Jock the Hero Dog (2011) Review by ddenholm from United Kingdom
Assuming that this film was aimed at children and seeing the vitriolicbile that others have used to review this film I felt that I shouldgive a brief defence of this film.

Animation was at times basic in parts yes but beautiful in others thehuman characters were better than the animals for the most part, therethe criticism ends while not my cup of tea meaning its south Africancontent of which I am not that knowledgeable I took the film for whatit was a children's adventure as for the morals that it teaches thatthose other critics deem so important I thought there were only twogood beats evil and the little guy can sometimes beat the big one.

As for a critique of the film I asked my children 4,6,9 and 12 yearsold who were all glued to the film throughout. Consensus, they allenjoyed the film with no criticism at all. My two year old son was alittle scared of George the Baboon, not Gorilla as he was wronglycalled by the first critic.

It was in keeping with a children's film when there were some fightingscenes with some violence I thought it was tastefully done with bloodand gore completely avoided so as not to distress a young audience. Allin all you have to be young at heart to critique a children's film orflaws become chasms. My wife and children spoke I listened and observedmixed their opinions with mine and rate the movie at 6 out of 10.

My opinion don't expect the earth but don't be afraid to get the sweetsand popcorn out and watch it with the children on DVD.

Jock the Hero Dog (2011) Review by The Happy Critic (the.happy.critic@gmail.com) from South Africa
After reading an extensive amount of reviews which largely reflects"Jock of the bushveld" in a negative light, I decided to finally makesome time to watch it for myself to formulate my own opinion. To mysurprise I had to dig deep within to try to endure watching more than10 minutes of this "movie" at a time. I write this review with theintention of briefly discussing the failures of this movie, hence ifall you seek is an answer to the question "Should I even botherwatching this movie" then there is no need to read further, the simpleanswer is "NO".

With that being said, I cannot for the life of me begin to understandhow such a movie was released "on the big screen". Everybody that paidto watch this movie should rightfully be given their money back. Thismovie was an absolute disgrace to our South African Animation Industry.In all honesty, I have seen far better animation in low budget daytimekiddies shows. It seems as if the creators of this movie were so hellbent on making money from people actually paying to watch it that theydidn't even care about the quality of this film.

I find it extremely hard to believe that it took them 5 years to comeup with THIS. The character designs were extremely and painfully weakand I found it impossible to create a connection with any of thecharacters, the emotions that the characters displayed lacked any sortof actual human qualities. I can only laugh at the poor charactermodels in this movie. The facial expressions could be described asmediocre at best as they were highly unconvincing, poorly timed andextremely amateur.

To my absolute astonishment, there were scenes in the movie where thecharacters clashed with the props. For example there was a scene whereFitz's hand went right through the bar stool. This is probably the mostunacceptable error which an animator can make. Why didn't anybody onthe team spot these errors and take a few minutes to fix it. There wasalso a scene where the chicken's feet were floating. Once again, a fewminutes are all it would have taken to fix these small but detrimentalerrors.

The animation was disappointing in every sense of the word. However theaward for worst animated character ever goes to the movie's main humancharacter, Fitz. His motions and reactions were so unnatural throughoutthe entire movie. Let's take one scene out of the movie. Let's use thescene where they are crossing the river and Fitz shoots the crocodile.It is almost as if his body parts are fighting with each other. Hisreaction and movement is completely unnatural, unrealistic and sopoorly timed. I have never in my entire life seen a human move or reactlike this guy. There is absolutely no fluidity in the animation. Iwould love to know how much reference was actually used in this film.The way in which he handles his pistol and his recovery after he shootsthe crocodile is completely unbelievable and appears to have beenanimated by a person or multiple people that have minimal(if any)knowledge on animation. There were a few scenes were the camera angleswere chosen correctly to give the audience that dramatic effect.However majority of the film the camera seems to be telling acompletely different story as it should have. Everything needs to blendtogether in a scene to give the audience the desired effect and to getthat part of the story across. Unfortunately a good camera angle mixedwith bad animation (for example) completely ruins everything.

5 years? Really? The supposedly "dramatic" fight scene between Jock,his mother and the leopard could have been so much better and so muchmore effective. Here's what you (the creators) should have done. You'll(the creators) should have taken 10 minutes out of your "busy" day andwatched the scene from The Lion King where Simba fights Scar andreclaims what is rightfully his. And I can guarantee you that watchingthose 10 minutes would have highly increased the value of this scene.While I am on the topic of reference, you'll should have also takensome time to watch the part where Mufasa dies and Simba is all alonewith nobody to hear his desperate cries for help. Had you'll examinedthis scene and question as to why this scene evoked so much empathy inthe audience and used that knowledge to better the Jocks Mother Diesscene, perhaps it wouldn't have been so easy for the audience to brushoff such a vital moment in Jock's life. These are just 2 examples froma single movie that could have highly increased the overall quality ofJock. Can you'll (the creators) imagine the possibility had you'lltaken a little more time in those 5 years to focus on the audience andhow reaction to the film. We have all come to know who Bryan Adams is,especially due to his brilliant music in animated films. However justbecause his music or voice is featured in a movie isn't enough to makethe movie good. Sadly not even the voice of Bryan Adams could save thistrain from derailing. There is something that could have been changedin every scene of this movie, be it minor or major, that would havemade this movie a part of South African history and not a part thatwe'd rather forget. This movie could be compared to Apartheid, ithappened, it was extremely horrible, now let's all try to put it behindus and move on with our lives.

Jock the Hero Dog (2011) Review by ctyankee1 from United States
Funny, especially a monkey named Basil and a rooster like friend ofJock's. This storyline is more for adults. The narrator of the storysounds really old with a not so good voice.

A lot of cruelty in the story, death of dogs mother, fighting betweenanimals and George a very mean gorilla who takes orders fromhis-"master" who owns a store. Most characters are mean and aggressive,too much like real life.

The animation is great and goes really well with the singing anddancing of the characters. The music and singing is great too,especially an act by Basil the monkey who used to work in a club withGeorge the gorilla who played the piano.

I found some scenes hard to understand at times with conversationsgoing on in the background and other characters talking. The story hasa good ending. Story tells of doing the right thing under difficultcircumstances. It uses animals and people in different times of theirlives. The writers do this with Jock and his owner who is honest, hardworking and upstanding in character.
