The Dogfather is an American series of 17 theatrical cartoon shorts produced by DePatie–Freleng Enterprises and distributed by United Artists between 1974 and 1976.[1] It is the final theatrical cartoon series made by DePatie–Freleng.

Plot

The Dogfather was a parody of The Godfather, but with canines as part of the Italian organized crime syndicate. It consists of the Dogfather (voiced by Bob Holt impersonating Marlon Brando) and his henchmen Pug (also Bob Holt) and Louie (voiced by Daws Butler).[2]

The opening credits featured the Dogfather, speaking (and later singing) to the lyrics of a song entitled "I'm Gonna Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse".

The Dogfather was later broadcast as part of the NBC Saturday morning cartoon series The Pink Panther and Friends.[2]

Revival

In 1993, The Dogfather was revived (and re-designed) as a recurring antagonist for The Pink Panther. The Dogfather was voiced by Joe Piscopo (except for "It's Just a Gypsy in My Soup" where he was voiced by Jim Cummings), while Pug and Louie are voiced by Brian George and Jess Harnell.

Remakes

Much like a number of DFE-produced cartoon shorts, about half of the Dogfather cartoons were remakes of Looney Tunes cartoons from the 1950s that were directed by Freleng, which are listed below:

  • The pilot episode (The Dogfather) was a remake of Tree For Two (1952).
  • The Goose that Laid a Golden Egg was a remake of Golden Yeggs (1950).
  • Heist and Seek was a remake of Bugsy and Mugsy (1957).
  • Mother Dogfather was a remake of Stork Naked (1955).
  • Saltwater Tuffy was a remake of Tugboat Granny (1956)
  • Devilled Yeggs was a remake of Satan's Waitin' (1954).
  • Watch the Birdie was a remake of Dr. Jerkyll's Hide (1954).
  • M-O-N-E-Y Spells Love was a remake of Hare Trimmed (1953).
  • Rock-a-Bye Maybe was a remake of Kit for Cat (1948).
  • Eagle Beagles was a remake of Hare Lift (1952).

However, this was criticized by Charles Brubaker, the author of the website Cartoon Research, who pointed out that this made the series almost completely unoriginal and resulted in inferior versions of those Looney Tunes shorts.[3]
