dbpprop:abstract
  • The Shaggy Dog is a black and white 1959 Walt Disney movie about Wilby Daniels, a teenage boy who is transformed into a sheep dog by a spelled ring of the Borgias, and was the first ever Walt Disney live-action comedy. It starred Fred MacMurray, Tommy Kirk, Jean Hagen, Kevin Corcoran, Tim Considine, Roberta Shore, and Annette Funicello. The movie was originally intended as the pilot for a never-made TV series and advertised as "the funniest shaggy dog story ever told", although it is not in fact a story of that genre. The director was Charles Barton, who also directed Spin and Marty for The Mickey Mouse Club. Veteran screenwriter Lillie Hayward also worked on the Spin and Marty serials, which featured several of the same young actors as The Shaggy Dog. Veteran Disney voice actor Paul Frees had a rare on-screen appearance in the film – for which he received no on-screen credit – as Dr. J.W. Galvin, a psychiatrist who examines Wilby's father (MacMurray). Frees also did his usual voice acting by also playing the part of the narrator who informs the audience that Wilson Daniels is a "man noted for the fact he hates dogs". The film was based on the story, The Hound of Florence by Felix Salten, who also created an earlier Disney film icon, Bambi. The Shaggy Dog was one of the top movies of 1959, and actually grossed higher than Ben-Hur. Walt Disney Productions filmed a successful sequel in 1976 called The Shaggy D.A. which starred Dean Jones, Tim Conway, and Suzanne Pleshette. In 1988, a made-for-TV movie called The Return of the Shaggy Dog continued the adventures of the now-adult Wilby Daniels; although also a sequel to the original film, it did not share any continuity with the Dean Jones version. The Shaggy Dog was also remade as a 1994 TV movie. In 2006, Disney released a "remake" of the movie with an entirely different story and characters, unrelated to the original trilogy. To tie-in with the theatrical release of the 2006 film, the original 1959 movie was re-issued in the USA as a special DVD labelled THE WILD & WOOLLY EDITION, which featured the movie in two forms; one in the original black and white, the other a colorized version. However, in the UK, the 1959 movie has only ever been made available on Disney DVD in black and white. Tagline: The Funniest Shaggy Dog story ever told! Hello Dad... the funniest thing happened!
