ABOUT THE DOGGONE POPULAR FRANCHISE
Few things are more appealing, adorable and elicit bigger enthusiasm than man’s best friend. From classic Old Yeller to classy Beverly Hills Chihuahua to animated Bolt, one of Hollywood’s surest ways to delight audiences of all ages lies firmly at the feet of our four‐legged friends. Since the 1997 big‐screen debut of the sports‐minded Golden Retriever star “uddy,”audiences have thrilled to the high‐stakes antics in the AIR BUD movie series with its fantastic sportsthemed adventures including basketball, football, soccer, volleyball and even America’ national pastime –baseball!
A quintet of adorable talking puppies followed the “Bud” movies in 2006, with the highly anticipated launch of the BUDDIES series – and a puppy craze began as AIR BUDDIES became the biggest live‐action Direct‐To‐DVD movie of the year!
Following in those triumphant paw prints, the wise‐cracking pups went North to Alaska to compete in a daring dogsled adventure, barking up yet another #1 for 2008, as SNOW BUDDIES crossed the finish line as the best‐selling live‐action Direct‐to‐DVD of all time*! Released to Disney DVD in February 2009, SPACE BUDDIES sent the puppies where no dog has gone before, and rocketed another hit into the homes of millions. With SANTA BUDDIES in 2009, director Robert Vince brought the popular puppy franchise to Christmas, with the overwhelmingly popular story that joined the ranks of the Disney dog classics, on the way to becoming the biggest live‐action Direct‐to‐DVD release of the year.
My Take on the MovieAs animal lovers our girls have some to love some of the movies that have come out from Disney in the past as mentioned above. I can remember back to my first movie experiences as a child seeing Old Yeller Though this movie was not the happiest of movies (in the end) it showed the love of an animal and his master. Lately I have been impresed with everything else that the movie business can do to weave in a fun storyline, with animals, and this story is nothing different.
Overall, my girls, J-Mom and I all though that the movie was cute and it was one that I could see us watching over and over in the future. The plot was fun (though predicatable in some places), but the girls were entertained and they loved watching what the dogs would do next. If you are looking for a fun, family-oriented film, this is a great one to check out!
