When a casino-owning dog named Charlie is murdered by his rival Carface, he finds himself in Heaven basically by default since all dogs go to heaven. However, since he wants to get back at his killer, he cons his way back to the living with the warning that doing that damns him to Hell. Once back, he teams with his old partner, Itchy, to prep his retaliation. He also stumbles onto an orphan girl who can talk to the animals, thus allowing him to get the inside info on the races to ensure his wins to finance his plans. However, all the while, he is still haunted by nightmares of what's waiting for him on the other side unless he can prove that he is worthy of Heaven again.

All Dogs Go to Heaven is a heartwarming story about love, redemption, and second chances. Charlie’s journey from a selfish gambler to someone willing to sacrifice everything for Anne-Marie is both touching and meaningful. The bond between them is the heart of the film, with Anne-Marie’s kindness and innocence bringing out the best in Charlie and reminding us of the power of love to change even the most flawed among us. Judith Barsi’s performance as Anne-Marie is unforgettable. Knowing she recorded her final scenes before her tragic passing adds a bittersweet layer to the movie. Her voice carries so much warmth and innocence, making the character even more special. The final scene, where Charlie redeems himself for her, is especially poignant and feels like a beautiful tribute to Judith’s bright spirit. This is more than just a movie about dogs, it’s a story about the love that makes us better, and it leaves a lasting impression. It’s heartwarming, bittersweet, and full of meaning.
