The Shaggy D.A. came at the end of an era of Disney films that were family friendly, funny and somewhat zany. The opening credits are very memorable as they are animated, along with a title song being sung by Dean Jones. This is the third and last pairing of Jones and Suzanne Pleshette.

Also starring are comedy legends Tim Conway (who has some of the best one liners) and Keenan Wynn, whose personalities make the film extra fun. This sequel to 1959s The Shaggy Dog continues the story of Wilby Daniels, now, Wilby an attorney running for office. What could possibly go wrong? The Shaggy D.A. is full of antics the whole family will enjoy.

A very funny comedy, and one of the last of the 1970s filled with Disney style quirks.

Goofs
Two petty crooks are walking down an alley by a hotel where a pie fight is taking place. The crooks look in the window and the one wearing a hat is hit in the mouth by a pie and he wipes it off his face. The second one then gets hit in the face by a glancing blow with another pie, but when they step back both of their faces are covered and so is the jacket of the one in the hat.
