C.H.O.M.P.S.
If you expect a robotic dog to protect your home while you are away be sure to turn off its sleep mode.
Luckily, the computerized K-9 in this family movie has crime detection capabilities to alert him of intruders.
When a young genius, Brian (Wesley Eure), creates a mechanical mutt named C.H.O.M.P.S - Canine Home Protection System - to safeguard his home from thieves, it attracts the attention of Mr. Gibbs (Jim Backus), owner of unscrupulous home security company, who hires two bumbling crooks (Red Buttons, Chuck McCann) to kidnap C.H.O.M.P.S. Meanwhile, Brian begins bonding with his tyrannical boss' (Conrad Bain) daughter (Valerie Bertinelli).
While it does feature some great character actors, a lovable pup and a few flashes of comedy brilliance, animation giant Hanna-Barbera failed to conceive of a feature-length script that surpassed their Saturday morning cartoon output.
Ironically, most robo-dogs are stolen when Amazon leaves them on your porch. Yellow Light
