Beethoven is a 1992 American family comedy movie, directed by Brian Levant and written by John Hughes (under the pseudonym "Edmond Dantès") and Amy Holden Jones. The movie's story centers on a St. Bernard dog named after a German composer who finds a home with a suburban family. The movie received mixed reviews from movie critics but was a surprise hit at the box office, earning $147.2 million worldwide. The movie spawned a franchise, including a short-lived animated TV series. A direct sequel, Beethoven's 2nd, was released the following year.
