Back in the day, if something went direct-to-video you knew it was crap. With today's digital releases it's harder to tell what's crap and what's just indie. This was a Disney sequel and direct-to-video. It might as well just have had the poop emoji as a cover image. If they had had that in 2001.Scamp (Scott Wolf) wants to give up his boring life as a house dog, filled with baths and rules, and join a junkyard gang so he runs away from home. At first, it's all fun and games until the junkyard leader, Buster (Chazz Palminteri), finds out that Scamp is the son of Tramp (Jeff Bennett), who used to be his best friend until he got respectable. Buster decides to get his revenge on the father through the son by having Scamp get caught by the Dogcatcher (Jeff Bennett, doing a damn fine Don Knotts impersonation).
As a movie, it's not great. It's insipid and uninspired. It does have Roger Bart, Susan Egan, Jodi Benson, and Jess Harnell for singing voices, who are like Disney royalty, and Mickey Rooney, Cathy Moriarty, Bronson Pinchot, and Alyssa Milano for additional voices. Too bad none of that can save it from the "Donate" pile.
