The Newton family live in their comfortable home, but there seems to something missing. This "hole" is filled by a small puppy, who walks into their home and their lives. Beethoven, as he is named, grows into a giant of a dog... a St Bernard. Doctor Varnick, the local vet has a secret and horrible sideline, which requires lots of dogs for experiments. Beethoven is on the bad doctor's list.

Top Critics Reviews

Rallies at the end to prevent chaperoning adults from feeling their time was completely wasted.

fresh:
Beethoven is no classic, but it's a sunny, energetic children's film with a good notion of what young audiences like.
– Janet Maslin,

fresh:
A waggish tale of canine chicanery, an uproarious if impawsible symphony of drool, doggy fidelity and chewed shoes.

fresh:
It's the kind of clever, innocuous family entertainment that's always in short supply.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Elevated from the doldrums of Digby-esque sentimentality by a surprisingly bouncy script, the film is also redeemed by regular interludes of acerbic dialogue and a brace of fine supporting performances.
