Beethoven's 5th is a fun family comedy movie from 2003. It's the fifth film in the popular Beethoven series, which is all about a lovable St. Bernard dog. This movie went straight to video, meaning it wasn't shown in cinemas. In this film, a young actress named Daveigh Chase plays the character of Sara.
This movie was the last one in the original Beethoven series. A new movie called Beethoven's Big Break came out in 2008, but it was a fresh start for the character, not a direct follow-up.
