After my recent fanart of Fluppy Dogs and I got the idea for a abridged review, I figured why not. Since the special is an hour long I'm going to divide it into either 2 or 3 parts depending on how many screencaps I get.

So, here's Fluppy Dogs, Part 1. (By the way, if anyone wanted to use this screencaps for anything like icons or something, feel free.) Be warned, there are lots of images ahead.

The special starts off with the Fluppies climbing a mountain and trying not to fall off. They're currently trying to find hidden magic doors that will hopefully lead them back home. Think star gate, but with cute Disney dogs.

Thankfully, Ozzie has the ability to literally sniff out these hidden doors. I wouldn't think magical doors had scents.

Thus comes the part, most kids who watch this probably remember the most. The leader Stanley, uses his magical key and opens the door.

Unfortunately, it's not their home. But hey, it beats the near death mountain-

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!

Thankfully, Ozzie manages to quickly find another door and uses the key.

I should mention that I do like how each of these doors has a different design to them. And what great world does this ominous door lead to?

A grocery store of course!

The customers aren't that thrilled to see multicoloured dogs walking around the store.

The clerks do try to catch them.

But the Fluppies get away, but only to get in the middle of a street and cause a huge traffic jam.

And for some reason this truck is carrying a bunch of tries that aren't tie down. Needless to say, these get scattered all over the road. Sorry pal, but you were begging for that to happen.

And it's here we meet our villain of the special J.J. Wagstaff.

Who upon seeing a talking dog run across his car hood, makes probably one of the more cliche villain motivations.

"I MUST CAPTURE IT!" Too bad, we don't have Team Rocket here. They would totally be all over this.

The fluppies do make a run for it.

But Wagstaff isn't giving up that easily. And thus, when a man walks out with a brand new camera.

Wagstaff literally steals it off the guy so he can take pictures as proof.

He doesn't get that far however, as a policeman nabs him for stealing the man's camera.

Until, the police officer realizes that he's J.J. Wagstaff, who is a high ranking billionaire in town and promptly apologizes. If you think it's bad enough he can get away with stealing a camera, who this is just the icing off the cake.

The fluppies do get away from Wagstaff.

But only to get snagged by the local animal shelter

And are taken to the pound. I do have to wonder why the workers there didn't wonder why the dog were wearing all the gear.

Thus, the fluppies plan their escape. But before, Dink the red fluppy can argue why they should saw through the bars.

A woman comes in looking for a dog to give to her son.

The fluppies than realize that if she takes one of them, then that fluppy can come back to free the others.

Come on, you can't resist the cuteness....

Success!!

It's here we cut to Wagstaff's home.

And we see his collection of exotic animals that would cause any animal activist group to go rapid if they saw it.

It's here the Wagstaff realizes that those talking creatures weren't dog, but mystical beings called "Fluppies" that reside in another.

Thus, this encourages him even further to capture them for his collection. It is also this point in which you hear him saw just the word "Fluppies" a lot. It's actually rather funny considering how he says this too and he says it quite a few times. And I feel obligated of trying to make a meme out of this.

FLUPPIES!!

And now we meet Jamie, the son of the mother that had taken Stanley.

And is not that thrilled since he was hoping for a large dog.

Jamie's mom suggest he take Stanley for a walk to help them bond.

Of course, Stanley would rather spring free. "I shall break these shackles human!"

FREEDOM!

Jamie chases after Stanley into a construction site. Yeah, I can hear all of you taking bets that nothing good will happen here.

He climbs a ladder, which I guess he does to get a better view.

And the ladder breaks! He wasn't even there for five minutes! Has to be a new record.

Lucky for Jamie, Stanley is still near by and can perform a rescue.

And Jamie clues in that his dog is not quite that normal. Really, the fact that he was blue wasn't enough of a clue?

Stanley explains to Jamie how the fluppies have been traveling to other worlds and trying to find their way home. Jamie then offers Stanley some dogfood.

Stanley isn't too thrilled.

But he will take pizza.

Jamie then realize he has birthday money that they can use to get the other fluppies out. Perfect plan!

Except that just getting one dog is a lot of money.

And Jamie's mom says they can only have one dog, but suggest giving Tippy to Claire next door.

And thus, we meet Claire the other main human in this special.

And is taken by Tippy right away and agrees to take her in. Meanwhile..

FLUPPIES!!

Wagstaff is furious to find out that the pound that has his precious fluppies dares to be closed. And thus he goes and calls the mayor, apparently out of bed, to come and get it opened for him.

Back at Jamie's place, Stanley is insisting that he and the other fluppies "aren't dogs and we shouldn't be treated as such."

Even though he sleeps exactly like a dog would on a bed. Don't quite get the logic there Stanley.

And it's here Jamie asks why don't they just tell the pound that they're fluppies, but Stanley says that people would freak out and makes Jamie promise not to tell anyone about them. Yeah, this isn't going to cause problems for Jamie.

And Claire's place, she and Tippy are bonding.

Through makeovers! Considering this is the 80s, Tippy should be worried.

And then something odd happens.

Apparently, if you scratch the head of a fluppy.

It will cause the object your on to fly.

Who knew fluppies had magical dandruff.

Jamie and Stanley, who didn't even know about this himself, freak out at first.

But quickly adapt to it.

Stanley then gets the brilliant idea that they can use the flying bed to break into the pound. Jamie doesn't think this is a great idea. But Stanley's reply.
