Like most film adaptations the story is cut short in important areas and not long enough in others. The story also deals with a pagan belief in reincarnation so I would caution some parents about that. I read the dog's purpose and dog's journey books and I am offended at some of the major changes that take place in the film. Before the movie's release, a controversy emerged about whether the animal performers were mistreated on the set an investigation proved that the video was edited in a misleading manner. Look for clear messages about empathy and the importance of companionship, both human and animal. Strong language is infrequent (but includes "s-t"), and couples don't do much more than kiss. There are some violent/upsetting scenes: An alcoholic, abusive father pushes his wife and son a man kidnaps a girl, threatens her, throws her in the water, and shoots at a police officer and his dog a neglectful dog owner keeps his dog chained and then purposely lets him go astray and a fire causes a catastrophic injury for a young man. Bruce Cameron's 2010 novel about a dog (voiced by Josh Gad) that's reincarnated several times from the 1950s through the 2000s (the dog keeps its memories/personality, despite being different breeds and genders). “A Dog’s Purpose,” which stars Dennis Quaid, Britt Robertson and Josh Gad, is scheduled to be released into theaters January 27, 2017.Parents need to know that A Dog's Purpose is an emotional drama based on W.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are calling for a boycott of the movie, saying in a tweet that they want to “send the message that dogs & other animals should be treated humanely, not as props.”
“Fostering a safe environment and ensuring the ethical treatment of our animal actors was of the utmost importance to those involved in making this film.” Universal Pictures and entertainment company Amblin told TMZ they would investigate, and issued this statement: It’s unclear whether or not the final scene was scripted, but TMZ reports that director Lasse Hallström was on set at the time, and at least one crew member was “extremely disturbed” after seeing what happened to the German shepherd. The German shepherd finally slips under the surface after running into the wall of the pool, and someone off camera can be heard yelling, “Cut it,” as trainers rush over. The second scene shows the dog struggling to keep its head up as the swirling water carries it across the pool.
Sources told TMZ that eight outboard motors were used to create the churning water.Īnother man, who doesn’t appear on camera, can be heard saying, “He ain’t gonna calm down until he goes in the water … you just gotta throw him in.” The footage shows the dog struggling to stay out of the swirling, frothy water as a trainer forces it in. The video was recorded in 2015 at a set outside Winnipeg, Canada, according to TMZ. WINNIPEG, Canada – Animal lovers are calling for a boycott of “A Dog’s Purpose” Wednesday after TMZ published disturbing video the site says was taken on the set.
