Even with the clichés all there, the basket idol that uses the innocence of the hero for his own benefit, the famous rain scene that shows that all dreams are over, the stupid henchmen who try during their clutches to capture the hero to cheer the boss, Hilarious with his OCDs in relation to colors and even the friends who sympathize with the hero from the beginning and already "includes" in the group as if it were always one of them.
The soundtrack is a good one, all songs, sings or environments, are easy to identify, especially the song "Glorious" made by Adam Friedman especially for the film (would make me be happy if it at least competes for the best Oscar Original song). Outside musical amusements aside like guitar solos, musical battles and everything a movie about a musician seeking his dream needs.
For adults (myself included), the film can impress for different reasons of the children, these the target audience of the film, which shows relationships between father and son, master and apprentice and even how to found yourself without having to change his lifestyle.
Just as the protagonist refers to his homeland from which he left to follow his dream of being a rock star, I can’t get out of the head of how glorious this movie is in its own way.… Expand

Rock Dog is one of the most beautiful films of all time, I know it's a Movie what China gives up, but Reel FX made this movie as possible. The director who made Surf's Up and Toy Story 2.

8/10, because It looks Great without unfunny comedy, I know the Animation is lack luster and the pasting is really well done. The Characters are cute and Likable

The Voice acting is nice

The Plot is fitting how it was refreshing… Expand

Something was evidently lost in translation where the blandly rendered Rock Dog is concerned.

An adaptation of the graphic novel, Tibetan Rock Dog by Zheng Jun, this draggy, computer-animated feature exhibits neither bark nor bite in its portrayal of a sheep-guarding, guitar-playing Himalayan mastiff who has his head perpetually in the clouds.
Coming after the film’s Chinese release last summer, which disappointed its 14 executive producers by bringing in less than 10 percent of its $60 million budget, the Americanized version, with a voice cast including Luke Wilson, Eddie Izzard, J.K. Simmons and Sam Elliott, will be hard-pressed to do much better, with a marketing campaign catering to younger pups.
While groomed by his gruff alpha dog dad, Khampa (Simmons) to keep the wolves away from the woollier inhabitants of Snow Mountain, young Bodi (Wilson) has always been distracted by the sound of music.… Expand
