The Air Buds in: The heat death of the universe. "Wow, it's cold." "You can say that again." "I can't breathe."

Wow, isn't it awfully rich for this movie to preach about "Christmas not being about commercialism" when it's essentially the fourth installment of a heavily milked franchise? As well as the fourth Air Bud movie exploiting Christmas?

Hell yeah he is!

Here’s some details about Pup Star to help clear things up: 1. The dogs can talk because of an intelligence-boosting dog treat called Evolution Dog Treats. The implications of this is not explored at all and is just used to explain why the dogs talk and nothing else. 2. Tiny, the mother dog, is voiced by long-time Air Bud Entertainment child actress Kaitlyn Maher. 3. Scrappy, the puppies' aunt, is Tiny’s long-lost identical sister who had a cliched switcheroo plot in the second movie. She’s pretty much a non-entity in this movie. 4. P.U.P was Scrappy's friend in the second movie and opened up his own recording studio in the third movie. 5. Roland was an evil dog-catcher stereotype while Cano was in charge of a stray dog gang. Bark was a famous star at Pup Star but secretly stole his songs from his friend. The three have been working together in each movie to ruin Tiny’s career at Pup Star. That’s how they know each other. 6. Julio was an actor for telenovelas that was rigged to win the world tour thing but was disqualified when the Pup Stars found out.

I imagine everything gets handed to all the dogs easily because there was no way the behind the scenes folks could get the dogs to do anything else other than sit, stand or walk. Like, "Oops, can't make the dogs lock up Santa, so let's cut to a different scene and then show him in a cage. Problem solved!” or “Uh-oh, no dog-elf showdown. Just make the elves agree to let the dogs take charge! We’ll only uses our CGI animation for dancing, we know what the kiddies want!”

That seems like a likely reason, since I don't think they splurged for trained dogs. The puppies, at least in the Air Buddies movies, were just randomly shipped in from breeders (which caused issues when they got a batch that were too young to be vaccinated which resulted in puppy deaths), so they probably just took any dog that looked the part regardless of how well they were trained.

I recognized one of the elves as the guy who played Kramer's friend Mickey on Seinfeld.

I didn’t know this movie even existed. I didn’t realise that they kept on making Air Bud movies after Disney stopped releasing them

28:21 I want A-pup-alypse Now to be a thing that actually exists

Bark really wanted those Christmas cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies!!!

Matt's editing is really on point with these. I'm really enjoying his work! Also, as a bland guy who just wears boring clothes all the time, I really dig both of your fashion choices in these videos. :) I have to say, even though I would probably never be able to stand watching a movie like this myself, I do admire the way it just goes all out with the nuttiness, and it looks like the actors are all having a good time as well.

this movie must of been RUFF to get through. XD

Love the dinosaur Christmas sweater. I guess that's another connection to Theodore Rex.

My sister almost got hired as a writer for the production company that made the Air Bud films. Apparently, and you're never going to believe this, but these are very assembly line-like productions. A writing team pitches concepts, producers pick which one they think would work best (whether it's because of scheduling, budget or some other reason), someone on the team writes it, preproduction starts, etc. Very efficient and workman-like. She said they were nice people and almost everyone there actually seemed to care about what they were making, believe it or not. My sister didn't get the job because her background of writing historical dramas was kind of a bad match.

Well, at least this film proves two things: Humour is dead, and Santa is real.

I admire the restraint it must have taken to not reference/use the "dogs barking Jingle Bells" in this review.

Ziggy just wanted you to watch a Christmas movie with talking cats.

Tidings of great joy to you on this joyous holiday!

Okay, this one requires a little setup but I have determined in my brain it's still worth it. One of the few things that grows easily in a permafrost environment is magic mushrooms. Unlike traditional plants, all they need is a little warmth and moisture and they'll spring up surprisingly quick. So you can easily find some in reindeer poop. And, it so happens, reindeer _loooove_ getting fucked up, to the point that we've observed they have designated pooping spots in their grazing paths so they always know where to go to get their buzz going, which will only increase the percentage of their next poop that's magic mushroom, compounding. This is so commonplace that any reindeer poop you might find from a tundra reindeer is all but guaranteed to have hallucinogenic properties. So knowing that, this movie could have instantly become my favorite movie in the world if that guy who tasted the rainbow reindeer poop spent the rest of his movie smashed out of his mind, stripping off clothes and running from invisible spiders.

Are they back by pup-ular demand? Lol

the puppy kidnapping feels like a Baywatch Nights episode

This is from the Air Bud movie? The one about a clown, a boy, and the basketball game? Honestly, they should have stopped it when Josh went off to college.

"There is no rules that a dog can't play basketball and start a very confusing and overexploited extended universe."

All i can think is you're losing your mind about a movie while these dog's children are living well.

Hey, I’ve got that exact same T-Rex sweater! Glad to see you have such good taste in ugly Christmas sweaters. ❤🦖

Elon the Elf rebrands Christmas as *XX-Mas*

Somehow this is just as hard to follow as the Marvel Cinematic Universe and even more surreal Oh god that CGI dog is horrifying. How far back do they start to talk?! There's no rule a dog can't enter the Mortal Kombat tournament. Dan Woodburn is always typecast but damn it he doesn't sleep through any performance. "I'm Elon" "No wonder this operation is running itself into the ground here" X mas LOL "It's a Rielhly special Christmas" Santa gets abducted so easily in this shows. You'd think he'd have decent security or at least take some self-defense classes or just buy a gun. "OH NO HE WAS THEODORE REX" Dog: "Aurora Borealis!" Me: "PLAY THE SIMPSONS CLIP" (Simpsons Clip) Me: "WOOHOO!" Were Tesla and TMZ just sponsors of this movie? This is basically like if Heidi 4Paws replaced all the boring with total insanity I always look forward to these crazy Christmas reviews.

The original 'Air Bud' was The Rise of the Planet of the Apes of the Air Bud franchise; he was their Ceaser. Now they evolved and coexist with humans, at least for now

Merry Christmas Allison & Phelan!

This plot sounds incredibly similar to the last 20 minutes of The Santa Clause 3, when it decided to start having a plot. Only no Martin Short, so what's the point?

The editor has a suspiciously large amount of knowledge of the Air Bud / Pup Star cinematic universe.

I love Allison singing the Sub-Zero song about Kano. (as a diehard fan of the MK album, Kano's song is definitely not that memorable)

The thing abt Kano being so "terrifying" is it doesn't work cuz that dog is way too well behaved and friendly looking. Also he's just not that big. Max from Man's Best friend he is not.

And Kano Was His Name, How Lame-O! 🐶🤣🎼🎵🎶

Here is an idea for a Xmas Story, NetherRealm Presents JHONNY CAGE SAVES CHRISTMAS! Starring Jhonny Cage as Jhonny Cage, David Harbour as Santa Claus & Kano as KAN O [or viser versa] with special guess Sub Zero. JHONNY CAGE SAVES KHRISTMAS! Merry Christmas Allison & Phelan!

What in the world has happened in the interim between Air Bud and this?????

Man, George Newbern being in this makes me almost as sad as when Kevin Conroy was in Yoga Hosers

Same cinematographer as Scream (1996), Mark Irwin.

I watched that Melissa Joan Hart magic nutcracker film last week and Richard Riehle was in that as well. Does he ever turn down work??

I thought the franchise ended with the "Buddies" movies.

Dmz... 😅 Side note if you ever review Andomeda tv series I'd watch. I'm like 20 years late to seeing that show, and in the first handful of episilodes there's genocide they shrug off. It made me think of your start trek reviews which were funny.

I thought that was DSP in the thumbnail

I hope one Day Phelous make a Video with Bobsheaux because both reviewed multiple Times Movies from the other and they have a similar Style.

ELLOOOO Baby, we needed some Australian cyborg dogs in this franchise, c'mon. Hey Lupa, any chance of that Addams Family Reunion thing coming here?

Mmm 🤔 no idea what this ‘TMZ’ is but I definitely know about Kingdom hearts 😂❤

XD

Was one of the villains the alien captain from Galaxy Quest?

Puppies amirite

I did not expecc to see a reference to your EGREGIOUS Kingdom Hearts negligence from Richie Rich video, but I will draw nourishment from it like moss on a rock nonetheless. Anyway that's mostly what I have to say about this because while I had a blast diving into this story of puppy-musicians and Santa Claus, I feel like all the fun here comes from the fact I'm diving headfirst into some extraordinarily convoluted canon that's apparently had a whole alternate world history building up whereas I thought they just had a dog who played basketball and football... but somehow it STILL feels like the most bland and formulaic thing I've seen in my life. If I had followed the lore release by release as a true Buddy (what the fanbase surely calls itself) then I think I wouldn't have been surprised by anything here, and then the platitude-filled plot would have just bored me. But here I am, swaying from baffled that the rap-dog has a nemesis to barly even caring that four dogs took over the North Pole because I'm not even sure how all that connects to the musician-dogs family woes and the movie makes very little effort to make that connection clear. And in that strange mental headspace, there is some merit to be gained from Puppy Star Christmas. Outside it? No. Just no.

Wait wut? You have a playthrough of Kingdom Hearts? On the tube?
