Now i like dogs and the Disney buddies franchise because the dogs from this movie are cute and the only thing I like from this part, not as good as any other films but also far from the worst Disney movies ever, the worst Disney movies from 2006 were The Wild which is a copy of Madagascar and The Fox And The Hound 2 which is a terrible sequel from the very first movie The Fox And The Hound which is way better, now i don't blame Disney for doing that movie despite it uses too much toilet humor like dogs doing they're disgusting business, even though Underdog (2007) has more toilet humor because of the disgusting jokes about pooping which is so disgusting and embarrassing. Now i find the Air buddies movie alright because the dogs were pretty funny.
Buddy and his girlfriend Molly are back, but this time they can talk and the couple has five puppies. When the dog and his beloved are kidnapped, leaving their owner Noah very sad, the rescue mission will be precisely in charge of this true fantastic quintet: the chubby Budderball, the dirty Mudbud, the meditative Bud-Dha, the amiable RoseBud and the rapper B-Dawg!
As usually happens in my life, I started at the end to finish the franchise with the first film, which explains how the donations of the puppies were made to each of the characters that in the last film act together, the humans, cute, the puppies franchise went to more interesting than Bud dad... Just a little dull and always More of the same...

My 7-year-old daughter loved it, as Disney execs crassly calculated that she would. That's the problem with "Air Buddies." It's a strictly by-the-numbers children's film filled with carefully calculated cuteness, a couple politically correct morals, and enough potty humor to avoid the dreaded G rating. As a parent, or even as a 10-year-old, you've seen it all before, and done better before. Think "101 Dalmatians Meets Home Alone" and you get the general idea. I'm of the opinion that a good children's story is a good story, period. "Air Buddies," which is about as original as recycled paper, fails to meet that standard. It isn't the worst video your child could watch, but there are megatons of better ones.
The movie is cute, and no doubt one the kids will like. As an adult, I found it harmless and watchable. My three children 6-11 enjoyed it a lot. I loved Michael Clark Duncan as a voice talent. I could have listened to him and the character he played all night. Other actors did not seem as polished, allow Wallace Shawn and Debra Jo Rupp were good as expected. There is not as much action with the dogs playing sports, however. The movie (no spoilers) is about Air Buds 5 puppies and how they are kidnapped. The bumbling kidnappers foil everything, but Air Bud and his "Dog Wife" (a subdued Molly Shannon) head out to rescue their pups along with two middle school age boys. The movie seemed to borrow quite heavily from the live action Disney's 101 Dalmatians. All in all, it's still a nice way to have a family night.
We're all over 55 in this household and still enjoyed this movie. We rented this because we loved Air Bud. This movie is darling! Voices of the pups and other animals are perfect for each animal. Wallace Shawn as the goat's voice is right on! And Don Knotts for the bloodhound's voice, (Sniffer), is just great! If you're looking for a light movie that contains all the right family values and you think puppies are adorable, you'll want to watch this movie! Clearly, the animals were well trained. And the cameramen and editor did a great job. And the special effects were really good because all the little puppies look like they REALLY were talking! If you can, watch the other "Air Buddies" movies. We've seen two of the others and like them as well.
Did you know
- TriviaSniffer is Don Knotts' last role.
- GoofsWhen the Buddies are at the drive-in, 101 Dalmatians is playing. When they first arrive, the movie is near the beginning where Pongo and Rodger are at the park. As they enter the projection room, the movie is suddenly near the middle just after the puppies are born. When they walk in front of the projector, it has skipped to the end where the puppies are trying to escape Cruella.
