Summary: closer to the novel than the series
Comment: The novel of "A Dog of Flanders" was just a few pages long. So dragging this on to 52 episodes as in the World Masterpiece Theater anime adaptation would mean to add many irrelevant characters and side-stories.
The movie stays closer to the novel, except that here Nello and Allois are some years younger. The design looks a lot like the 1975 series in order to be accessible to children, but this time the characters look a lot better and some nice CGI designs of Antwerb and the countryside were added.
I also watched the Japanese version that lasted 102 minutes, that had some scenes that were omitted in the English DVD release, like the one alluding to some possible love relation between Nello and Allois, even if they're younger than in the novel. But regarding cruelty to animals the original is not any different from the English version.
Only in the 1975 series there is a graphic depiction of animal abuse. And there the Japanese voice actress of Allois is much better. Still the English dub is very good and the first time I watched it it left an impression.
Very well directed movie, but better read the book and try to find the anime series of 1975 or the 1992 anime remake that is supposed to stay closer to the novel.

Summary: So sweet yet sad.
Comment: I've heard about "The Dog of Flanders" years ago, & now that I have bought & seen it, I am glad I did. I loved every moment! Several scenes I cried, especially when poor Nello would be turned away just because he was poor. ;_; It even caught the attention of my mother, who hates anime. :P It's a very sweet & entertaining version of the classic tale. I know kids & their families would enjoy it very much. So if you're an anime fan looking for a good anime movie, or if you just want a movie to cherish forever, then this movie is the one for you. I guarantee you wiil not be sorry.

Summary: One of the Best Moives Ever!
Comment: THe Dog of Flanders seemed like just another kids movie to me when I first checked it out from our library. Now I am 14 and I still cry buckets full every time I watch this. ANd I NEVER CRY during movies. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves the japenese style of animations. But it is not for very young children (the story deals alot with death and harship). THis is definitely a must see!

Summary: The Dog of Flanders - It was okay.
Comment: C'mon, they could have made it better. I thought the animation was cute and all, but it just doesn't cut it. It's emotional, but I'd reccomend Disney to kids...more appealing. It's just one of those rare movies that's...I'm at a loss for words. If you're emotional and love "classics", check it out...I guess.

Summary: This is not 1975, but 1999 version.
Comment: This movie is based on TV animation which was produced in 1975, but completely re-produced. I think this is much better than US version directed by Kevin Brodie, which was mess.
