The animated musical fantasy comedy-drama film All Dogs Go to Heaven was released on November 17, 1989. Directed by Don Bluth, with co-direction by Gary Goldman and Dan Kuenster, and produced by Don Bluth, Gary Goldman, and John Pomeroy, the movie tells the story of Charlie B. Barkin, a mischievous German Shepherd. After being murdered by his rival Carface, Charlie cons his way out of Heaven and returns to Earth to seek revenge. During his quest, he befriends Anne-Marie, an orphaned girl who can speak to animals, leading Charlie on a path of redemption and friendship.
The major voice actors and actresses in the film include Burt Reynolds as Charlie B. Barkin, Dom DeLuise as Itchy Itchiford, Judith Barsi as Anne-Marie (in her final role), Loni Anderson as Flo, Charles Nelson Reilly as Killer, and Vic Tayback as Carface.
The film's domestic box office gross was $27.1 million worldwide against a budget of $13.8 million, indicating a modest theatrical performance. However, All Dogs Go to Heaven found significant success on home video, becoming a popular release that led to a sequel and a television series.
