Space Buddies
Space
Buddies is the delightful family tail... err tale about a group of
Labrador puppies which follows from the highly popular Snow Buddies
movie. Reminiscent of movies such as Babe, Space Buddies revolves
five puppies who happen to get themselves in a variety of comical
misadventures.
The story
begins with the puppies investigating a private corporations attempt at
space flight and when their owners go away, they all sneak to out to
watch the first private space flight. Not happy by just watching the
flight from the distance, the group of puppies decide to investigate
even further, somehow managing to don "dog" space suits with B-Dawg (Skyler
Gisondo) leading Buddha (Field Cate), Budderball (Josh Flitter), Mudbud
(Henry Hodges) and Rosebud (Liliana Mumy) on board the unmanned test
flight.
Of course
things go astray and it's up to buddies to set things straight as they
visit a mysterious Russian space "ghost" satellite led by the crazy
Russian Yuri (Diedrich Bader) and his dog Spudnick (Jason Earles), land
on the moon and are helped back to earth by Gravity, a ferret who is
based in mission control. With some great acting by all involved,
especially the voices of the buddies and the humans who star in this
movie, Space Buddies is the perfect family move from irresistibly
cute puppies who look too cute for school, the occasion "fart" joke and
some high adventure.
It may
clichéd, glam and contrived but it's hard not to like about a group of
talking puppies as they explore space and become the heroes of their
town. On DVD, the video quality features sharp images and vibrant
colours, however the standout feature is the surround sound video. After
you've finished watching the movie, the special features are quite
entertaining, especially the mock "Buddy Bloopers". Needless to say,
Disney have released a first class presentation, even though it's a
straight to DVD movie.
