4. 101 Dalmatians
This is one of the most famous movies in recent history. It’s a classic story of dalmatian puppies escaping from Cruella De Vil and having to go on an adventure before they are found again- but unlike almost every other Disney film out there it has no magic spells, singing princesses nor does it involve any romance with princes. What makes this so great though? You can watch it both as cartoons and movie.

7. Beethoven
Beethoven has a reputation for being one of the most well-known and popular movies about dogs. It follows a Saint Bernard who is full of limitless energy, as he causes some damage to his owners’ house while also making it an adventure worth remembering in this whimsical film. By the end, they learn that even though their family now includes these large canines with questionable table manners–they are wonderful friends.

In the process of finding his owner, he meets and befriends a black cat who has been abandoned by her owners and lives on the streets.

The powerful movie demonstrates how love can overcome all odds, with a boy who refuses to give up on his dog no matter what. It has a powerful message about the power of love.
