Tim Allen is a Shaggy Dog

If you ask me, this early poster for the upcoming Disney flick The Shaggy Dog is a little, well, creepy. Seeing Tim Allen's eyes peering out from a shaggy dog mane is just a little disconcerting, don't you think?

In any event, the movie is coming out in March. It is a remake of the 1959 film and tells the story of a lawyer who occasionally transforms into a large, shaggy sheepdog. And not only does Tim star in the movie, he also co-wrote and produced it.

Three of the movie's stars have experience with canines. Tim says, "My dog is dumb as a box of rocks. If I walk around the back side of the car and the dog [is watching me], and [then] I come back around, he [barks like crazy]! And I go, 'It's me!'"

Robert Downey Jr., who stars in the film as Tim's nemesis, notes, "I have a lot of experience with dogs -- Mastiffs, Yorkshire Terriers -- throughout my life here on earth as a man who interacts with dogs."

And the lovely Kristin Davis notes that her pooch is pretty darn lucky (and not just because he gets to share a home with her): "My dog has a really good life. I think she knows it too." In fact the golden retriever's life is so fabulous that it flies in a private jet whenever she and Kristin travel together! "She loves it," says Kristin. "She has her own chair."
