Storyline

Ozzy, a friendly, peaceful beagle has his idyllic life turned upside down when the Martins leave on a long and distant trip. There's only one problem: no dogs allowed! Unable to bring their beloved Ozzy along for the ride, they settle on the next best thing, a top-of-the-line canine spa called Blue Creek. This picture perfect place turns out to be a facade constructed by its villainous owner to capture dogs. Ozzy will soon end up in the real Blue Creek, a prison for dogs, run by dogs. Ozzy will have to avoid danger and find strength in his new friends, Chester, Fronky and Doc to escape the prison and return home safely. The narrative of 'OZZY' aims to follow in the footsteps of movies which employs Pixar-like quality and fun. 'OZZY' is an animated comedy-adventure movie targeted for kids of all ages and represents family entertainment at its best. The story itself is based, almost entirely, around dogs. 'OZZY' falls into the "prison movie" genre with funny tributes to the great prison...

Trivia

The original version of the film was recorded in English, even though the creativity was Spanish. In a curious turnabout, Hollywood actress Elsa Pataky returned to her native tongue to dub Maddie, Ozzy's love interest, in the Spanish version of the film.

The only time I smiled was when I got up to leave

Animations have evolved into highly entertaining movies for both kids and adults. This movie was the opposite of that. I'm still trying to figure out how this made it to the big screen. The lack of dialogue made it painful to watch all the while ripping off ideas from great movies such as Shawshank Redemption and The Castle.
