There was a pastiche of (Terry Gilliam?) animation in a recent episode of Fringe that contained what looked to me like a (big-eared) Cairnish type dog - particularly with the erect ears and proud tail. 22+ seconds in.

I don't know if this counts as it is not a movie, but a TV series. Last nights episode of The Americans on FX. A couple of Russian spies, working undercover in America during the 80's, walking through a park in the dark discussing an issue. The woman spy has a Cairn Terrier on leash. I'm pretty sure the Cairn is spying on the spies. :ninja2:

I'm just now getting around to this week's episode of The Americans. It was so exciting to see that wheaten Cairn in the park! The character walking the Cairn is a regular, so hopefully the Cairn will show up more often. I think there's a whole chaos of Cairns working as double agents; it'll be a major plot development in season two. ;)

I watched the scene a couple of times, and it sure seemed to me that Cairn was pulling pretty hard on the leash. I was laughing, glad to see a Hollywood Cairn is just as stubborn on the leash as my Addie.

My mom just sent me a picture of a new animated movie coming out: Legends of Oz (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0884726/). It looks like they're going to have a Cairn as Toto; well an animated Cairn. 

 

It doesn't look entirely pleased to be on the movie poster.  :lol:

It seems it is based on a novel written by one of Baum's grandsons.

I happened on "Bright Eyes", a 1934 Shirley Temple movie. Had to watch more of it when I spied a Cairn! Turns out to be Terry (Toto).

 

Funniest scene so far is when Terry shows up on Christmas morning hitched to a little wagon! She's pulls it into the room, with the doll that's in the wagon.

I watched the movie "Twister" last night and I'm pretty sure the dog in the beginning of the movie (not in the middle) is a Cairn, which would make sense since there are some Wizard of Oz references in the movie. Can't find a photo of the dog but his name was Toby, and he was supposed to have been Helen Hunt's dog when she was a little girl. They took him down in the storm cellar with the family. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

Not sure about the Helen Hunt the actress part, but intriguing parallel I had never really noticed before: Helen Hunt the breeder, (affix Shagbark) was influential (PDF) in Cairns,  although she died at an advanced age in '95. Toby was surely not *that* Helen Hunt's childhood dog :)

 

A forum member who hasn't been by in a few years was approached about possibly using his Cairn in the movie. Topic from 2006: The Movie Twister.

Looks like Romney in 1949 movie, A Kiss in the Dark with David Niven and Jane Wyman (multiple scenes with closeup). Uncredited? Photos attached from the film.
