`Doug': too small for big screen

March 26, 1999|By Gene Seymour | Gene Seymour,NEWSDAY

I have to tell you right off. I liked the Christmas special better.

That episode of "Doug" was about a half-hour long. And a half-hour of "Doug" is about as much "Doug" as anyone, of any age, can reasonably be expected to withstand at a time. The "Doug" universe is too sweet and too light to travel into the big, wide, often indelicate territory of feature films.
