Movie Review: Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero 5-27-19
During Autumn 1917, a stray pit-bull wanders into a WW1 training sight. At first, only the Sergeant seems to be fond of him, but he slowly becomes an official war dog. Young soldier Robert Conroy befriends the pit-bull, names him Stubby, and the both of them participate in a war in West Germany.
Sgt. Stubby is a rare Indie gem with clean animation, likable characters, and an engaging story that sticks faithfully to the real-life legend.
One thing that makes Sgt. Stubby unique is that it stars an animal, but he doesn't talk. In the last couple decades, whenever there's an animated movie starring an animal, chances are they're going to make him or her talk. It feels like a breath of fresh air to have an animal protagonist who doesn't talk.
In conclusion, Sgt. Stubby is a perfect movie to watch on Memorial Day and sits comfortably on the shelf with other big animated movies from last year. I, myself, personally wish that I saw it in theaters.
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
