Synopsis:

In the Early Sound Era, talent from all over – veteran vaudevillians, musical icons, radio personalities, Broadway luminaries – performed in specialty shorts augmenting main features that packed moviehouses. One particular pack stood out: the amazingly trained tail-waggers of the 9 “All-Barkie” Dogville Comedies. Directed by Zion Myers and Jules White, these unusual attractions showcased creatively costumed “talking” dogs of various breeds and spoofed the noble and naughty behaviors of people. They pulled off grrrreat rrrriffs of the era’s movies, from unquiet Western Front war heroics and Great Woof Way musical extravaganzas to Great Whelp Hunter jungle expeditions and Prison Pups breakout thrills. A nationwide theatre owners poll in 1930 rated the Dogvilles as the best short subjects over more legendary comedy and musical series. See if you agree, as you walk these dogs and unleash a whole lotta laughter.

Comments about Dogville Shorts (1930-31) (2 DVD Set):

Great stories. I love to go back in time before all the PC idiots came out of the woodwork and started their quest to destroy America. These shorts are real cute stories that are enjoyable and harmless to watch. I recommend them to anyone.

Comments about Dogville Shorts (1930-31) (2 DVD Set):

Frankly, I'm surprised that Warner Archive chose the Dogville Comedies as one of its initial short subject collections. Like John Waters' films, these shorts are clever but totally un-P.C.! Depending on what you think is funny, you'll find them appalling or you'll laugh out loud at Myers and White's cringe-inducing treatment of these hapless canines. If you have any interest in these early "barkie" shorts, grab this set before the U.S. Supreme Court rules that the sale of videos depicting animal cruelty is not protected by the First Amendment!
