    4.0 out of 5 stars What is...unconditional love? A Man's Affection for his Dog, April 27, 2011

    This review is from: My Dog Tulip (DVD)
    This is a story about the cure of loneliness...in a sense not remarkable, and yet told simply and with great heart. An unhappy bachelor (middle aged and middle class) has always felt unfulfilled in his love life. Then in his 50's he takes a chance and brings home an abused female German shepherd dog as his friend.

    And so what we have are the daily routines - so to speak - of a man and his dog. Taking her out to the park, finding a mate for her, cleaning up after her. Tulip (the name of the dog) loves Mr. Ackerley unconditionally and through that love, he learns to love her the same way. There are no madcap adventures...no maudlin sentimentalities - no heroics - just the developing affection that the two share, as both of them get older.

    What makes this film work so well is the marvelous artwork...No, it is not precise, bright, or boldly drawn. Instead, the art resembles child painting experimenting with watercolors. A street scene, a park, or the... Read more

    This review is from: My Dog Tulip (DVD)
    Based on the acclaimed memoir of out writer J. R. Ackerley (a hero of mine), "My Dog Tulip" is a love letter to dog owners everywhere, and belongs to a select group of animated features made for and about adults.

    About as far away in substance and style as you can get from Disney's "Lady and the Tramp," this film follows a lonely old man (voiced by Christopher Plummer) who finds the ideal companion in an Alsatian bitch named Queenie. Ill behaved and overly protective, Queenie quickly establishes herself as a lovingly disruptive fixture in Ackerley's life and home. Brian Murray, Isabella Rossellini and the late Lynn Redgrave give voice to the other human characters (no, the dog does not speak!).

    This is strange material that will not appeal to everyone. There is an inordinate amount of attention paid to the dog's bodily functions, from bowel movements to estrous cycles. Still, this is filled with droll humor and acidic wit; it is like nothing... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful love story, December 23, 2011
    This review is from: My Dog Tulip (DVD)
    I loved My Dog Tulip. I'm a dog lover and could definitely relate to the main character and the trials, tribulations, and explosions of love he experiences as he adapts to life with a dog, who in essence becomes mistress of his apartment, keeper to the keys of his heart, and his best friend.

    Tulip is a naughty dog; she relieves herself in front of shopfronts and spills the groceries in her excitement to go for a walk.

    And yet--this is a very touching portrait of a man's relationship with his canine companion. It's based on the protagonist's real-life memoirs, and is sprinkled with sophisticated and affectionate observations about Tulip. In some instances, she takes on the characteristics of a person. Dog lovers know what I'm talking about.

    For instance, her owner likens her frenzied scattering of the carrots he bought to the scattering of rose petals as Tulip ascends to heaven, in her case, a walk. Lovely!

    This film was done entirely, I... Read more
