If you have the cojones to watch this new trailer, please quickly seek rehabilitation afterward at FAIL Dogs. A friend close to this production continues to boast maniacally that $100 million box office is a lock. Rapping dogs kill, kids.
I.have.no.words. Did I really just see that? I can’t see anyone actually going to see this…except maybe Paris…with Tinkerbell.
So do you all click on the ads that promise to enlarge your penis size too? I’d throw in a comment about contracting a virus but that would just be overkill at this point.
Seriously, Disney recently indicated that they were going to decrease their yearly production slate, for garbage like this? Way to knock it out of the park Iger! Almost makes me long for the days of Eisner.
I really thought you were joking until I clicked through from my reader. I almost cried watching that.
I’m gonna go ahead and give Disney credit. This thing is a sure fire smash. Before I Hunter’s comment about the friend I thought to myself “100 mill at least.”
Regardless that this will mark one of humanity’s low points… somebody over at disney is doing their job.
That’s where I usually go when people say, “But this film isn’t for you guys, it’s for kids!” Yet the material that they keep trying to bullshit others into believing, is still insulting to kids. People can try and justify this and say its for a certain genre. But you can still make entertaining material for both kids and adults. It’s not some “alien” concept. It’s been done before many times.
This is just a typical Hollywood grab at putting some good ole’ “edge” on a film thats been made already. The difference is THIS ONE HAS LATINOS IN IT! Because they’re chihuahua’s you see.

Salma Hayek, Ginnifer Goodwin, Sherry Lansing, Diane English and the cast of English’s upcoming film “The Women” will be honored at the 2008 Crystal+Lucy Awards, set for June 17 at the Beverly Hilton.
The annual dinner marks the 35th anniversary of Women in Film and supports WIF, Los Angeles (headed by president Jane Fleming) and its educational and philanthropic programs.
Set to receive the Crystal Award for excellence in film is English and the cast of “Women,” her remake of the 1939 classic. The creator, writer and exec producer of CBS’ “Murphy Brown,” English has spent 13 years nurturing a new version of the Clare Boothe Luce play, lining up an all-female cast that includes Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Cloris Leachman, Bette Midler and Candice Bergen. Picturehouse will release “The Women” on Oct. 10.
The 2008 Lucy Award for excellence in television, named in honor of Lucille Ball, will be presented to Hayek, the actress/director/producer who serves as exec producer of ABC’s “Ugly Betty.”
Hayek earned a Daytime Emmy for her directorial debut, “The Maldonado Miracle,” starring Peter Fonda, Mare Winningham and Ruben Blades, which aired on Showtime.
An Oscar nominee as best actress for “Frida,” she’ll be seen in the upcoming films “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” and “Cirque du Freak.”
With her new company Ventanazul, Hayek and producing partner Jose Tamez have been tapped by MGM to develop, produce and acquire mainstream films that draw on Latin themes or feature Latin talent before and behind the camera.
Goodwin, who plays the youngest of Bill Paxton’s three wives on HBO’s “Big Love,” is set to receive the MaxMara “Face of the Future” Award. She has also appeared as Johnny Cash’s first wife in “Walk the Line” and will be seen in October in the ensemble comedy, “He’s Just Not That Into You,” based on the best-seller by Greg Behrendt.
