Air Bud – World Pup: Special Edition: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment
Review by JAM
The third installment of the Air Bud series finds both Josh (Kevin Zegars) and Buddy looking for love on the soccer field, as Josh pursues a young lady, Emma Putter (Brittany Paige Bouck), on the soccer field and Buddy pursues Molly, her dog. Josh joins the soccer team after Emma, a transfer student from England joins the boys team at her new school, and Buddy as always comes along to help Josh out. Bring in the puppies that come from the meeting of Buddy and Molly and you have a plethora of pretty puppies to catch the eyes of your young ones.
Throw in a subplot with the bad guys trying to take the dogs, a dog-pile style rescue, and the normal Air Bud sports save for their team and you have a fun movie for the kids, and a movie that will make the adults smile (mainly because their kids are happy). And the rerelease was of course times for the fanatics of the World Cup and their children, so grab a copy and enjoy the golden times of a dog named Bud.
JAMS Ink on Air Bud World Pup
Award winning? No, but it is a ton of fun for the kids and dog lovers. It is a lot of fun to see the dogs do the tricks they were trained to do, and whether you are a fan of the movies or not you need to give the dogs their props for doing what they do.
The intro of the pups into this film must have laid the groundwork for the Buddies, who of course are included in the extras on this movie. Just so you know, little kids and little puppies go together well, as evidenced by HollywoodTeen’Zine junior reporter Natalia’s video review. Anyway, so I guess we have this move to blame for all the Buddies movies that came out after the Air Bud movies. To be honest though, they are great movies for the little kids as they involve sports, dogs, and friendship so I do highly recommend this movie to those who have young kids.
Extras
Bonus Features include:
The Buddies Sports Channel: Soccer Edition – Rosebud leads the way as she and her siblings discuss and rate the soccer career of their dad, the immortal Air Bud.
