Spooky Buddies: A Casa Mal-Assombrada

This movie is very good

Be sure to say your 5 daily prayers Jimbob out!

This time, the adorable talking puppies are taken to a mysterious mansion where something spooky is happening. Disney's cutest puppies are back, join your favorite pals: the gluttonous Budderback, the stylish Rosebud, the laid-back Buddha, the rapper B. Dawg and the rowdy MudBud for lots of fun, action and mayhem in this exciting story about the strength of teamwork and the importance of following your dreams. When things get tough, our heroes must team up with their new friends.

Expectation: that this is the cutest of the entire franchise, after all I love a haunted house, despite being almost absolutely sure that it will be as silly, fluffy and boring as the others... Reality as silly, fluffy and annoying as the others ...

Being a huge fan of the Buddies movies, I was really excited about this movie when I heard it was coming out. The gap between this one and "Santa Buddies" was nearly two years. ("The Search for Santa Paws" doesn't count.) For a while, this movie has been rumored, but I've found no info of it either on IMDb, Wikipedia, or even the official Buddies website. But now it's here. But enough about that, let's move on to the review...

Sadly, I'd have to say that this movie was not worth the wait. Compared to it's predecessors, "Spooky Buddies" was a huge letdown. Nobody I recognized worked on the movie (with the exception of Michael Bolton, who was the production manager for some reason), the story is unoriginal, the characters are uninspiring, the Buddies are not shown very much despite the fact that they are the titular characters, the CG effects badly rip off "Casper", and there's a lot of logic in the movie that makes so little sense that I'm sure the Nostalgia Critic will have a fit about!

I never thought I'd say this, but this was easily the worst of the Buddies movies. At first I thought Disney would never disappoint me with this franchise. (I'm still not sure why so many people hate these movies.) "Space Buddies" did come pretty close, but "Spooky Buddies takes the cake. On a positive note, "Treasure Buddies" was a considerable improvement. I'll just hope that Disney will continue to make these Buddies movies and make them the way they should be made.

I watched this movie last night, and I'm still in shock. I can't understand how the producers of the movie weren't sued. Honestly, this was an extremely bad copy of Hocus Pocus. There's a scene with a dance, a male witch, talking animals, a legend, a book with spells, a man who behaves like a zombie. I could not believe what I was watching. Hocus Pocus is one of my favourite childhood films, and it felt a little bit insulting to see how shamelessly the producers of this film had stolen everything from it. It's just a pity because there are some known names on the cast list. However, I did not see what other viewers are complaining about, the Christian matter. There are a lot of films with witches, talking animals and spells, and kids don't get traumatized by it. It's scarier fanaticism and complaining about talking dogs than this movie.

I have read a review on here with a person being so upset that the spooky buddies is pushing religion in the face of their children!!!! The BUDDIES series is a Disney made series for children and young people, it do not push religion in your face, it's all for who ever believes in what ever....I am united, a Christianity religion but that does not mean the movie is poking religion in my face or your. If you look into all movies and TV shows your child watches, you will see that all movies are created to entertain a certain audience....I am all for the SPOOKY BUDDIES and all of their movies. Children love the buddies, and it isn't all about religion...just some people want to cause a riot I guess
