This isn't a bad movie at all. It's actually surprisingly way better than anyone might expect, or that this movie really has any right to be.
It's about a big dog and it's Christmas. What else do you really need to know?
This is a fantastic family film. It really is. Perfect and appropriate for one and all.
With a solid stack of star power that is truly unexpected. Lots of familiar faces in this one.
One also does not need be a total Beethoven fanatic to catch on to this one either.
Newbies will get this one too.
Like I said, big dog, Christmas equals fun.
Tom Arnold voices Beethoven. It'll drive you crazy who it is, until you finally look it up. It's him. He does a good job as the title character.

Before you read this entry, mind you I have watched over 100 movies and by far and wide, this is the greatest movie I have ever seen during the Halloween holidays. First of all, Beethoven is an adorable puppy who brings inner joy to your hearts when on screen. I feel Hollywood loves to trash movies like this because there is no action, but I digress...this movie has a ton of action, drama, and most of all, the spirit of the Hallows. I recommend anyone who is feeling down to cheer themselves up and watch this movie. I watched it over and over and over and forgot to eat! This movie has more heart than Titanic, more action than Sophie's Choice, and more drama than Stripes. Run out and rent/buy this classic...you won't be unhappy.
Henry the elf (Kyle Massey) accidentally rides off with Santa's sleigh. It's 3 days before Christmas in Woodhaven, Minnesota. Christine (Kim Rhodes) is taking care of the celebrated Beethoven. She puts her son Mason (Munro Chambers) in charge who immediately takes advantage. John Cleese is The Narrator. Sylvester Smirch (Robert Picardo) is the greedy toy store owner and Kenny (Curtis Armstrong) is his assistant. Smirch finds Santa's magical sack in the middle of the road.
I saw the first two movies and I don't remember the dog talking. Kyle Massey was a thing for a while. I wouldn't know. I have never seen a single episode of "That's so Raven" or "Cory in the House". I don't find him that funny and there is no residual affection for the kid from his other works. I don't particularly care about the lead kid either. It would be funnier with a younger lead. I just think that Beethoven needs a cute little kid. This is a poor effort, but it's a straight-to-video sequel. No one is expecting anything more.

I actually really liked this one, from the reviews I thought it wasn't gonna too good, anyways, the comedy was actually pretty good, action was fine, and Mason, Catty Elf and Mason's mom were pretty good actors, anyways, the movie was pretty good, although Beethovens voice + personality was pretty weird, overall it's a good movie, and you should watch it if you are interested in christmas movies.
Look, family adventure, has wit and warm characters with barely any involvement in the legend that is Beethoven. Of course they tried to push the story and drag it out but nothing new everything been seen before and a bit cheesy and tacky. Even the dialogue is copied and well for a modern day family film this was disappointing.
