A Boy and His Dog (1936) Online

An obnoxious little toddler boy scares and hits a whimpering puppy in his charge until his mother comes in and puts him to bed and scolds him for his cruelty. Asleep, the boy dreams that the puppy has grown to dinosaur size, bursting through walls, chasing down the brat until retribution looks nigh.

When released for TV in the 1990s the boy was given a name, "Sparky", and an all new soundtrack with stock music and a gooey voice for the kid added.

The plot of this Columbia Color Fantasy is that a small boy mistreats his puppy. His mother paddles him and tells him that some day the dog will be bigger than he. So he dreams of that happening.

It's Mintz' cartoon factory at its cutest, which means that I really hate it. The child is a curly-haired, fat-cheeked blonde little tyke who speaks in a high-pithed lisp. Occasionally they could pull this off; the Mintz version of THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL is lovely and tragic, but ones like this have nothing in them to appeal to children, just the old biddies of the ladies' league. It's all wasted effort so far as I am concerned.
