I was going through tapes I had as a kid and I found this movie called Scruffy. It is supposed to be a “childrens movie” but it is the most disturbing movie I have ever seen in my life. It contains: mulitple deaths, alcholism,schizophrenia, prostitution(well, we think there are metaphors for that ), homelessness, racisism, “day of the week deathcages”, abandonment, fighting, burglerly, drowning, fires, and other horrible things. Here are my favorite quotes from the movie: “… and when she is alone… I WANT TO KNOW!”, “the way he tossed me around, I will be stiff for months!”, “There she is! Do it right, take it easy, and remember to smile!”.
Did I mention it is an animated movie based on a true story of a dog and in the end is just a lesson that we should adopt more dogs? That didn’t seem important at the time… lmao
I remember that! Nancy McKeon (“Jo” from Facts of Life)does the voice of Scruffy.
And there was a collie that carried around a boot as her “puppy” because they’d all died. That made me sad.
It is sad but I find it f*cking histarical! All the dogs in the junkyard have WWWWAAAYYY to many issues. I still don’t get what bar maid would get a starving drunk at the bar no less. I love the fact that there is a “free lunch sign” in the backround…
*starving dog drunk and at the bar no less
