Because of the director decided to give the dogs human emotions, we were able to identify with them and the struggles they were going through a lot better. Compared to The Kestrel's Eye, where there was no dialogue or music, the audience couldn't connect as easily with them. This does pose the question however, that if there was no music or dialogue in Plague Dogs, would the same emotions that we experienced be present? I believe so just because this was an animated film and the viewer could easily distinguish what was occurring .
This film by far was a difficult film to watch because it was so depressing to watch the dogs flee from humans who want to kill them. As well as the accidents that the dogs provoke were very grotesque. It can be depressing as well because it is safe to say that we all have had a dog or at least got to pet one. It would be difficult for us see our own dogs struggle through what these dogs went through.
Therefore, this film does a good job in addressing the issues of animal experimentation and it causes one to think that if the results of the experiments really worth the pain the dogs are put through? However, one has to realize that this movie was a cartoon and was a bit dramatized as well. But nevertheless, it does point out things that must be changed in animal experimentation. Methods should be drastically changed to not cause so much stress and pain on the animals. Because animal experimentation has been around for so long, and it has led to so many discoveries, so more important than others, that it would be difficult to completely abolish it in an instant. However, new methods can be developed that better facilitate the animals used. Overall, this was a good film in that it addresses the issues of animal experimentation. However, i wouldn't recommend it to any kids.
