This is a short movie which was generated from the show 'The Jim Henson hour' which was aired back in 89' and is completely acted out with puppets in true Henson style. As the title will suggest it is set in Dog City and yes all of the charactors are various breeds of dogs but the great part of this movie is that it plays a parody on your standard gangster film. The film is set around a bar which after his uncle dies is inherited by the charactor 'Ace Yu', what he doesnt realise is that the local Godfather has a racket going and from here on in the fun and games begin in true gangster-esque movie fashion. This is good harmless fun for both Adults and Kids alike and I believe anything that Jim Henson put his hand to was awesome!

Made in the 1980s this movie contains material that would probably not be allowed for children in this PC-mad age. I remember Jim Henson saying on set that it was the most fun he'd ever making a production. I was the character designer and changed the writer's original canine choice for Bugsy, the gangland boss from a German Shepherd to a Bulldog. The puppet was made by the incomparable Ed Christie, who also built Mad Dog, the broken-nosed 'heavy' I based on the actor Victor McGlaglen. Jim Henson loved Bugsy and decided to play him himself, with all the abandon he had to rein in on The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. Dog City was the canine On the Waterfront but with tons of wit from a great writer. Great lines, great puppets, great fun! Bruce McNally
