A little dog leaves the title character by the side of a road, wondering why its exists. Over the course of several months, Poo meets a leaf, a hen, and a lump of soil, who assures it, "God has not created you for no reason." But little Poo feels rejected until a dandelion sprout accepts it as fertilizer. The message that even the humblest have a place in creation is a worthy one, but Doggy Poo is a long way from Dr. Seuss's "A person's a person, no matter how small." The stop-motion Poo character whines constantly, and the story unfolds at a leaden pace. Parents who find Doggy Poo acceptable viewing for young children--clearly the intended audience--may have to steer their kids away from the genuine article. (Rated: G, all ages; parents may find images of excrement inappropriate for children's entertainment) --Charles Solomon

Unique........2007-06-30

This DVD is just awesome. Yes, the topic is unconventional, but it is extremely well-done. Although the case says it is longer, the show itself is only 30 minutes. The stop-motion animation and score (mostly piano and violin) are wonderful, and the whole story is surprisingly gentle for the subject matter. There is nothing harsh here, but rather poetic.

I would also recommend this film to Christians. There is a strong emphasis on God creating all things for a purpose, even if it is not immediately apparent. There is also a nice element of embracing self-sacrifice for the greater good.

My husband and I were very impressed with this film, and he even said it was one of the most awesome things he'd ever seen. Oh, and my 4-year-old liked it too!

A crappy movie about crap.......2006-01-06

I am never usually harsh, but its about a terd. Does he find a purpose? Yes, in 'dying' for a flower. Lol, i got it because I though it was funny, but it's serious.
it is kinda funny because the whole concept is stupid. No one cares about a pile of poo like that. It was good that pile of dogpoop died, lol. Tell your kids that. After this movie, kids might play with poop or want to with a terd. What a perverted movie. dont treat your kids like idiots.

a tender and moving story.......2005-08-30

This is a wonderful story that my child and I loved watching together. It is a tender and moving tale that we have watched over and over again. At first the title made me a little skeptical to say the least, but after hearing the first part of the music introduction I knew this would be a favorite for years to come.

A charming animation sure to please children and adults........2005-06-11

The kids will appreciate the title; the parents will appreciate the content. This is a wonderful animation using the age-old stop motion technique. All I can say is my child loves it and, well, so do I.

Don't let the title fool you.......2005-03-03

This is a very touching story, that in reality has nothing to with being just a doggy poo, or CRAP as other reviewers call it. It has everything to with the human experience, and what people feel about themselves, and their place in life. It may seem slow paced in places, but the purpose is to give you pause to think about what has just occurred. The simple score is touching and really helps underscore the point of the story. Do not prejudge this film; you can get a lot out of it.
