The Shaggy Dog Ratings & Reviews
The Catholic World
Moira Walsh
It is a real shaggy dog story in the sense of having neither explanation nor point. It is intelligently made however and surprisingly likeable especially for youngsters. Also its lunatic premise gives rise to some pricelessly funny bits.
Common Sense Media
Polly M. Robertus
A lovable mutt of a classic comedy.
TIME Magazine
Unhappily, Producer Walt Disney tells his shaggy-dog story so doggedly that he soon runs it into the pound.
TV Guide
It not only marked the return of Fred MacMurray to comedy -- in which he got his start in the 1930s--but it also convinced the Disney folks that the combination of situation comedy and fantasy was an idea worth pursuing.
Variety
Variety Staff
There are a good many laughs on this simple premise and the script's exploitation of them.
New York Times
Howard Thompson
Brisk but unrewarding.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
The Shaggy Dog is classic Disney. It's a bit lost on the kids of today - especially the younger ones.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
The Shaggy Dog may have been made strictly for kids, but it is still cute enough for adults to get a kick out of.
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
Silly but solid Disney live-action take on werewolf transformations!
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
This 1959 film was Disney's first live-action comedy; it isn't good, but it's certainly mythic.

Kevin A. Ranson
A lost classic from a simpler time.
