review by
Mike Haberfelner

As a kid, Chance (voiced by Will Cannon) grew up on a beautiful farm and could dream for hours - but then he got snatched by someone who wanted him to become a fighting dog in prize fights. Now Chance never saw the use in fighting let alone killing one's uponent, but he had talent, and it wasn't long before he became a top prize fighter. He had however never ceased to dream, which is what attracted lovely Sugar (Peppur Chambers) to him rather than his best friend Hannibal (Eddie Goines), top fighter of the place. Chance wants to get out to find a better place where all dogs can live in peace, and thus dugs a whole under the fence for him and Sugar to escape, but ultimately it's only him to make a getaway before their human "owner" is alerted. Out in the streets, Chance doesn't fare very well, lacking streetsmarts, and it's only a matter of time before he's captured by another prize fight promoter, and trained by world wary Thor (Joe Grubbs) to become a killer. Chance breaks out again, but when he comes to rescue Sugar, he learns she's pregnant from Hannibal, as the two thought Chance was long dead. Chance is soon re-captured by his new "owner", and having lost the one thing that has meant the most to him, he lets Thor train him into a ruthless killing machine. But then the day of the big last-dog-standing tournamet arrives, and he learns one of his opponents is Hannibal ...

 

Of course, this movie wears its message on its sleeve, that organized dogfights are bad - and there are only few who would oppose this I'm sure. However, the film doesn't try to overwhelm one with its message but creates a plot with lots of heart to support it, and really puts storytelling above everything else. And sure, Chance isn't exactly free of clichés, but likeable and relatable characters, easy-on-the-eye character designs and animation, and just the right balance between realism and fable-like fantasy make this film really compelling, and also a pretty good watch.
