Killer is the secondary antagonist in All Dogs go to Heaven franchise. He always serves as a "henchman" for Carface. He appears in All Dogs Go to Heaven, All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series and An All Dogs Christmas Carol. He was voiced by the late Charles Nelson Reilly.

Personality[]

Killer is bumbling, neurotic, spineless, dweeby, mild-mannered, long-suffering, and less evil compared to Carface. He is also very squeamish, and in the first film he once fainted at the sight of ketchup. He and Itchy share some similarities, both being sidekicks, and constantly being dragged into messes by their leaders (Charlie & Carface). But compared to Itchy, Killer has it harder, as Carface often mistreated, under appreciated, and blamed him for things that backfired. However, despite the abuse, Killer remains loyal to Carface. Later, he reforms.

He has a devilish side, as shown when he asks Carface if he should kill Charlie by having to squeezing his head with pliers, which he seemed anxious to do so, but Carface decided against it.

Appearance[]

Killer is a skinny and slightly muscular American Schnoodle with light tan fur, bushy ears, and a bushy tail. He also wears a pair of oversized glasses along with a spiked collar. Killer's waist down and back legs are plump, while his torso and front legs are thin.

All Dogs Go To Heaven[]

After finding out that Charlie is back, Killer informs this to Carface, and is seen in the shadows plotting Charlie's death with Carface's other minions later on. He assists Carface in Charlie's demise by getting him (and himself) drunk at the Mardi Gras, blindfolds the drunken Charlie and helps his boss run him over with a car and off the docks. Not too much later, he and Carface are forcing Anne-Marie into talking to a nearby rat, declining her access outside, until Charlie gets her out. Much later, Carface is about to feed Killer to some piranhas, when the Schnoodle told his boss about a ray gun, to which Carface agrees. The next day, Carface and Killer attempt to shoot Charlie and Anne-Marie, but Killer misfires, causing the pit bull to holler, "Morons! I'm surrounded by morons!"  Well into the climax, Carface repeatedly told Killer to shut up, as if he did not need him any longer. The last Killer is seen in the movie, is when he pushes Anne-Marie's makeshift raft away from the sinking boat. It remains unknown what happened to him after this.

All Dogs Go To Heaven 2[]

Killer does not appear in the sequel nor is he mentioned.

TV Series[]

Killer reappears in the series, once again serving as Carface's bumbling minion. However, in one episode, "Sickicked", Carface is absent.

An All Dogs Christmas Carol[]

In the beginning, Killer just followed along with Carface and did what Carface told him to do. But at the end, he shows his true heart. Killer is in the Christmas spirit and so is Carface.
