Pudsey The Dog: The Movie is now out on DVD from Entertainment One, directed by Nick Moore (Love Actually, About A Boy) and starring David Walliams (Little Britain, Great Expectations) as the voice of Pudsey, Jessica Hynes (Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix); John Sessions (Filth, The Last Station); Olivia Colman (Hot Fuzz, The Iron Lady), and Izzy Meikle-Small (Snow White and The Huntsman), with a special appearance from Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden.
Cheeky London stray Pudsey (Walliams) decides he has just found a new loving family in the shape of Gail (Hynes) and her three children Molly (Meikle-Small), George and Tommy. But the family is grieving from the loss of the father and having to move away from their home. Mum is determined that they can't have a dog but Pudsey is even more determined to accompany them and stows away as they leave.
All is not as it seems when they arrive and struggle to make a new home in the face of the unpleasantness of their dog-hating landlord Mr Thorne (Sessions) who is secretly plotting to demolish the entire village. Pudsey has no choice but to stop him by whatever means.
Harriet at four and a half found some of the scenes a bit scary but she did manage to watch to the heart-warming, if predicatable, end.
