Wilby (Tommy Kirk) and his brother Moochie want a dog, but their father (Fred MacMurray) is allergic to dogs, so no luck. When a gorgeous girl moves in next door, Wilby and smooth operator Buzz (Tim Considine) vie for her attentions, but bigger problems arise when Wilby puts on a cursed ring and shape-shifts into a big sheepdog!
Shown in both original black and white and color (not too bad, actually), the movie is a very sweet trip down Memory Lane for former Mickey Mouse Clubbers like me who were madly in love with Tim Considine and wanted to be Annette (who plays sweet Allison). The plot about girl-crazy boys, a funny dog, and a threat to national security is big on laughs, thanks mainly to the considerable charm of all the actors, lead by MacMurray who is everyone's ideal dad. It's all squeaky-clean and adorable (and the 1959 clothes are a hoot).
The DVD extras with Kirk, Considine, Kevin Corcoran (Moochie) and Roberta Shore (the new girl next door) made it worth the price for me. Hearing their commentary and fond memories of making the movie and seeing them all grown-up was just great. Heartily recommended for those who remember this movie the first time around; it holds up pretty well and put a big smile on my face.

This is an old black and white disney movie classic. Wilby Daniels is a typical teenager with typical worries - except he also has to keep a check on whether he has turned in to a dog or not after being cursed by the Borgia ring. Along with this curse, Wilby also stumbles onto a plot which calls for him to save the day. This is a highly comical film with an interesting story line, although I believe it is sligtly let down by the anti-communist slant that american films had at this time. Still, a very entertaining film from an amazing film studio.

This timeless classic is actually better than the re-make version, after seeing the re-make; I wanted to see the original version and is far more hilarious with more impossible feats and joking gags...
Unlike the re-make, it tells the story of Wilby Daniels (Tommy Kirk) finds a rings and mistakenly hexes himself and now turns into a lumbering sheepdog. The only way to break this curse is doing a heroic act to stop constantly changing from the dog self to human. This act then comes when spies move into the neighbourhood planning to steal a government secret.
The result of the film is no secret as this provided much hilarity with a decent story of chases, gags, spies and spells I mean what more can anyone ask for and is great for everyone. The only slight note is that this film is in Black and White, but apart from that, this film is a must for any classic fan of disney and comedy films...
