Name This Movie Cat!
"Like a seeping mist, I will creep into the dogs' center of power, and make them quake in fear at the very mention of my name!" What is this movie cat's name?
Four Chloes, Six Delgados But Only One Papi!
I totally enjoyed Beverly Hills Chihuahua (did you?) – so here's a tail-waggingly good tale about one of the film's heroes, the lovable and macho Papi. The bat-eared Chihuahua mix named Rusco was rescued for the part from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter by a trainer who's now the pup's proud parent, too.The lil guy was a fast learner (just like another rescue-turned-star pooch I remember) able to quickly acclimate to a role in front of lights, cameras and action. His fave rewards during the learning process .
Behind-the-Scenes: Chloe's Beverly Hills Chihuahua Wardrobe
While several of the pups of Beverly Hills Chihuahua sported fashions I recognized from doggie couture label Little Lily, for most of her clothed scenes, star pup Chloe wore handmade outfits of sleek and chic materials imported from Europe . . .
At the Movies: Hole in the Paper Sky
I've already mentioned another film on a controversial topic making its way around the festival circuit, and here is another: now it's animal testing. But this isn't a documentary showing you disturbing secret footage shot guerrilla style about things that go on behind closed doors. This film is brought to you by Jessica Biel, one of my favorite dog lovers!
At the Movies: Wiener Takes All
If there were any event I might want to see in person besides the World's Ugliest Dog Competition, it'd be a screening of Wiener Takes All! I've been hearing rumblings for weeks now about this new "dogumentary" that takes a behind-the-scenes look at competitive dachshund racing, and I finally found the trailer. While I definitely don't support dog racing of any kind, I've heard the film is packed with juicy bits of controversy – lying, cheating, steroids!

Reader's Choice: Share Your Fave Animal Movies With Us!
After working through a list of my favorite animal movies, I realized there were a lot of great films I couldn't include in the top 10 — from Homeward Bound to 101 Dalmatians, there are many classics I simply love to watch again and again. Because it's nearly impossible to come up with them all on my own, I want you to share your favorite movies in your comments below. All I ask is that there is an animal playing a fairly large part in the movie, and next week I'll create a new list of all our fave flicks!
My 10 Fave Movies... Starring Animals!
Despite our debate on whether showing pets in films is hurtful or harmless, I do have some favorite movies of my own that, natch, have animals as some of the main characters. Dogs, cats, mice, or an entire farm, I don't discriminate! North and I especially like to watch a few of them together on rainy afternoons maybe even munching on popcorn movie style.
