Pup Star

Amazing singing. Very well trained dogs. Very special characters. Young ones will be enthralled by the plot line, especially dog lovers. Active and entertaining, with a beautiful story for families, toon.

I am not going to lie when I say this. I once had some admiration for this film,but after seeing the last two sequels after the first sequel(and looking back at the original today),I felt as though my eyes were going to decay like a rotten apple. Robert Vince, who was not complete garbage back when he produced the original Air Bud and Air Buddies series, has apparently ruined this original of the entire Pup Star series with the sequels Pup Star World Tour and Puppy Star Christmas in a way that I won't make this review very long with. As a result, Pup Star has now been officially banned from my library of digital purchase streaming media as well as other future productions from Air Bud Entertainment such a Pup Academy.

A Yorkshire Terrier, competing in a televised singing competition, is separated from her owner by an opportunistic dog pound worker.

Fantastic, family, fun, funny, cute and really cool.

A purebred puppy participates in a singing competition on TV and ends up separated from her owner by an opportunistic kennel employee.

Stuffed with artistic references that most are unaware of, cute, with little animals that move their mouths when talking, however more of the same when it comes to the producer, Air Bub entertainment, less interesting than the equally cute "Bub: O Cão Amigo" from the same producer...

Pup Star is a fun, fantastic, family-friendly film! It really is an amazing and inspiring movie with talking and singing dogs. I found myself cheering for the super talented Tiny and booing the bad guys, or should I say bad dogs!

The story is about Tiny, an adorable Yorkie pup who dreams of becoming the next Pup Star, which is a spin off of the popular TV singing competition reality shows. The celebrity judges include Dog Gnarly, Blake Sheltie, Lady Paw Paw and of course, Simone Growl.

Along Tiny's journey, she is dog napped, meets colorful companions and becomes a more inspired singer with the help of Charlie, who is on his own journey. Tiny is encouraged by everyone she meets to keep going and not give up on her dreams. My favorite part is when Tiny sings. Kaitlyn Maher's voice over and singing of Tiny is outstanding and all 13 original songs are so strong melodically that I found myself humming along to the song Blue Skies after watching it. Additionally, the various voice over and singing talents for all the other dogs are equally impressive.

The message of this film is never give up and follow your dreams. Tiny faces many challenges and tries her hardest to persevere and reconnect with her loving family.

The talking and singing dogs are created with amazing special effects. Their mouths move in perfect harmony with the words and lyrics. Also, I love the rich and emotional music composed by Brahm Wenger which draws you in from the get go. I recently had the privilege to interview the writer and producer of Pup Star, Anna McRoberts and she mentioned that this is the biggest cast of talking and singing dogs ever in one movie - 31 total. Bow Wow!!!

Out of all the Air Bud Entertainment movies, this is my favorite. We can all relate to following our dreams no matter what they are and cheering for the underdog. I recommend this film to kids age 5 to 18 as well as anyone who loves dogs – kids and adults alike. With so many wonderful things to love about this family friendly film movie, I give it 5 out of 5 pup stars! I want to share one more thing: throughout this entire film, I actually forgot that dogs don't really talk… or do they?

I know what you're going to say. "This movie is crap!" But Air bud Entertainment is so underrated it's not funny. I discovered this on Netflix and now I can't stop watching this lol. Unique plot, family friendly, and TALKING DOGS!
