All Dogs Go To Heaven

All Dogs Go To Heaven is a 1989 animated film starting Burt Reynolds as Charlie. It also features the voices of Dom DeLuise, Judith Barsi, Vic Tayback, and Loni Anderson. In the film Charlie B. Barkin is a gambler and a swindler. After being murdered by his former partner, Carface, he comes back to life by winding his "life watch" and plans to get revenge on Carface. He "rescues" a girl named Anne-Marie (voiced by the late Judith Barsi) from Carface and exploits her ability to talk to animals in order to win at gambling. As the film progresses, Charlie begins to be influenced by Anne-Marie's kindness and love. In the end, he must choose between saving Anne-Marie's life and protecting his "life watch" (he will die if it ever stops) and he chooses the former. The film depicts Christianity in a positive light. In addition to the obvious references to Heaven and Hell, Anne-Marie is also shown praying before she goes to bed, thanking God for Charlie's "rescue" (which, even though he had his own selfish purposes, did get her away from Carface's abuse). The film is also pro-family. Anne-Marie is introduced as an orphan who wants to find new parents. During the movie, she meets a compassionate couple named Kate and Harold, who eventually adopt her. A sequel was released in 1996, as well as a TV series and a made-for-TV Christmas movie.
