If you loved The Ugly Dachshund, try The Cat from Outer Space
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Norman Tokar, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Ugly Dachshund, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Cat from Outer Space is
Aliens pick the most qualified species and still end up in bureaucratic purgatory. A telepathic cat crash-lands and recruits a skeptical scientist to retrieve its impounded spacecraft. The laws of physics remain intact, but so does the fluff.
