Review of Hot Dog

Hot Dog (II) (1930)
3/10
Just not that funny
8 March 2008
If you're able to get past the animal abuse, this short isn't all that funny. Jules White, best known for working with the Three Stooges is one of the people behind this. These shorts tend to work better when they're spoofing actual movies (again if you can look past the animal abuse).

The ASPCA or PETA would not allow these to be made today. They are a look at a time when animals, especially dogs, could be mistreated.

"Hot Dog" is a good look at how animals were treated in the early 30's (and this probably had people laughing out loud) and shows how we've changed as far as the treatment of animals.
