The Shaggy Dog is a 1994 American made-for-television fantasy-comedy film and a remake of the 1959 film of the same name produced by Walt Disney Television that premiered on November 12, 1994 as an ABC Family Movie.
[1] It is the first in a series of four remakes of Disney live-action films produced for broadcast on ABC during the 1994–95 television season, the other three being The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Escape to Witch Mountain, and Freaky Friday.
[2] Preteen Martin "Moochie" Daniels just wants a dog, but his dad, Ron, is allergic to canines, like Bundles, the Old English Sheepdog of New neighbor Charlie Mulvihill & his niece Francesca, who secretly trained his pet to help him steal jewels.
Mooch's big brother Wilbur "Wilby" is smart, shy and a promising inventor, but hopelessly clumsy when it comes to girls, and is jealous of his slick mate Trey who has no problems.
Desperate Wilby cast a spell on himself (he accidentally got from dad's museum of curiosities), which magically transform him into Bundles the Shaggy Dog.
