Beethoven is back -- and this time, he has a whole brood with him now that he's met his canine match, Missy, and fathered a family. The only problem is that Missy's owner, Regina, wants to sell the puppies and tear the clan apart. It's up to Beethoven and the Newton kids to save the day and keep everyone together.
All dogs survive to the end of the movie. Here's some parts that might scare you anyway. An evil character threatens to drown puppies, and one is held over a river and they threaten to drop it. There is a stressful scene where a puppy skateboards into traffic.
A dog is left in a hot car (with the window open), they forget to feed Beethoven in the first scene. The villain grabs a garbage bag to carry puppies in (????) Beer is poured on Beethoven's face where he can't get away in a very scary scene. The villains comment on having fed a dog yesterday, implying that they don't feed her every day. Puppies are let off leashes and left to wander the woods. There's also a couple questionable dog owner things from the main characters, such as letting Beethoven roam and not having him fixed. It can be excused because "this is a dog movie and he needs to be able to have puppies" but it's not good modelling for a child so keep that in mind.
Not specifically. Things to note that might be triggering. A puppy is named "Chubby," and there's an eating contest which features some of the only fat characters in the movie.
No. However, here are some food things that might be triggering in this movie. In one scene, the villains comment on not feeding a dog every day. In another scene, a character who's already eaten several things is entered into a burger eating contest and overeats until he gets sick to win it.
Three bathroom humor jokes. The first, a puppy pees in a briefcase. Then, the second and third one are back to back. A puppy pees on a bridge and it falls onto the villains below. They loudly comment about this. Immediately after there is a scene where the good guys see puppy poop and decide that touching it to see if it's fresh is a good idea. This is not shown visually but the implication is there. After that scene ends you are safe.
No, HOWEVER it is mentioned several times that the villain suggested the puppies she didn't care about get drowned. Near the end of the film, somebody dangles a puppy over a river but it is fine. Two people fall into a river and get swept downstream, but they survive.
At the party scene there are several characters that are so drunk that they think it's a good idea to pour beer on a dog. They try and peer pressure a highschool age girl into drinking with them.
At the beginning of the movie, a dog is kidnapped from her loving owner by someone who just wants her for some sort of divorce-ransom-scheme. In a scene at the end of the movie the villain steals puppies' leashes out of a kid's hands and runs off with them.
A teenage boy takes a teenage girl to his bedroom to try and seduce her, to which she tries to get out, only to find out he locked the door. He just laughs.
She clearly wasn’t amused, but he was like “relax, this is an experience you’re never gonna forget”.
Luckily, nothing happens because the dog causes the house to collapse. But it’s heavily implied he was going to rape her, which can be triggering for some.
More than you'd expect? A character is asked to explain where babies come from, and goes on to talk about "eggs" and "tadpoles" and "rivers" for longer than you'd think they'd do the scene. As well, a character almost gets assaulted, something to know for sure.
Sort of? A girl's first kiss/highschool crush is shown flirting with other girls, throwing them off a dock into a lake... romantically? He's a douche and that's the point.
The main character tells his dog to "bite him in the wiener" to scare off a bully, and the dog lunges to scare off the bully. In addition, a guy is hit with a stick in the, using the same language, wiener.
