An All Dogs Christmas Carol (1998) - full transcript

Can't catch me, slowpoke!

Scrumpy, where you going?

We're gonna be late for story time.

Scrumpy, come back!

Whoa!

Whoo!

Ha! I lost her!

Whoopee!

You cheated!Sore loser!

Are we late, Anabelle?
Are we?

It was all her fault!



It was not.

Ah, ah, ah!

Do you angels want to hear the story or not?

Oh, yes, Anabelle.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

This is a holiday story about three ghosts,

two bad dogs, and an evil witch!

Ghosts?

Huh! So it is a dumb old fairy-tale.

No, no, no.
It's all true.

In fact, the witch was my evil cousin.

Belladonna!

You mean the boogie-dog?



Yes.

This is how my two best guardian angels

tried to stop her from ruining Christmas.

Meet Charles Barkin,

and Itchy Itchiford.

Are they the ghosts?

Well...

I'll start at the beginning

and let you figure it out.

It was Christmas Eve,

and San Francisco was preparing

for a beautiful silent night.

Wow! Cool!

Wait a second.

This snow isn't cold!

Yeah, it's tropical snow.

It's popcorn!

Tasty tropical snow!

We want snow!

We want real snow.

Hey, I'm just a reindeer.

I can't promise you real snow.

Hey, chump!
Over here. Psst!

Charlie, I got the stuff!

But I can promise you each a present.

Hooray! Hey, wait for me!

Where's my present?

Presents! Yay!

Just remember to donate something for Timmy.

Well, hello, Sasha!

Hello yourself, tall, dark and Blitzen.

For you, cupid, I'm a Dasher.

So, you got lots of loot for Timmy?

Hmm?

Cha-ching!

Yes.

And it's really gonna help the little guy, Charlie.

Look at him.
Every day his leg gets worse,

but he never complains.

Yeah, hope the little squirt gets that operation.

He deserves it.

Hey, Charlie!

I only got four paws!

Charlie!

I know.

Hey, how about we distract the little tikes

with another song, hmm?

Yeah, let's all sing now.

One more time.

One more time.

♪ When we hear a Christmas carol

♪ We know that it's Christmas at last

♪ Every time we hear...

Bah, humbug!

Oh, no.
It's Carface and Killer!

Don't stop on my account.

I'm just here to collect a few debts.

Hey, mister, that wasn't nice!

Boo-hoo!

Now beat it, gimpy!

Well, I might get better.

But you'll be ugly forever!

Not bad, kid.

You got spunk.

But don't push your luck!

Big dope!

Okay, Killer, who's first?

Uh-huh...
Mmm-hmm...

Sasha, 10 bones.

What? Ten? No!

I only borrowed four.

Interest, honey.

I'm runnin' a business here, not a charity!

Oh, come on, Carface,

it's Christmas Eve, a time of giving.

Hmm?

Then give me the eight bones you owe me!

It's not due yet, you tightwad.

So I'm not paying now.

You'll pay now, Charlie.

In fact, you all will!

Allow me, boss.

Give.

Give. Give. Give.

Give. Give. Give.

Well, aren't you too generous?

Wow!

Okay, start loadin' up the stuff, Killer.

We're movin' out.

I said let's go!

Killer! Killer!

Oh... I used to have one of these in blue.

Oh! Hey!

Now, hop to it, you pea-brain!

♪ Now I'm dashin' through the snow

♪ With a big sack full of dough ♪

Oh! Oh, and grab them toys, too!

Season's greetings!

Losers!

Killer, move your tailbone!

What was that?

Oh, boy, food!

Huh?

What have we here?

Hey!

No. That's for Timmy's operation!

He won't recover without it. Stop!

Timmy needs that cash!

So do I, sister, so do I.

Hey, everybody, wake up!

Come on!

We were robbed!

Charlie. Charlie!

Charlie!
Quick! Over here!

Look, he stole Timmy's operation money.

I just... Ooh!
Let me at him!

What kind of creep would do that?

Charlie?

Why'd that guy take all our stuff?

Hey, never fear, little ones,

Santa's favorite reindeer

and his number one elf will get your presents back.

Every single one.

Thank you, Charlie.

Yay! Yay! Yay!

Thanks, Charlie.

We'll get those goodies back from Carface

before the mistletoe gets cold.

Hey, little man, it's getting late.

I think it's time to get you home.

Aw! I wanted to stay at the party.

But it's Christmas Eve.

And you know Martha must be missing you.

Yeah. You know...

She's not so bad for a human.

Am I going too fast, Timmy?

No, no.
I'm okay.

Look!
There's Martha!

Timmy!
Come here, puppy.

Come here, boy!

Thanks, Sasha.
Merry Christmas.

Oh...

Let's get you out of the cold.

And I'll bandage your leg again, okay?

Hey! Watch it!

Whoa! Watch what?

I can't see a thing.

Hey...

Oh! Whoa! Oh!

Whoa!
Easy, pal.

Too much partying, huh?

Ninety-four, 95, 96,

97, 98, 99,

100!

Oh, boy, boss, you sure know how to...

Oh, hi there.
I'm here to read the meter.

What? 9:00 on Christmas eve?

Yeah, holiday service.
Just point us...

I mean me to the meter, sir.

Right up here, guys.

Oh, sir...

Hey, Charlie!

Left.

Right! I mean, go ahead.

Careful!

Whoa!

Be careful. Be careful.
Okay.

We're at the top of the stairs, so turn right.

Nice try!

And a merry humbug!

Well, maybe we should've tried a wig.

Are you sure this is a good idea, Charlie?

I mean, a chimney?

Hey, it works for Santa, right?

Ow!
Hey, quit shovin'!

Charlie, I'm stuck on something!

You're kiddin', right?
No, I really am.

And in the twinkling,

I heard on the roof...

The prancing and yowling!

Of each little goof.

Stop hissing at me.

I'm not hissing.

What?

It could've been worse!

Steal Timmy's money, huh?

Drop me in the trash, huh?

And shoot me up a chimney, huh?

Okay, that's it!

Now we're gonna deck his hall!

Ready!

Yahoo!

Four, three, two, one.

Now!

Told you we'd get in.

Okay, Carface, give back Timmy's...

Dough!

Yeah.
You can't just waltz into our party and steal our stuff!

Sure I can.

I've got this.
Remember?

Hand it over, smart guy!

Ah, ah, ah!

I'd love to, Charlie,

but my boss just won't let me.

Boss? You don't have a boss.

Forgot me already, Chuckie?

Belladonna!

That's my name.

Don't wear it out.

So, Chuckie, seems you stumbled

onto my little plan, huh?

Don't talk to her, Charlie.

She's evil and nasty, and bad!

At least I'm more fun than my goody two shoes cousin!

Oh, look at me, Miss perfect Anabelle.

Head angel, queen of the clouds.

Watch me make it snow for the kiddies!

Give me that!

So what's this hotsy-totsy plan of yours, hmm?

Killer, do the honors.

At midnight, when every dog in town

is tucked into bed,

we're gonna blow a magic dog whistle.

Well...

And all those darling Fidos and Fidettes

will get that zombie look.

Give! Give! Give!

Give!

And then they'll drag their master's gift

right out of the doggy doors

and bring 'em here to me.

If chuckles here gets all the goodies,

what do you get?

Me? Hmm...

I get to ruin Christmas!

Except for one small point.

This little toot couldn't wake a whole city.

No. But this could!

Ooh!

It's gigantically humongous.

You just gotta stop her, Carface.

I'm beggin' you!

You know, Santa's watching you, Carface.

He knows if you've been sleepin'.

He knows if you're awake.

Forget it, Itch.
You can't reason with flunkies.

You gotta go to the source.

Okay, Spiky, where's that big whistle, hmm?

Ouch!

Somewhere where you'll never find it, hot shot!

Well, we're not leavin' till you tell us where it is!

Hey, even Killer and me don't know.

Do we? Yeah.

We don't know anything.

Oh, you'll be leaving all right.

Meet my fire imps!

Whoa!

Charlie!Come on Itch, let's go!

Wait for me!
Come on, get the lead out!

Down here!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Come on!

Ow!

Giddy up!

Left! This way!

Down here!

Charlie, where do you suppose

Belladonna hid that giant whistle?

Ooh.
Well, that's gonna be tender.

That's gonna be tender till the rose parade.

Or maybe even till June.

Mmm. Big yucks, Itch.
Really big yucks.

Charlie, what do we do now?

Ah, you got me, Itch.

You mustn't give up, Charles.

Whatever you say, Anabelle.

Anabelle?

Oh, goodie!
We could use your help!

I have an urgent angelic mission for you both.

You must stop Belladonna's evil plot!

This affects thousands of families.

So failure is not an option!

Anabelle, for once you don't have to ask me twice.

Yeah, Charlie!
Nobody rips off kids while we're on duty.

Now, I've left you something
to help with your assignment.

It will provide you with enough magic

to devise a major plan!

A miracle dog tag!
Great!

We'll find that big whistle in no time.

Sorry, Charles,

there's only so much I'm allowed to do.

This tag won't locate the whistle.

It will, however,

help you find a way to foil Belladonna's plans.

So think, boys, think.

It's up to you to save Christmas.

Ah, I don't know.

Do you think we could turn Carface into a good guy?

Good guy? Ha!

Don't make me laugh!

That mutt is a total scrooge!

Itchy, baby!
That's brilliant!

Mmm, it is?

Yeah.
We're gonna run a scam on old Carface.

A Dickens of a scam.

Dickens?

You know, that English guy who wrote...

A Christmas Carol!
Right!

Now, remember how those three
ghosts came to visit Scrooge?

Uh, no.

I don't like ghosts.
Nothin' doin', Charlie.

Oh, don't worry, Itchy,

you won't see any ghosts.

You sure? 'Cause you're gonna be one.

Come on, Itchykins, my boy.

Are you serious?

You talkin' ghosts?

Not for me, Charlie.
No way. Mmm-mmm!

Oh, tag...

A little Christmas Carolmagic,
if you please.

Ah!

What do you want?

What are you doing in bed anyway?

Our big heist is at midnight.

Nah, I need my beauty rest so's I can look good!

Now scram!

Ow!

Watch it!

Television.

Bah, humbug!

I hate these Christmas specials!

Welcome to CCN,

the Carface Carruthers Network.

Huh?

That's me!

Good evening.
I'm Jacob Charlie.

Welcome to our holiday special,

"It's a Wonderful Carface."

Uh-uh.

I don't think so.

In this story, you will be visited by three ghosts!

Each will arrive
at the chiming of a bell.

I'll ring your bell, buddy!

Ah, there's the first one.

Time for ghost number one.

So let's go back to a simpler time.

That's where I was born!

Hey, what gives?

Huh?

Itchy, what's going on?

I am not Itchy!
I am the Ghost of Christmas Past!

With short legs!

Oh...

Do I look like I was born yesterday?

Huh?

As a matter of fact, yes!

Mom?
That's my mom!

Yeah, and that's you, only smaller.

Mom, it's me, Carface.

Oh, she can't hear you.
This is the past.

You know, like a flashback.

Boy, this really brings back memories.

I miss my brothers and sisters.

I bet they don't miss you.

Wasn't I precious?

Pushy is more like it.

Yeah. But Mom still loved me.

That was our last Christmas together.

I never spent another holiday with Mom.

Oh, Mom...

I miss you.

Come! We have other places to see!

But I want to watch how cute I am.

Hey, what took ya?

Hey, it's the Parker house.

This was my first human family.

Oh, and there's Bobby.

And there I am!

There I am.

I got away with murder at this place!

Yeah, right from the get-go,
I was a heck-raiser, boy.

Just like now.

Sharp, slick, fast-livin'.

Oh, poor little guy.

Tell me about it.

From that day on,

I never trusted nobody again!

And that nobody includes you!

I forgot how much I hated Christmas!

Thanks for reminding me, you dumb ghost!

You dumb ghost!

You dumb ghost!

You...

Oh!

Oh...

Just a bad dream.

I must've ate some bad moo goo or something.

Hey!

Ah, just go to sleep.

Bah, humbug.

So, how'd it go?

Oh, not good, Charlie.

Carface is madder than ever.

I mean, I didn't know he had such a rough puppyhood!

A lot of us did, Itchy,

but we didn't all go turning nasty.

We're just gonna have to work a little harder.

But, Charlie,

there's only an hour and a half left till Christmas.

I know that, Itch.

That's why we've got to unleash part two

of the miracle.

Come, ye storms and grow in strife.

Split the sky with lightning rife.

Strike at midnight like a knife,

and bring to my creation life!

Christmas is finished!

Finished!

Huh?

Ah! Another ghost!

Aw, stupid dreams.

Huh?

Ah!

Maybe a little music

will calm my nerves.

Locally, a sudden low pressure
system has hit the bay area,

causing unexpected storm clouds.

And at the tone, the time will be

past your bedtime, Carface!

Carface?

Another bell!

No! No!
Not again!

No more ghosts!
No more ghosts, you hear me?

This isn't happening!

Did you call?

Boss?

Yoo-hoo!

Hmm. Must've gone out for more junk food.

What is this place?

I don't like this.

Anyone here?

Now, look, lady,

I'd like to go home now, okay?

Please?

I am the Ghost of Christmas Present!

Touch my robe.

Nice. Is this a cotton blend?

Follow me!

We have scenes of holiday joy to visit.

No! No, No!
I hate Christmas.

No! No, no!

Oh, come on, you big baby!

Behold a familiar sight.

Hey, this is my place.

I don't celebrate no holiday joy.

No! But someone else does!

Killer!

This baby will cut through bank safes like butter!

And it's monogrammed too.

Oh, ho!
I hope the boss likes it.

A blowtorch for me?

I didn't know he cared,

and after the rotten way I treat him, too.

Why would he do that?

It makes him feel good. See?

He's not such a bad guy, is he?

I mean, I've known the little weasel for years,

but who knew?

There's a lot you don't know.

And what's that supposed to mean?

Huh? Not again.

Oh, brother,

I've eaten out of dumpsters
classier than this joint.

So what's the big draw here?

It's Timmy.

Cute kid.

Looks kind of familiar, too.

Hey, I remember this kid.

You should!
You robbed him!

Aw, but...

It... It was only a few bucks.

Meant for his operation!
BARKING]

It's... It's more than just a bum leg?

Oh, wake up!

Unless the future is changed somehow,

Timmy will not make it.

Five to one says he makes it, hmm?

You see?
He's a scrapper, like me.

Atta boy!

Oh, Timmy, are you okay?

Oh...

Oh, no, the plate.

Martha?
What's going on in there?

Did I hear something break?

Well, Timmy, you really did it this time.

Martha, was it Timmy again?

Uh...

Uh-oh, busted!

Well, young lady?

This puppy is your responsibility.

Oh, not again!

You watch!
The kid'll blame the pup,

and he'll get tossed!

Um... I thought I heard Santa,

so I rushed over and...

It sort of broke.

Hey, she took the rap for him!

You mean you broke the plate?

No, no, kid, don't tell her that!

Good boy!

You did the right thing, and I'm proud of you!

Oh, man, I thought he was a goner for sure.

That lucky pup.

Yes... Lucky to have an understanding family.

Oh, not really.

You see, these people are quite poor.

You mean they might have to get rid of Timmy?

Oh, no!

They can't!
He might get sicker!

That's right.

And without proper care, this will be his last Christmas.

Someone should look out for him.

Why?

'Cause no... Nobody ever did that for me.

Poor puppy.

Poor pup.

Ah, poor puppy.

Poor me.

Hey! I'm sick of you ghosts, you hear me?

In an hour I'm gonna blow that whistle!

And you can't stop me!

Bah, humbug!

Oh, no, we're losing him!

I'm not scared of you!

You see?

Don't worry, Sasha.

The miracle tag has one more trick.

Hey!

Woah.

I'm not scared at all!

Hey, the comics.

No. No.

Are... Are you the Ghost of Christmas Future?

And you're gonna show me what will happen?

Oh...

Hey... I know this place.

Okay, here you go.

Here's to Carface.

No more crummy loans.

Mmm-hmm.
And no more lost silverware!

And no more him.

May he never return!

Hear, hear!

Never return?

Where'd I go?

Tell me, please.

Hey, hold on.
It's tonight, isn't it?

Belladonna's gonna blow that whistle!

Timmy, don't you listen!

No, kid!
No, don't do it!

You got a great home here.

Don't ruin it!

Don't ruin it!

No, it's not him!
It's that whistle!

It's that whistle!

Hey, snap out of it!

Fight it, Timmy!
Fight it!

Stop!

No, no, no!
This is my fault!

Not his!

Don't let this happen!

Oh! How do I stop this?

Tell me!

Tell me!

You know all the angles.

You figure it out.

It's not midnight yet.

There's still a chance to change things.

And I will!

I'm gonna stop Belladonna!

Thank you, ghosts!

Thanks for the wake-up call!

Wake-up call!

It's time to go!

Wow!

No, I can't!

This plan is evil.

I got to stop the plan, yeah!

I got to stop the plan.

Uh, you're mumbling, boss.

You need some more rest?

No.

No, it's not right.
It's not.

What? What?

Almost midnight, boys!

Let's mambo!

Well, the miracle tag has worn off.

Guess our jobs are done.

So what do we do now?

Now?

Hey! Hey! Hey!

♪ When we hear a Christmas carol

♪ We know that it's...

Hey! Not now!

Huh? Huh?

We just sit back

and trust Carface to do the right thing.

Quick!
We got to find that whistle!

Now!

Now?

♪ When we hear a Christmas carol

♪ We know that it's Christmas at last ♪

Not now!

Huh? Huh?

Just think, here sits the worst threat to Christmas ever!

And nobody suspects that it's right here!

On Alcatraz Island!

Pull the tarp!

Soon the storm will break,

and lightning will race down here to the steam generator.

Then the whistle will blow and every mutt

in San Francisco will fall under my spell!

Now get to work, slugs.
It's almost midnight.

Carface, get to the console!

Yes, sir...
Uh, ma'am!

Am I really gonna do this?

What about Timmy?

Ready on the controls.

Uh...

Uh-uh.

Any luck?

I'm sorry, Charlie.

We ran our paws off.

But we couldn't find a trace
of that whistle anywhere.

Yeah, me neither.

You tried, Charlie.

We did everything heavenly possible!

Don't worry.
It'll be okay.

One minute to Christmas,

sugars!

Pull the lever!

Huh?

It's working!

Christmas is ruined!

You just gotta stop her, Carface!

I'm beggin' you!

You know all the angles.

You figure it out.

Without proper care, this will be his last Christmas.

Last Christmas.

Ah! No, no, no.

I won't let it happen!

Whoa! Huh?

Put it back!

I've gotta do something.

Get off!
Let go!

I gotta stop this!

I gotta save Timmy.

Give him another chance for that operation.

Aw...

This is for Timmy!

No!

Huh?

♪ You got zapped And not me

♪ You got zapped And not me

♪ You got zapped...

Ow!

What happened?

It was all...

Yes?

My fault.

For once, he took the rap.

Wow!

I don't care who takes the rap!

You're both gonna get it!

Nobody double-crosses Belladonna and lives!

Halt!

You will not harm these two.

Anabelle, get out of my line of fire!

Try it, and I'll clip your wings!

That bug belongs to me!

No, cousin, people belong to themselves.

So they can choose between good or evil.

And it's my duty to protect that.

You protect him from me?

With what?
A smile and a sunbeam?

Your ways are big and fiery.

So I will stop you with something small and cool.

Snowflakes?

Snow can't stop me!

Duck!

Dang!

Ha! Nobody messes with heaven.

Ah... Thanks, Anabelle.

Ah, pish!

Think nothing of it.

You did all the work, Mr. Carruthers.

Oh, yeah!
Great work, big guy.

Oh, I feel a group hug coming on!

Or not.

Somewhere deep inside you

is a sliver of good, Mr. Carruthers.

Try to let it out more often.

Oh, look, boss, we're headed for home.

Oh! And good work!

Snow! Snow!

Hey, Mr. Reindeer,

look, you made it snow after all!

Thanks!

Wow!

Charlie, what does this mean?

It means our plan worked.

We convinced Carface to save Christmas!

Actually, Charlie, the final decision

belonged to Carface.

Yes, and he chose correctly.

See? I told you all along we could trust him.

Ow!

Well, congratulations

on your most important mission.

This will be a story to repeat for years to come.

I just feel so bad for those pups

because we don't have any P-R-E-S...

Uh...

Gifts left, you know.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

It's easy for him to be jolly!

He's not pulling this darn thing!

Ow!

Here you go, kids!
Here you are!

Really noble, Carface,

bringing back the gifts you stole.

Hey, you kiddin'?

I added lots of new stuff too.

No foolin'?

Hey, nice going.

Ain't I a little dickens?

Hey! And I want you to meet my new pal!

Timmy!

Look, Charlie!

Uncle Carface filled it up full!

Uncle?

I never thought I'd hear myself bark these words,

but you did the right thing for once.

Don't expect it to last long.

I still got a business to run, you know.

At least you were sweet for a day.

Aw!

This calls for a song!

Okay, now go. Now.

Now!

Now?

♪ When we hear a Christmas carol

♪ We know that it's Christmas at last

♪ Every time we hear A Christmas carol

♪ We know that it's Christmas at last

♪ We've gone from spring into summer

♪ From fall into winter...

Hey, why don't you stick around for the party, big boy?

I'd love to,

but I'm gonna go visit my mom.

It's been a long time.

Mush!

Easy on the pelt!

Merry Christmas!

God bless!

Yes, God bless us, every one!

And all I can add to that is

Merry Christmas!

And that goes double for us!
