Absolutely inappropriate for under 8 year olds. Scary. Violent. The stuff of nightmares for children.
Plot summary
Ozzy, a friendly, peaceful beagle has his idyllic life turned upside down when the Martins leave on a long and distant trip. There's only one problem: no dogs allowed! Unable to bring their beloved Ozzy along for the ride, they settle on the next best thing, a top-of-the-line canine spa called Blue Creek. This picture perfect place turns out to be a facade constructed by its villainous owner to capture dogs. Ozzy will soon end up in the real Blue Creek, a prison for dogs, run by dogs. Ozzy will have to avoid danger and find strength in his new friends, Chester, Fronky and Doc to escape the prison and return home safely. The narrative of 'OZZY' aims to follow in the footsteps of movies which employs Pixar-like quality and fun. 'OZZY' is an animated comedy-adventure movie targeted for kids of all ages and represents family entertainment at its best. The story itself is based, almost entirely, around dogs. 'OZZY' falls into the "prison movie" genre with funny tributes to the great prison classics. It's a story about friendship, loyalty, courage and the ability to find the best in ourselves when facing a tough situation.

Scary dreadful movie
inferior animation
Ozzy is a suburban dog whose biggest problem is a sadistic paper boy and his viscous dog. When his family goes on a trip, he is put up in a high end doggie spa. In reality, the palatial kennel is nothing but a front. The dogs are shipped off to a prison work camp making frisbees.
I have issues with the story but mostly it's the animation where this could improve. It's a Spanish-Canadian coproduction and it looks more than a decade obsolete. It has no chance to be the top of the line. They should learn to be more like Blue Sky where the animation is more cartoon and gear the story towards kids. I don't think a doggie prison is kiddie material. There are numerous other issues. Overall, this is simply inferior.
Underestimating
Never mind the ... well outdated animation. Hopefully you can do that, otherwise you may already have at least one issue with this movie. Of course as I understand some have an issue with the tone too. I think some are underestimating kids nowadays. They can and are aware of more things than we think they are and they can deal with what is displayed here.
That doesn't mean that there aren't jokes mostlyy aimed at the adults watching this. Prison theme and other stuff that may feel weird to say the least for kids watching. But nothing they will be traumatized by. No the worst animated movie I've seen .. and cute dogs are cute dogs. Also it does have a nice message overall
