The Shaggy Dog is a family comedy film that was remade by Walt Disney Pictures in 2006. The film is a remake of the 1959 classic Disney movie of the same name. The story revolves around Dave Douglas, played by Tim Allen, a workaholic lawyer and father who becomes the unwitting subject of an experiment gone wrong when he is bitten by a 300-year-old sacred dog in Tibet.
After the incident, Dave starts experiencing strange and humorous transformations, turning into a shaggy Old English Sheepdog whenever he gets overly excited or stressed. As he tries to juggle his professional life and family responsibilities, Dave must find a way to reverse the effects of the dog bite before it is too late.
The movie combines elements of family comedy, adventure, and heartwarming moments as Dave reconnects with his family and realizes the importance of spending time with them. The film also features Kristin Davis as Dave’s supportive wife, Rebecca, and Robert Downey Jr. as the eccentric scientist behind the experiment.
