REVIEW: BEETHOVEN'S
BIG BREAK
12/19/08

Bring together one mega-popular
pooch, an all-star cast, some of today’s hottest music and a
barrel of bouncing baby St. Bernards, and it all adds up to
Beethoven’s Big Break! The all-new adventure comes
exclusively to DVD on December 26, 2008 from Universal
Studios Home Entertainment.
“With movies, bestselling books and
even reality television showcasing the public’s fascination
with all things dog-related, we believe that there's no
better time than now to re-invent the Beethoven franchise.”
said Glenn Ross, General Manager and Executive Vice
President of Universal Studios Family Productions.
“Beethoven has delighted families around the world and we
saw this as the perfect opportunity to give this beloved
character a makeover for his introduction to a new
generation.”
SYNOPSIS: Although animal handler Eddie
(Silverman) works with lots of creatures, he has a strict NO
PETS ALLOWED policy and won’t let his son Billy keep
adorable stray dog Beethoven and his family of puppies. But
when dog-nappers steal the canine star of the movie Eddie’s
working on, the studio big shots must quickly find a
replacement and unexpectedly cast the lumbering canine as
their next big star. Through his rambunctious antics and
larger-than-life personality, Beethoven not only crashes
into Hollywood but into Eddie’s heart as well.
