If you haven’t rewatched this one or reread the Scholastic novelization since the 90s, you might wanna check it out. This dog really gets into some funny business

Didn’t this one have some edgy humor for a children’s movie?

You could say that, Bingo reads a dog version of Playboy and Californicates with a lady dog. I guess he drinks a bottle of champagne too and has to do a field sobriety test. There’s roadside butchers that make bootleg hot dogs out of dogs that the family eats. It’s kinda like Homeward Bound but the kid keeps making his family stop along the way to Green Bay (his dad got a new job as the kicker for the Packers) so he can pee on things to help Bingo follow them. He gets shot at a lot. On paper a lot of the movie sounds like something Harmony Korine would come up with but it’s directed by a shoddy Steven Spielberg type

Are we talking 90s dog movies or 80s and 90s? Because ya got Balto, Iron Will, Turner and Hooch(who is crazy), and Reservoir Dogs.

Balto wasn’t really the hero dog that the movie made him out to be though, it was Togo that led on most of the trail. I’ve seen the taxidermy of Balto at the museum in Cleveland though

I bought the book adapted from movie from the Scholastic Book Fair in elementary school. It had a section of full color photos from the movie in the middle

I did too! I did a report on it.

I did that with novelizations of Tombstone and Don Juan Demarco, I don’t think I really read much of either book though, it was easy because you could just write stuff that happened in the movies

You’re better than me. I think it came along when I was putting all my attention into a Bo Jackson book so I just looked at the pictures

ngl that was the best part fr color photos hit different when you were a kid
roadkillmenagerie@reddit
They were in a book and glossy so not that mean construction paper texture. I was like, ‘wait, why does everyone say books don’t have pictures?’
