Synopsis:
In this hysterical and wacky animated adventure, a talking dog
named Spot fulfills his ultimate wish to become a "real boy"
when he hooks up with a mad scientist named Ivan Krank (voiced
with a comically wicked flair by Kelsey Grammer). Spot becomes
a canine "guinea pig" in Krank's evolutionary experiment
and, although the scientist's theories still have a few "bugs"
(witness mosquito girl and alligator boy), he is successfully
transformed into a human. The only catch is that Krank didn't
calculate for "dog years" and Spot finds himself in
the body of a middle aged man! The fur really flies as his pals
(led by best friend and master, Leonard Helperman, a cat named
Mr. Jolly, and a boisterous bird named Pretty Boy) help him out
of his "tight Spot" and try to right this genetic wrong.
Nathan Lane "puts on the dog" and gives a hilarious
performance as the voice of Spot. "Teacher's Pet" was
created by world-renowned illustrator Gary Baseman.
