The result: one of the most acclaimed performance films of all time. The cliché goes that truth is stranger than fiction, and in this case, it is also funnier and more heartbreaking. Reilly, famous for his game show innuendos and "X Files" guest appearances, takes us through his bizarre, star-studded, tragic, hilarious, and ultimately amazing life with a potent blend of tenderness and quick one-liners.

Actor, comedian and talk-show quipster Charles Nelson Reilly recounts tales from his amazing life in this filmed staging of his one-man play in North Hollywood, Calif. The Tony winner regales the crowd with reminiscences of his lobotomized aunt, his racist mother, his acting classmates Jason Robards and Hal Holbrook, his Hollywood Squares stints and more -- all with his trademark wit and good humor.

New Orleans, Louisiana…1939. After escaping from a dog pound, junkyard German shepherd Charlie B. Barkin is double-crossed and killed by his old gambling partner, a pit bull named Carface Malone. Finding himself at the great pet cemetery in the sky without a good deed to his name, Charlie is returned to Earth, where a little orphan girl (who can speak to dogs and predict race winners) comes to rely upon him for help. Charlie sees that he can use the girl as a way to regain his old business and get revenge against Carface. But instead, Charlie learns that there is something else much more valuable, something which he missed in life the first time around... Love.

In the make-believe realm of Toyland, lovely Mary Contrary must be saved from marrying the evil Barnaby instead of her true love, Jack Be Nimble, in this animated rendition of composer Victor Herbert's tuneful children's classic.

Animator Don Bluth renders the rousing musical tale of Chanticleer (voiced by country singer Glen Campbell), a foolhardy farm rooster who believes his crows can actually make the sun come up and shine. When the sun rises one morning without Chanticleer's crow, he leaves the farm in disgrace and runs off to become a rock 'n' roll singer. But in his absence, a sinister, sunshine-hating owl (Christopher Plummer) prepares to take over.
