs all dog movies. Play it all the time. Have not said anything against it except they know more than their parents do. I got it because of the disney title and the recognition of the movies represented in the game.

The most you can earn from any given activity is three blue ribbons, though on most, you're lucky to pick up one. Disney's animation obviously gets the focus in the game's design, but the studio's live action fare gets a pleasantly surprising amount of attention too, especially in the collectors version, but also significantly in the family version.
Clearly, some movies with canines as secondary characters still get asked about, and some that would seem obviously relevant like Teacher's Pet do not. There are also questions about a number of Pluto shorts, which would appear to be demanding of one's memory but tend to be a little less difficult.
Are children going to be familiar with live action '60s movies that aren't widely available if at all on DVD or Pluto cartoons by title? There is a noticeable but not extreme difference between the Collectors and Family play modes. I am happy to report that the Collectors Mode is truly quite challenging for Disney aficionados, which is nice for a change.
But, unfortunately, I think it goes a little too far; questions about canine actors and which animator did a particular gag in a specific Pluto short are things that no player is likely to give anything more than an educated guess.
For all the easy Disney trivia games out there, this one makes even hardcore fans feel lacking in some ways. Still, I guess that's a welcome break from tradition for us, those who visit or contribute to a site devoted to everything Disney. Honestly, even the Family version should be plenty challenging to many serious Disney fans.
And it's worth pointing out that ultimately, no matter how much knowledge of Disney films you have in your head, chance determines more, and regular guessing is inevitable. As good as this all may sound in theory, there are a number of shortcomings encountered when actually playing. The biggest is that the game takes a while to transition from the board to the question and from player to player. While slowness is determined by a matter of seconds, multiple them by the number of turns in an individual game, and it's considerable.
The tedious load times were experienced on a year-old Sony player, so I suspect they'll be widespread. On a DVD-ROM, they were practically absent, but then a family or group of four is less likely to gather around the computer for a game like this and if they were, the game could have been more elaborate.
In addition, both modes of the game are under-narrated, which might be fine in the long run, but makes gameplay slightly challenging at first, even if it's not complicated.
Note that there are some instructions available in the game via the question mark; having grown accustomed to asking for help in DVD set-top games, I missed these for a while, at no great loss. Without the instructions, even after several games, it becomes increasingly unclear whose turn it is and why a player gets to keep moving or not. Other minor issues worth noting: you must pay attention during other players' turns since activities are only introduced once; correct answers are not revealed if you're wrong, which extends the game's lifetime, but can be frustrating; it's slightly lame how you never see the other player s on the board though admittedly, this may have needlessly complicated things for the game's designers ; in Tod's Simon-type game, remembering the pattern doesn't make it easy to win, as something's strange in remote use here; if you leave your turn untended, your character may give you a look that prompts you for action or maybe even take a nap; and finally, at least one question had an answer I know to be wrong don't tell me I don't know which Coates brother is older.
As a final comment: positively the weirdest movie clip of all is the only one I saw repeated during multiple gameplays; in fact, it turned up in all four run-throughs. It is a scene from The Incredible Journey in which two bears seem to romance an old white dog as squirrels watch. Perhaps the game designers had a sense of humor, as this sequence is sure to inspire some laughter, perhaps punctuated by how random the follow-up question is.
Like other video games, Disney Dogs Edition comes with a rating from the ESRB, which is "E - Everyone", though one has to imagine that the bold "Tobacco Reference" claim which accompanies the rating on the back of the package is more embarrassing to the studio than useful for a prospective buyer parent.
Housed in a slipcover which "opens like a book" to preview the contents, though, its game roots are evident. Inside the case, one should find four inserts; two are merely subscription forms for tot-oriented Disney magazines, one is a form to enter a sweepstakes to "Win a Disney Preschool DVD Library", and the last and most exciting is a code for the Disney Movie Rewards program, which doubles as a coupon for party goods.
Just be careful in clipping, as the Rewards program's "magic code" turns up on the back within the dotted lines. Even DVD games don't escape the obligatory start-of-the-disc sneak peeks.
I'm here to report to the serious Disney fan that this is not true; in fact, the game's expectations especially in the Collectors Mode are a little too high. Still, it's nice to have a game that challenges even hardcore Disney fans, when so many like Disney Scene It?
