History Fridge / AllDogsGoToHeaven

* ''Not'' counting the series, the reason Carface isn't in hell during the ChristmasSpecial? After having to ''endure'' him for a time, Satan ''kicked'' Carface out of hell and restored his life becuase he ''got so annoyed with having him around''. Now let '''that''' sink in for a moment...
** Also following that logic, Itchy came back to the land of the living becuase he missed his pal so much [[HeartwarmingInHindsight awwww]].

* Fridge-Heartwarming: Charlie's song "What's Mine is Yours" isn't just about [[EstablishingCharacterMoment establishing]] his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold soft spot for puppies]]. This may also be Charlie trying to teach the puppies to avoid the same trappings as Carface. (From where he stands, if Carface had just been content to share the business with Charlie, [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot things could've turned out differently]].) He's trying to teach them that greed doesn't pay, and there's a special investment in generosity.

--> Annabelle: What's that you have behind your back?
--> Charlie: She's gonna be-
--> Annabelle: Charlie, don't wind that watch!
--> Charlie: -surprised!

** This troper only thought they were heaven born puppies, though what you described is pretty disturbing and sad.

* Itchy's death by chicken bone in the sequel. Sure, he and Charlie are together again, but [[Main/TheWoobie poor Anne Marie]] has now lost ''two'' of her dog friends (and probably quite close together, since Itchy doesn't look much older when he shows up in Heaven). Worse, Itchy died after she promised Charlie, ''who gave his life for her'', that she would take care of him. Imagine how much grief and guilt she must be dealing with...

** He was a rotting corpse with a broken back when he first came back until the watch started ticking at which point he returned to his normal living body. Which makes it likely that his body would regenerate if hit by something. Of course this still leaves the horrible possibilities of him feeling "everything" like Wolverine.

* The only way to kill Charlie is by stopping his watch. This is shown during the ray gun scene. Now, imagine if King Gator had succeeded in eating Charlie. The poor dog would have his flesh and organs melted in the gator's stomach and he'd end up being digested...and ''he'd still be alive during all this''.

*** If memory serves, the movie implies that she's either died (Careface's tearful, "Mom, I miss you.") or is very old by that point, it's never made certain which happened to her, so she could still be alive by that point.

* At the end of the ChristmasSpecial, Carface says he's going to visit his mom. Assuming this is the same Carface from the first movie and not a reincartion his mother is long dead by then, meaning he would be visiting her grave.

* In the ChristmasSpecial, ''puppies'' are seen in Heaven. That carries a rather sad subtext.

--> Whippet: What's that you have behind your back?

--> Whippet: Charlie, don't wind that watch!

** Did they imply at the very end that [[spoiler: Charlie managed to break out of ''Hell'' too? Theoretically the Satan dragon could be in the town merely to retrieve him, but since we don't see Satan running about to pick up the many ''people'' that go to Hell, Charlie must have done something to piss him off.]]

* The Whippet says that she knows exactly how everything turns out and that there are no surprises in Heaven. So, why didn't she know Charlie was going to rewind his watch? Because Charlie's not like other animals who get into Heaven: he'll take the difficulty of living over the easy way of the afterlife. Charlie ''is'' a surprise. At the end of his song, he even sings it:
