The Right Kind of Dreary
17 September 2014
Usually I don't like films like this. Plague Dogs feels long, slow, drab, and arguably melodramatic. Its not excellent in character, and it doesn't seem to have a particular message. But The Plague Dogs works for me. And it has to come down to the animation.

The animation looks good for the time, but more importantly, its barren, and uses faded colors - light blues, greens, and grays. The artists make modern England look like its in post-apocalypse. Yeah, there are humans around, but, from these dog's perspective, its a scary, lonely place.

Plague Dogs is near hopeless, and honestly has some of the more screwed up scenes I've seen in animation. There's not much else to say about it. If you're in the right mood, its an emotional experience. Can't say I love it, but it stuck with me longer than most movies.
