PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Get ready for tail-wagging, tongue-flapping fun this summer as Lionsgate Home Entertainment releases Jim Henson’s Dog City: The Movie, available for the first time ever on DVD and as a digital download! As the winner of the Primetime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Directing in a Variety or Music Program in 1989, this hilarious Henson comedy classic arrives in stores with a devoted fan base. Adults who were fans of The Jim Henson Company’s productions in their youth can share Jim Henson’s Dog City: The Movie with their children, as the movie features both edgy humor and puppet fun brought to life as only The Jim Henson Company can. The film was so successful that it inspired a “Dog City” animated series that aired on FOX in the early 1990s. Containing special features that include original movie concept art and a behind-the-scenes image gallery, Jim Henson’s Dog City: The Movie will be available on June 8, 2010 for the suggested retail price of $14.98.
SYNOPSIS
Dog City: The Movie is an Emmy® award-winning Jim Henson Comedy Classic. Directed by Jim Henson, this parody of film noir gangster films takes us through the busy but dangerous town of Dog City, teeming with colorful dog puppet characters. Our hero, Ace, enters the world of bulldog gangsters and terrier molls when he inherits a saloon, “The Doghouse,” from his late Uncle Harry. Unwilling to pay protection money, Ace finds himself the target of Bugsy, a bulldog bully who owns most of Dog City, and also happens to be one of the foremost proponents of senseless violence. Ace also comes nose to nose with a beautiful runaway collie named Colleen. Colleen and Ace team up to take on Bugsy and his thugs in the tumultuous, dog-eat-dog world of Dog City.
