Did we really need a third film about this dog?
This, a made-for-television sequel to 'The Shaggy Dog' and prequel to 'The Shaggy D.A.', is a pale imitation of the preceding two productions. Less humour, lesser acting and a more boring storyline.
It, despite the aforementioned, seems to largely ignore the events of the 1976 sequel. There now seems to be some inconsistencies with the latter; e.g. a previously untold secondary occurrence of the curse, the ring's location, Betty's knowledge. It's possible I'm forgetting something that connects them, I don't think so though.
Gary Kroeger is an average Wilby, but Todd Waring makes for a good Moochie. I didn't care for the love tiff featuring Michele Little (Betty) and Cindy Morgan (Laura), though it is mostly well acted by those two in fairness.
Overall, this is a needless addition to the universe of Shaggy.
