eastofthemoonOkay, here's the third and final installment of my Fluppy Dogs review. As before if anyone wanted to use these screencaps or anything feel free.
Where we last left our heroes, Ozzie and the twins had found the door back to their own world. And now they're off to tell the others. Too bad someone else noticed the bright lights coming from the door.
FLUPPIES! Wagstaff has now upgraded to a motorcycle! It's one baby!
Ozzie and the twins try to escape by splitting up and making a run for it, but Ozzie isn't quite fast enough.
Achievement unlocked: Wagstaff gets fluppy!
The twins follow Wagstaff and Ozzie but are cut off by the gates. They decide to go back and get the others to help.
Inside, Wagstaff is trying to get Ozzie to talk which will prove he is a fluppy. However, Ozzie has taken all those "doggy lessons" to heart from Jamie and Claire and plays dumb.
Back at Jamie's, they've been trying to keep the creature content by feeding him nonstop flowers. I hate to see how this fellow would be at a garden party.
Jamie thinks of offering the creature some vegetable and gets caught by this mom. A 10 year old eating an armful of veggies! Now, she knows something is up.
She sits Jamie down and starts to demanding on what is going on with his weird behaviour lately.
And Stanley is not helping by choosing that exact moment to steal some flowers from the window ledge.
And thus, Jamie's mom becomes more frustrated. At this point, the audience is thinking that perhaps they'll finally tell her what's going on.
Nope! The plot/twins arrive and tell Stanley on how Ozzie was captured by the man they saw at the pound.
Stanley goes to tell Jamie so they can use the flying bed, but over hears the talk with the mom and feels guilty for all the trouble he's been causing him. About bloody time Stanley.
He tells the twins that Jamie is in enough trouble, so he and Tippy will get Claire to help to leave Jamie out of it. The twins will stay at the house to watch the flower eating machine.
They ask Tippy to make the bed fly like Jamie did, but Claire is not thrilled with the idea. (Can't say I blame her.) So, she makes the practical decision and says they'll take her car which will carry all the supplies they'll need. It seems to be the women in the special have the most common sense.
Jamie notices Claire driving out with Tippy and Stanley. For those wondering, no we don't get to see how the talk with Jamie's mom ended. That kind of would have been nice to know writers.
Jamie asks the twins and they fill him in.
Kidnap fluppies?! Not on Jamie's watch. He decides they need to go and help. But how to get there?
MONSTER EXPRESS OF COURSE!
Meanwhile, Wagstaff has had it with Ozzie's silence and starts to threaten him with his pet snake. Ah, dude. He won't be much good for you if the snake accidentally kills him, but hey what do I know? And this is cartoon logic.
Don't worry Ozzie, help has arrived. Too bad that Claire car is too loud.
MORE FLUPPIES!!
Stanley and Tippy enter Wagstaff's house.
And get freaked out by the decor. Honestly, Wagstaff needs more hobbies than just animals.
Yay! We found Ozzie-
IT'S A TRAP! (enter Star Wars meme here)

Cliche villain move #98. Throw them in the cage.
Claire has somehow seen the entire scene through her binoculars. I think Batman would kill for a pair that can see clearly through walls.
Don't worry Claire. Help has arrived.
Too bad that it doesn't have brake.
Yes, Wagstaff. Life is good now that you have fluppies. Nothing could possibly ruin this moment.
Except that perhaps your insurance is about to sky rocket.
The monster express finally stops.
And goes to hide from the snake. Courage isn't your species strongest trait, is it buddy?
Jamie and Claire demand the Wagstaff let the fluppies go. He refuses and even says that if they don't leave know he'll call the police on them. Considering on how much power Wagstaff seems to have over the authority in this town, that is a threat.
Stanley tells Jamie to go, since they've gotten him into enough trouble.
Jamie replies saying he can't leave them because they're the best thing to ever happen to him. Aw, Disney bonding. Isn't it wonderful.
Stanley insists it's okay, he just needs one last scratch.
Jamie and Claire catch on to Stanley's plotting and scratch like their lives depend on it.
Wagstaff, I think you're REALLY going to regret not listening to Jamie there.
FLUPPY POWER ACTIVATE!
Wagstaff's house is lifted into the air and karma kicks in when Wagstaff is hit by one of the cages animals.
And then gets flatten by the creature. Double karma!
So the house flies E.T. style.
And lands right in front of where the door to the fluppies's home is. I wonder how they manage to steer that thing?
No time to think about plot holes, the key is about to die out.
The fluppies go to open the door and it takes the whole group to open it.
We're on our way home! Yay!
And now it's time for tearful goodbyes.
And group hugs.
Aw, no hugs for Ozzie?
Nope, he gets one too! Yay!
But Wagstaff apparently doesn't learn and goes to catch.
The fluppies make it through the door.
And Wagstaff and his butler get tossed in with the creature following.
And as the door shuts forever, Wagstaff begins to wonder if perhaps he should pick another hobby.
The door shuts and vanishes.
Jamie and Claire are sad.
But decide to leave before the police arrive to ask question on what the heck happened.
Time passes, and I'm personally hoping that Jamie finally told his mother on what happened. Jamie and Claire talk about how they would give anything to see the fluppies again.
Pysche! You should know us better by now Jamie. We never just go away!
Fluppies are back! Group hugs for everyone.
But perhaps one should watch where one's sleigh is going.
But before one can ask where the mountain came from in the middle of a city.
Fluppy power activate!
Jamie looks down and notice that a million of fluppies are coming through the door.
Jamie asks why they're all here.
Stanley's answer: "Adventure Jamie, Adventure" Well, it's either that or to enslave our planet with cuteness.
So the pair fly off in the sunset leaving their friends in the snow. What a happy ending!
The End!
All in all, this special actually hasn't aged that badly. Yeah, it's cheesy in part and you can so tell in was made in the 80s. However, you can tell a lot of creativity went into this, I am sad that this wasn't made in to a full series. I was also surprised and delighted to realize that the voice of Ozzie was actually Lorenzo Music. He was the voice actor for Tummi in Gummi Bears, Peter in the Real Ghostbusters and for many years Garfield the cat for he passed away in 2001. I've always liked him, so that was a pleasant surprise.
I wish they would give this a DVD release because it really deserves one. Even if this was only a one time special, that fact that A LOT of people still remember it today really does say something.
