Be top-of-class by celebrating the 18th anniversary of this film’s theatrical release. In the animated feature, Spot (voiced by Nathan Lane) is a snarky, blue-furred dog whose greatest desire is to be transformed into a human and who already wears a human costume so he can pose as a student at a local school. Opportunity strikes when he sees a television commercial in which Doctor Krank (voiced by Kelsey Grammer) claims to be able to turn animals into humans. When the experiment goes wrong, Spot must enlist the help of his owner, Leonard Helperman (voiced by Shaun Fleming).
