Netflix: A charming and seductive dog in a movie for the whole family

To a child of the 90s, Beethoven may have been a German genius of classical music, but he was first and foremost a good fat St. Bernard who was adopted by a friendly little American family. Co-written by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club) and Amy Holden Jones (Indecent Proposal), this film is directed by Brian LevantTo which we also owe The Toy Race and The Flintstones Family.

From the age of 8

like An incredible journey or Grandma, the pig became a shepherdThis is a warm and lovely feature film Brian Levant It offered animals a central role and gathered absolutely all the necessary ingredients to share a tender moment of cinema with the family. A special mention goes to the music theme of the film signed Randy Edelman (and not by Ludwig van Beethoven), wonderfully nostalgic, as is the crass vet, played brilliantly Dingjons (fetish actress of Disney studios in the 60s and 70s).

What will they like?

• The stupidity of Beethoven, who will miss nothing and cause disaster after disaster in front of his completely exhausted father Newton.
• When he’s a puppy and cautiously enters the Newton family: This whole sequence is adorable.
• The children, united, look at each other and at Beethoven as if he were their own.

What might be bothering them:

• The vet is really threatening Beethoven. Fortunately, they laugh.
• Mention that laboratories conduct experiments on animals, and in particular dogs, which may affect more than one infant.
