Dog City

Set in the 1930s, this crime comedy follows Ace, who inherits a saloon from his late uncle in the dangerous town of Dog City. The story serves as a parody of gangster cinema and film noir, focusing on the conflict between Ace and a powerful bulldog named Bugsy. Because Ace refuses to pay protection money to Bugsy, who controls most of the city, he becomes a target within a world populated by Muppet dogs. Rowlf the dog acts as a guide through this canine underworld.

The film was produced by The Jim Henson Company and written by Tim Burns. It was directed by Jim Henson, following his work on Time Piece, The Great Muppet Caper, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth.

Other voice roles were performed by Dave Goelz, Fran Brill, Camille Bonora, and Rickey Boyd. This United States television movie has a runtime of 40 minutes.
