Santa Buddies
Posted by admin on Nov 26, 2009 in Christmas Movie |
Christmas spirit is waning around the globe, and people are losing sight of the real meaning of Christmas. Up at the North Pole, Santa and his trusty dog Santa Paws are alarmed because the Christmas icicle, which is the source of Christmas magic, is melting. Even scarier is the fact that only Santa Paws’s young pup Puppy Paws can spread the word about the importance of Christmas spirit to the new generation, but all he wants to do is be a normal dog. After looking at the naughty…

This is mainly in response to the previous reviewer complaining about this movie. This movie is obviously not for you because your an adult and you probably don’t have children. Because if you did, you would see that kids love these movies, my son watches them all the time(he’s 4). The target audience is obviously children, not some grumpy old man with internet access and extreme distaste for Golden Retrievers.
I just finsihed watching a preview copy of this and I believe that it will be a Christmas must film for any family with very small children. This is not a movie for adults. It is, I repeat, a movie for kids. (Though I know of dogs that enjoy watching dogs on TV, so perhaps it is also a movie for dogs and their owners. I do not have a dog, but I recently dog-sitted an absolutely magnificent German Shepherd — Hi Lion! — for a couple of weeks with my daughter. I noticed that he liked seeing dogs on TV, so this might have been something that he would have found fascinating.) I mean, what kid wouldn’t flip out for a movie with talking puppies?
The story itself will make a Scrooge-hearted adult cringe a bit. I frankly didn’t quite follow it. Somehow or other Puppy Paws, Santa Claus’s puppy, who has fled to some town in Washington in an effort to be a regular puppy and gotten himself caught by pound owner Stan Crudge (Christopher Lloyd), must be found and returned to the North Pole or Christmas will be in danger. And there is something about a melting icicle in a cavern that also has to be saved so Christmas can be saved, though how this relates to Puppy Paws escapes me, though maybe this has something to do with the necklace around Puppy Paws’s neck. But hey! This isn’t about story. It is about cute talking puppies who are able to fly at the end pulling a sleigh that takes Puppy Paws back to the North Pole. And a poor kid who is sick and needs to a puppy to feel better (and gets the puppy named Tim). And when Santa’s reindeer are unable to pull Santa’s sleigh, the Buddies (from Robert Vince’s various Bud and Buddie movies) step in and pull a smaller one, with Puppy Paws dropping down chimneys to deliver the toys, to save Christmas. And Tiny gets to sing a couple of songs.
Best scene: a Golden Retriever puppy and the all white dog (not sure of the breed) who plays Puppy Paws roll around in moist dirt, enter the house, go into an all white room, and get dirt over everything.
Look, adults are not going to like this (except in cases noted above). The plot is pretty hard to take (to the extent that it makes any sense at all) and it milks every emotion possible, but anyone who has had a small child or simply knows the taste of very young children (I’m talking ages 3 to 7) will recognize how they will get a kick out of this. So remember, this movie is all about the kids. And puppies.
This is another one of the Disney’s dual packs, which contains both a DVD and Blu-ray copy of the film. I think this is a great idea. The one package is appropriate for any household. And if a kid watches this at home on Blu-ray can watch it on DVD if they take it over to a friend’s house. Of if you watch it at home on Blu-ray, you can watch it on DVD in the car. I don’t know how much longer Disney will keep this up, but it is a great idea.
