'''''All Dogs Go to Heaven''''' is a 1989 animated [[Musical film|musical]] [[Fantasy film|fantasy]] [[comedy-drama]] film directed by [[Don Bluth]] and co-directed by [[Gary Goldman]] (his [[List of directorial debuts|directorial debut]]) and [[Dan Kuenster]].<ref name=RottenTomatoes1>{{cite web|title=All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989)|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/all_dogs_go_to_heaven/|publisher=RottenTomatoes|access-date=October 21, 2015|archive-date=October 15, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151015011513/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/all_dogs_go_to_heaven/|url-status=live}}</ref> Set in [[New Orleans]] in 1939, it tells the story of Charlie B. Barkin (voiced by [[Burt Reynolds]]), a [[German Shepherd]] who is murdered by his former friend, Carface Carruthers (voiced by [[Vic Tayback]]). Charlie escapes from Heaven to return to Earth where his best friend, Itchy Itchiford (voiced by [[Dom DeLuise]]), still lives, in order to take revenge on Carface. Instead, he ends up befriending a young orphan girl named Anne-Marie (voiced by [[Judith Barsi]] in her final film role). In the process, Charlie learns an important lesson about kindness, friendship and love.

The film is an Irish, British and American venture, produced by [[Goldcrest Films]] and [[Sullivan Bluth Studios|Sullivan Bluth Studios Ireland Limited]]. On its cinema release, it competed directly with [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Walt Disney Feature Animation]]'s ''[[The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid]]'', released on the same day. While it did not repeat the box-office success of Sullivan Bluth's previous features, ''[[An American Tail]]'' and ''[[The Land Before Time (film)|The Land Before Time]]'', it was successful on home video, becoming one of the biggest-selling [[VHS]] releases ever. It was followed by a [[All Dogs Go to Heaven 2|theatrical sequel]], a [[All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series|television series]], and a [[An All Dogs Christmas Carol|holiday direct-to-video film]].
