Synopsis

In the Disney comedy BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA, Chloe (voice of Drew Barrymore), a diamond-clad, bootie-wearing Beverly Hills Chihuahua, enjoys her luxurious lifestyle so much, she hardly notices Papi (voice of George Lopez), a Chihuahua who happens to be crazy for the pampered pooch. But when Chloe gets lost in Mexico with only a streetwise German Shepherd (voice of Andy Garcia) to help her find her way home, Papi heads south of the border—joining forces with a motley crew: three dogs (voices of Placido Domingo, Luis Guzman and Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo), two humans (Piper Perabo, Manolo Cardona), a sly rat (voice of Cheech Marin) and a nervous iguana (voice of Paul Rodriguez)—to rescue his true love.

This live-action adventure also features actors Jamie Lee Curtis as Aunt Viv, Jose Maria Yazpik as baddie Vasquez, Maury Sterling as Rafferty, Jesús Ochoa as Officer Ramirez, and Eugenio Derbez as the store owner. Edward James Olmos is the voice of the menacing Doberman El Diablo, Loretta Devine is the voice of snooty Toy Poodle Delta, and Michael Urie is the voice of pompous Pug Sebastian.

But the real stars of the show just may be the truly international, impeccably trained, lovable canine cast—more than 200 in total. Some were found at rescues in Los Angeles and Mexico, some were seasoned Hollywood dogs.
