Here are 6 movies about pets that you surely saw in your childhood

‘Like cats and dogs’, and comic espionage

The disenchantment between cats and dogs may be one of the most cliché things in the world of entertainment, but it is still a reliable formula. And if we add to that an espionage plot, what we get is the curious Like dogs and cats (either Cats & Dogs in its original title) from 2001.

It is known that the film was not exactly praised by critics, but it was quite striking at the time. The cast (including the voices) was quite outstanding: Jeff Goldblum, Tobey Maguire, Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Charlton Heston, Jon Lovitz, Michael Clark Duncan... Pretty cool, isn’t it?

Also, there was a clever story about how an evil Persian cat wants to take over the world by banishing dogs as ‘man’s best friends’, taking on a canine spy agency in the adventure. It’s one of those pet movies that if you accidentally find it on TV, you keep watching it. Yes or no? You can see it on HBO Max.

‘Babe the Brave Little Pig’ is a very inspiring movie

There is absolutely no one who has not seen (or at least heard the name) of this incredible jewel that is Babe the brave little pig. Not only is it an entertaining story, but it is also very moving and emotional.

The plot introduces us to an orphaned piglet that after a series of circumstances, Its objective is to dedicate itself to grazing sheep on a farm. The thing is that, as you know, herding is a common activity for dogs, so the adorable little pig’s dream causes everyone around him to make fun of him.

As if that were not enough, there is a moment in the movie where they want to kill the pig due to a mix-up. So as adorable as the movie can be, it does have its edgy side. But in the end, the film is a nice reminder that where we come from doesn’t quite define who we are.

Furthermore, the film was so moving that James Cromwell, who played farmer Arthur Hoggetthe changed his eating habits and became a vegan. And in turn, it got many Oscar nominations in 1996. Inspirational film that is available for purchase and rental on different platforms.

‘Beethoven’ is one of the pet movies that became cult

beethoven divided critics and audiences. While many people found this film a nice product to spend some time with the family, critics were not so convinced by what was shown on the screen. But hey, that’s how it is with the movies…

One way or the other, beethoven it has won the hearts of many people since its launch in 1992 for two reasons: lThe appearance of that beautiful and playful Saint Bernard dog whom we see grow up in the first 20 minutes of the film, and the grumpy potato performance of Charles Grondin who initially does not want the pet, but ends up becoming attached to it.

You can find this movie available for rent on various streaming platforms (or you can watch it on open TV because suddenly it’s on Sunday).

‘All dogs go to heaven’ is one of those animated movies that make you cry

All dogs Go to Heaven It was launched in 1989 and had everything to be a total success with hints of a classic. The thing is that at the time of its theatrical release, there was another animated movie that grabbed the attention: The little Mermaid.

It is true that we do not talk very regularly about All dogs Go to Heavenbut it is a jewel that although it is a children’s film, it presents us with a very serious story on topics such as what it means to redeem yourself and see for others beyond our own interests.

Charlie’s character is a dog who is killed by an old friend. When he gets to heaven, he tries his best to come back to life and when he does, he tries to get revenge on his ex-partner… Knowing that his rash act of coming back to life could cost him his place in heaven, Charlie tries to exact his revenge..

But then he meets a little orphan girl who will lead him towards redemption, thus making Charlie stop thinking about himself and start caring about others. If you haven’t seen it, let us tell you that this is one of the pet movies that makes you choke up yes or yes. You can see it on HBO Max.

‘Free Willy’ is an unmissable classic

As babe, Set Willy free It is another movie that we have all seen or heard at least. And in that sense, It is more than clear that it is an all-time movie classic.

Jesse is an orphan (adoptive) and rebellious boy, who seems incorrigible. And that’s how he gets a job at a water park to make up for his vandalism… There he will meet a peculiar orca with whom he forms a bond as rare as it is emotional..

The story works on so many levels, but most of all, we love that Jesse and Willy become so close as they both know what it’s like to be away from their real families. And besides, this tape became a classic for that classic Willy jumping scene to escape to a life away from the aquarium’s slavery, where they planned to kill her. You can see it on HBO Max.

‘Balto’, another underrated animated classic

Well, underrated not entirely, but it is a fact that balto He has not received the merit that he should. It is one of those pet movies that perhaps many of us remember more for having seen it more on TV than in the movies, and we could even say that it is a bit cult.

Anyway, we will never forget that beautiful story of the wolf-dog who was mocked by the whole world for being mixed, but who in the end everyone ended up loving thanks to the fact that he became the hero of an entire town.

And another important thing is that many people sometimes forget that the movie is based on a true story of a Siberian husky who hauled sledges to bring medicine to a community sick with diphtheria in 1925. You can watch it on various streaming services such as purchase or rental.
