[done] The Plague Dogs (1982)
Published 05/05/2008 @ 01:33:07, By Kooshmeister
My first animated movie, woo. This extremely depressing movie about two dogs, Rowf and Snitter, who escape from a research lab features a number of cars (unlike Watership Down, made by the same people). A couple may be difficult to nail dow due to only being partially visibly externally.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2301/plaguedogstruck1oy8.th.jpg The fateful truck that claims the life of Snitter's owner in a flashback (arguably the movie's saddest moment apart from the ending). Appears to be either a Bedfored or a Mercedes L-Series. 2 stars.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/3528/plaguedogslandrover3ll0.th.jpg Police hardtop Land Rover. 2 stars.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/9298/plaguedogscar1zs3.th.jpg This car almost runs Snitter down in the street, and the men inside get out to help him, but Rowf who distrusts humans drives them off and "saves" Snitter. 2 stars.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7421/plaguedogscar4nw2.th.jpg Car belonging to a rich guy named Westcott. The dogs get into it and ruin the seats. The novel calls it a Volvo P1800, but I'm unsure. 2 stars.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/9339/plaguedogslandrover1ov1.th.jpg http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/4812/plaguedogslandrover2az5.th.jpg Clothtop Land Rover used by some farmers in two scenes (including one where one of them is accidentally killed by Snitter when his gun goes off). Despite being two scenes it's never visible enough to warrant more than 2 stars.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6554/plaguedogscar2km7.th.jpg Some kind of hatchback, used by the same guys mentioned above. It appears in one scene with the Land Rover. 2 stars.

These next two may not be visible enough....

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/719/plaguedogsambulanceok1.th.jpg This ambulance who is seen parked behind the Land Rover after the incident with the gun. 1 star.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7308/plaguedogscar3xf8.th.jpg This is the most annoying vehicle in the movie. It's used a lot, and driven by a named character (reporter Lynn Driver) and we even have a lengthy driving scene where she gives one of the scientists a ride, but this is one of only three external shots of it, hidden behind some gas pumps. The other external shots are even worse (driving behind a stone wall and seen only fleetingly through the gaps in it, and just the roof as it approaches the lab). Otherwise it's all shots inside the car. Rrrrrrr! Unless someone can figure out what it is (and I'll try to get more pictures), don't bother listing it.

They weren't very big in width/height (only in weight/filesize), but not they are even smaller... You should have just resaved them rather than also resize them.

In the case of Westcott's car, since the novel calls it a Volvo, might as well list it as such. The rest of the unidentifiables can go, though.
