Most disgusting Heidi adaptation ever made

There's no words to describe the idiocy of this movie. Who honestly thought it was a good idea to mix the Airbuddy sequels with literature classics!?

The plot is basically similar to that of the original book, but there's no way a fan of the original classic can enjoy it. It is butchered by americanized childish humor; if the writers were truly fans of literature and wanted to encourage children to read, why the hell did they feel like using the lowest possible form of humor?

On the other hand, I can see logic in their method. A movie so awful only encourages people to stay away from film adaptations. Or movies in general, for that matter.

Also, the CGI dog mouths are nightmarish. Uncanny valley at it's finest.

Sweet movie

This is a movie that my daughter watched so many times when she was little. One of her favorites. I also didn't mind that I had to watch it a million times too. I thought it was really well done. Sweet movie with a good message for kids and adorable pups!
