the air bud film series (also known as air buddies or disney buddies) is an american film franchise based on a sports - playing golden retriever named buddy, portrayed by air buddy. the franchise began in 1997 with the theatrical release of air bud, followed by the theatrical release of air bud: golden receiver in 1998. the rest of the films in the series were released in direct - to - dvd form. the air buddies or disney buddies spin - off series began in 2006 with the release of air buddies and it focuses on the adventures of air buddy' s talking golden retriever puppies .
from here, the air bud movies pivoted into the air buddies series, which abandons the sports premise altogether, because the puppies talk now and so there’s no need for it anymore. but given air bud entertainment’s wanton disregard for criticism, it doesn’t make sense that they would stop making air bud movies simply because they fell off of the mainstream critical radar after golden receiver. (the first two weren’t exactly critical favorites, either, with air bud scoring a 43 percent on rotten tomatoes and golden receiver a dismal 21 percent. )

in air bud, our titular canine helps his owner, josh, win a middle school basketball championship. it’s surprising, but kids suck at sports. (kids suck at everything. dogs are better than kids. don’t have a child. adopt a dog .) what’s more surprising, though, is what happens over the course of air bud ’s theatrically released sequel, air bud: golden receiver, and three subsequent direct - to - video installments: air bud plays four other sports and is much, much better at them than he was at basketball. this is an actual image from the fourth film, 2002’s air bud: seventh inning fetch :

twenty years ago, in the summer of 1997, disney released air bud, a movie about a golden retriever named buddy who can play basketball. it did well in the box office because there were enough people who wanted to see how the hell disney was going to execute this idea. then four more air bud movies were made over the next six years .
so to recap, the u. s. becomes champion in a way - too - early women’s world cup by having air bud save the day, which feels a bit like cheating. but i came to see a dog play soccer, and i think i got what i paid for, which is whatever netflix pays disney each time i stream air bud: world pup .

it would have been enough for seventh inning fetch to end with air bud and andrea winning the state championship game. but no, they had to go further and take him to the world series .
. he plays a different sport in each film (basketball, football, soccer, baseball and volleyball, respectively). in air bud: world pup, he becomes the father of five puppies :
of the first five films in the air bud series, this is the only one where buddy is not dognapped by the villains, and instead helps josh, emma, tammy and andrea rescue his offspring .
volleyball is an ideal sport for a dog. dogs run fast, are great at switching directions, and love hitting balls in the air. i could see a dog being excellent at sprinting across a court to dig shots before they touch the ground. every part of air bud playing volleyball is plausible .
i’m pretty sure dogs aren’t supposed to hit balls that well with their mouths, but just like it says on the town sign that pops up at the start of every air bud movie, everything is possible .
the movie air bud turns 17 years old today (that' s 119 in dog years), so to celebrate, let' s take a look at what the cast has been up to since 1997 .
buddy helps josh’s junior high team to the championship game, but josh wins it on his own after buddy gets taken out. air bud is an unnaturally smart dog in this movie, but he’s still a dog .
i have no nostalgia for air bud. the idea to watch it never crossed my mind when i was 7 years old. it was a cultural blind spot that i shared with my colleague charlotte wilder, who also watched it for the first time this year. but with the 20th anniversary coming up, i decided to rectify my air bud - less life and watch all five movies, stopping short of watching the buddies spinoff series .
actually, the air bud movies have contributed greatly to cinematic history. the utter genius of having a trained dog, of all things, star in his own movie is the most single - minded ingenuity since the concept for
we’re running low on professional sports with significant followings at this point, but rather than move the family to canada—which would have been fine, given that vancouver has been standing in for washington state this whole time—and introducing buddy to the world of hockey, the series chose beach volleyball for the fifth and last of the “classic” air bud movies, air bud: spikes back (2003). josh doesn’t appear at all in this one, which revolves around andrea’s (katija pevec) attempts to raise money to go visit tammy after she moves to the other center of the air bud universe, san diego. (whenever someone leaves fernfield, they’re always san diego - bound. )
sure, that works. never mind the fact that you’d normally have to be a student with good academic standing to participate in your school’s athletics. but who has time for nuance? let’s see air bud do his thing .

a ir bud was released in theaters 20 years ago tuesday. in commemoration of this momentous cinematic event, we set out to interview some of the stars who made the movie a beloved family classic — but then we realized that nobody cared about the human actors involved. we liked air bud because of the dog who played basketball. so we set out to interview air bud — real name buddy the wonder dog, an actual basket - scoring golden retriever. (buddy’s other acting credit came in an episode of full house in which comet was portrayed as having basketball abilities. )

air bud
is a movie about a basketball - playing golden retriever, and, in that respect, it' s not unlike ingmar bergman' s brooding 1957 classic
the seventh seal .
while the draw of an & apos; air bud & apos; film has always been the uniquely talented animal, the original movie did also have an interesting cast of humans. see what they are up to these days below .
the two main basketball strategies air bud employs are (1) chasing after a ball and (2) standing near his owner until his owner throws him the ball. to be honest, that’s an accurate depiction of how a dog would react if placed on a court during a game. there is no enhancement of buddy’s dog talents, nor any false presumption that he understands basketball’s rules. air bud doesn’t pretend buddy is the greatest basketball player of his era. he just helps some kids win one basketball game. (i must debunk the many viral tweets about the kid who got benched for air bud: buddy does not check into the game until injuries leave josh’s team with just four players. )
but golden receiver isn’t the least realistic air bud film. in fact, it contains a sense of gritty realism. it acknowledges the uncomfortable fact that if a teenager in full pads tackled a dog, that dog would get seriously injured :
all we saw was air bud catch a ball in his mouth and get the final out, and apparently that was enough to earn mvp. we didn’t see him at bat, although thanks to the scoreboard, we can assume he didn’t help much there. all we’re left with is imagining what else he did at first base to earn that honor, and maybe that’s for the best. part of me believes this ending was all a dream sequence in air bud’s head .
& apos; air bud & apos; told the tale of buddy, a canine with mad basketball skills. the film was a hit for disney in 1997 and a theatrical sequel, in which buddy takes up football, soon followed .

00: 01: 05: holy shit. they replaced patrick - - the vet boyfriend - - with the dad from pet sematary. i like where this is going. no wonder air bud looks haggard. he' s a fucking zombie !
00: 05: 15: air bud got drunk at the reception and now he' s trying to get up on the little sister. josh is dancing with a fat middle aged aunt - like figure. this round goes to the sister .
00: 06: 30: every time bud and his bitch get together they get cockblocked by the goddamn dogcatcher. villain indeed .
zegers, now 31, made us fall in love with the little boy who desperately needed a friend. his character battled a crazy, abusive clown / dog owner as well as an abusive gym coach. come to think of it, there was a lot of low - key abuse in that movie. but anyway, zegers reprised his role of josh in several of the franchise' s sequels, including ,

00: 23: 40: the scumplumbers are heisting. i' m wondering how they expect to train a strange dog to grab a jewel. maybe they' ll tell him it' s a shuttlecock and this is air bud: barkminton madness !
01: 09: 07: buddy crawling through the air vents. i wonder if he feels like a tv dinner .
wizz air has an order with airbus for 110 new technology a321neo aircraft with advanced systems and engines that will further reduce wizz air’s industry leading cost base as well as the company’s carbon footprint. all new deliveries are fitted with sharklet wingtip devices .
or maybe buddy was just juicing. honestly, that’s the best explanation for how buddy went from a contributing player on a middle school basketball team in rural washington to the best player on the best baseball team in the world. air bud probably did steroids .
then: fletcher was 15 when he made his film debut as larry willingham in & apos; air bud. & apos; he already had a tv presence as a recurring character on the canadian crime drama & apos; the adventures of shirley holmes. & apos ;
00: 00: 12 – the first post 9 / 11 air bud opens with a harrowing scene in which buddy, dressed as a firedog, heroically drags injured civilians from the burning rubble of the world trade center. just kidding, it’s more of the same .
in this spin - off of the air bud franchise, five pups follow an ice cream transport truck to a plane and end up flying with the ice cream shipment to alaska. there they find a pup friend and a boy who needs five dogs for a big race .
when dad buddy and mom molly are dognapped, their five adorable pups, the air buddies, must save the day ...

the air bud movies epitomize the concept that movies for children can be lazy in concept and lazier in execution, because kids don’t care as long as there’s something cute to look at on screen. there’s nothing offensive in them in terms of swearing or innuendo, and the violence remains solidly in the realm of slapstick. (air bud is rated pg, presumably for beer cans, but the rest are all rated g .) but they’re all so obnoxiously formulaic and syrupy that ranking them is a difficult task, because they all run together into one colorful blur of stupid pet tricks and stupider puns. and when you’re that shameless, why not keep making them? what we’re trying to say is: call us, robert vince. we’ve got a great idea for a sixth movie where air bud meets a streetwise pit bull in the boxing ring .
00: 49: 00: the conference has decided to disqualify your team. because you have a dog. and air bud. but why? that doesn' t make any sense! how dare they use logic to thwart us! it' s unfair, i tells ya .
there' s an air of acceptance throughout the film, but the movie never stops to stand at a pulpit and preach this message .
in this clip, the air buddies are being chased, but find safety on the farm with billy the goat and belinda the pig .
the plan to launch wizz air was conceived in june 2003 when six people with a wide range of airline expertise and successful track records teamed up with józsef váradi, the company’s chief executive officer. in just three months, wizz air was a registered company ready to fly .
the air buddies films focus on buddy' s puppies, and they were all direct - to - dvd / blu - ray releases .
this transformation from small - town novelty act to multisport legend is remarkable. it also begs some questions. so to celebrate one of the most accomplished pups ever to grace the big screen, we watched all five * air bud movies and ranked them in order of plausibility, from most to least .
most of these scenarios are minor, and they step to the side to make way for air bud, but they’re some of my favorite parts of the franchise because they’re sincere. they make you feel for the characters and root for them, even when you know that everything will turn out ok .
then: in & apos; air bud, & apos; makken played framm’s mom jackie. she was familiar to movie audiences thanks to her role as sister mary robert in & apos; sister act & apos; and & apos; sister act 2: back in the habit. & apos ;
even if we presuppose that buddy understands the intricacies of baseball, though, seventh inning fetch would still be the least plausible air bud film by several miles. baseball would be one of the hardest sports for a dog to play, and yet it is the sport in which buddy achieves his greatest success .
00: 00: 35: air bud' s been replaced! do they do doggie botox? or do they just let them eat dented cans of spoiled peaches? i hear that' s how they killed the presidents of the united states of america. the band, not the obama, because we probably would have heard about that. his album didn' t do as well as thriller, but still. bud looks like a fucking irish setter. fucking gingers .
00: 06: 37 – one possible explanation for the subtle narrative variation throughout the air bud franchise is that the clown put buddy in a coma at the start of the first movie, and everything that happens subsequently is merely a projection of an elaborate dream loop. that, or it’s just lazy screenwriting .
compared to some of their more crass kids’ movie counterparts, the air bud movies are relatively digestible. they’re not trying to sell anything—save for their own interminable sequels and spin - offs, which have now grown to include the air buddies series, the santa paws series, the pup star series, the mvp: most valuable primate series, and a smattering of ape - and / or dog - related movies unrelated to the rest of the air bud franchise. (we’re sticking with the original five for our purposes .) they encourage kids to go outside and play sports, which is nice, if shame - inducing if one happens to be a full - grown adult sitting inside and watching these movies in air - conditioned comfort all day. and animals doing people things, as five minutes on youtube will prove abundantly and repeatedly, is never not adorable. even if the dog can be a real pain in the ass .
01: 26: 40 – in spite of obvious budget cuts and a complete absence of nuance, spikes back is something of a return to form for the air bud series. that said, it’s not a patch on the original, though in all honesty everything beyond that blurred into a seemingly endless aversion therapy session .
01: 09: 04: the close up pathos of air buddy. that' s going on the memorial screen at the oscars when he dies .

00: 01: 42: this little cockknob is making the dog run a westminster - style obstacle course. this is air bud, you little shitsquirt. he kicks babies like you for field goals. he eats lightning and craps thunder. he should belong to chuck norris. he' s wasted on you. wasted !
then: zegers is familiar to & apos; air bud & apos; fans as josh framm, the 12 - year - old who finds buddy. the canadian actor got his start as a seven - year - old playing little mikey in the michael j. fox comedy & apos; life with mikey. & apos ;
the golden retriever, who played
air bud
was a stray turned prolific canine actor, who was also named buddy in real life. buddy' s trainer kevin di cicco taught him how to play several sports, even instilling in him the ability to dunk a ball; a skill which not only scored buddy the title role in the 1997 family film
air bud
and two of its sequels, but several appearances on both
america' s funniest home videos
and david letterman' s
stupid pet tricks .
most notably, though, buddy also played the role of comet on the tv sitcom ,
full house .
t’s now a full 20 years since walt disney pictures unleashed their sports - mad pooch protagonist on the world. to mark this cultural milestone, we decided to watch all five original air bud films back - to - back (nb: this excludes the seven air buddies sequels, which focus on the exploits of buddy’s puppies, as well as the santa paws christmas spin - offs .) what follows is a deep analysis of said series, with a definitive ranking at the end .
movies with two more in the works! and by the end of this year, two air buddies movies will have been released in the same year! and listen to the name of the newest air buddies movie. fairy buddies: puppy magic. that' s probably the stupidest name for a movie ever .
air bud has it all: a fluffy golden retriever, a basketball final game, a car chase, and mean but comically non - threatening villains. you can see why it spawned a series of videos, and your little one may want to see them all. be aware that none of the successors is nearly as good .
the search for santa paws is a spin - off of the air buddies series and a prequel to santa buddies. the buddies are not in these movies .
then: you may remember bill cobb from & apos; air bud, & apos; in which he played the janitor - turned - basketball - coach who recognizes buddy’s b - ball talent. an actor since the mid - 70s, cobbs also co - starred on & apos; the gregory hines show & apos; during that period .

there were some obstacles. the real buddy whose basketball antics had wowed audiences passed away in february 1998. his owner kevin dicicco, who had received credit for creating the character but not the percentage of profits he was promised, began prepping a lawsuit against keystone. and yet, the cameras began rolling in the spring and air bud: golden receiver
the franchise has a lot of corny, ridiculous things that deserve to be made fun of: villains who contribute to excruciatingly formulaic plots; the soundtrack, which can range from romantically cheesy to “wait, this is totally a knockoff of john fogerty’s ‘centerfield’ ”; the ridiculous sports scenes involving air bud, like his aforementioned batting practice, and this block from spikes back .
after the
air bud
films, zegers starred in several films, including
transamerica ,
gardens of the night
and
the mortal instruments: city of bones .
he also had a recurring role on
gossip girl ,
playing prince - to - be damian daalgard. more recently, zegers played owen on the fox mini - series
gracepoint .
these movies are not great, but i believe, after every silly thing i learned, that they’re worth checking out, even just to see how ludicrous they can be and imagine what it took to make them. if you ever find yourself on netflix or amazon, a mere click away from watching one air bud movie, now you know what to expect. maybe you’ll end up liking it too .
00: 28: 13: i said out loud ,
i swear i' ve seen bird' s nest in something before .
my girlfriend says ,
your butt .
and that' s why i' m marrying her. does this count as a romantic proposal? in the middle of an angry air bud review? i guess i could threaten to push her off a cliff .
01: 13: 28 – despite being a family film, seventh inning fetch features prominent advertising for bud light, who at this point have all but missed the opportunity to cash - in on the franchise’s popularity .
fairy buddies: puppy magic? wow, some people at disney must be running low on ideas if the have to combine air bud with something like tinkerbell. hope that isn' t the case though. i hope it' s the last one too. too many sequals for those puppies and disney is going to start looking foolish again, like when they kept making direct to video sequals to their classics .
i guess it was a pretty good movie, though i got a little bored halfway through and took a little snooze. i like air conditioning. there was lots of popcorn on the floor .
it’s not as terrible of an idea as letting a dog play full - contact football, though, which is the premise of the sequel, air bud: golden receiver (1998). although it was released only a year after the first movie—and was the last in the series to receive a theatrical release outside of the philippines— golden retriever moves forward in dog years, picking up as former pathetic twerp josh enters his last year of junior high as a basketball star. if air bud was about a young boy learning to live again after profound loss through the medium of a basketball - playing dog, then golden receiver is about that same boy finally getting closure for his father’s death and allowing a new father figure in his life through the medium of a football - playing dog. oh, and funny cartoon villains with giant nets .
this movie is in line with the first air bud. not many sequels of this nature are tolerable let alone enjoyable. air bud: golden receiver is a movie that your whole family can enjoy. the movie centers around josh framm coming to terms with his mom' s return to dating. josh has to get used to the new man in his mom' s life and a new sport for him and buddy, football. most people can relate to that being a difficult adjustment no matter how nice the man is. in this case it' s the lovable patrick sullivan, dvm. the low point of this movie are the lampoonish villians natalya and popen. they try miserably to add slapstick comedy to this otherwise endearing film. a very notable scene is between josh framm and coach fanelli. the parts of patrick sullivan and coach fanelli were wonderfully casted .

this movie came out in december 2000, a year and a half after the u. s. won the women’s world cup. the date is important *, because four months after buddy’s team wins the state championship, there’s another women’s world cup. in the air bud cinematic universe, the “every four years” world cup time frame doesn’t exist. you could argue that the filmmakers took artistic license, but this seems a bit much .
buddy’s journey has humble beginnings. he plays a few minutes of one game against middle schoolers. all told, the dog - basketball in air bud is roughly within the realm of dog - basketball possibility. it’s acknowledged that buddy can’t dribble — “but he drools, ” says the team’s coach — or hold onto the ball. his method of scoring is having his owner lightly toss the ball in his direction so he can boop it hoopward :

anyway, at the 2001 women’s world cup final, the united states and norway have gone on to a penalty shootout to decide the champion. briana scurry — who, in real life, made a crucial save for the u. s. in the 1999 final’s shootout — gets injured, leaving everyone worried until the camera pans over to air bud, who substitutes for scurry and clinches the match for the u. s. with his own save .
ugh. i had the pain of enduring one of the recent outings 2 years ago, in my wv history class. i swear, that teacher is out of it. he showed us the one where the air bud puppies go to some arctic region, i don' t remember much of it. thankfully, movies like this generally just have around 2 weeks of commercials for the movie, so it' s easy to ignore them. sometimes .
are there ever movies you just hate the idea of going to see?'' yes, i say, there are - - but sometimes i' m surprised. it happened again the other night. i dragged myself down to a multiplex to attend a sneak preview of a movie named

turned the big 1 - 8 this year. whaaat? ! if the movie were a person, it' d be able to vote, drink (if it lived in the uk) and buy a lottery ticket. but wait a minute — that means it' s been 18 years since cutie josh framm, aka kevin zegers, first introduced us to the golden retriever who can play sports better than most humans .
ups the ante with a copper - colored whistle emblazoned
air bud .
this is no mere dog whistle, either, but a people whistle that you and i can enjoy too. heck, blow loudly enough and i bet even those with reduced auditory skills might pick something up. i discovered that cats especially notice and enjoy this inclusion, which comes protected in plastic and woven through a hole - punched print of the unbordered and un - buddified cover artwork .
fairy buddies: puppy magic? give me a bowl, i need to hurl. wow, that' s pretty much the most terrible thing i' ve ever heard of (well, besides a sequel to a video binquedo movie or something) yeah, they' re totally milking this thing for every penny they can, it' s kind of sickening. the first air bud was a good movie, the second one was okay, but this is getting retarded .
now: solberg is probably best known for his recurring role in the syfy channel series & apos; eureka. & apos; in 2012 he popped up in the canadian tv series & apos; arctic air. & apos ;

00: 00: 00: the final title once more comes from genny, who' s probably not even near a computer to appreciate the commitment she' s fulfilled. the air bud project was requested by marra alane, who to achieve this request had to review the miley cyrus biography. a sacrifice so noble is worth a few days of my time. and this series got so bad, disney dropped it like a hot rock. the weinsteins had to distribute it through dimension .
air bud
is a kids' movie from the git - go. the younger the better - - it seems to me they' ll enjoy the slapstick and the cute canine. do not confuse buddy the basketball - playing dog with buddy, the deviled egg - serving gorilla from the recent renee russo vehicle. if that' s the kind of demeaning thing you' re looking for, just take it on the arches. you disgust me. rated pg. 97 minutes .
that trick got dicicco and buddy a spot on america’s funniest home videos, multiple bookings on david letterman’s “stupid pet tricks, ” and an episode of full house where buddy served as stunt dog for a scene where comet makes uncle jesse look like a real dumbass on the basketball court. then, in 1991, dicicco brought the idea for a movie starring his talented dog to producer robert vince, whom dicicco would threaten to sue after air bud finally made it to theaters six years later .
the movie doesn’t show us much of air bud’s world series performance; we just see him recording the final out of the decisive game, putting the finishing touch on a 6–4–3 double play. so we’re left to imagine what happened that made this dog — who, again, can’t look at a pitch and swing at the same time — into the greatest player in baseball. maybe buddy walked during every one of his plate appearances because nobody was capable of throwing pitches inside his 5 - inch strike zone ?

diffident in the wake of his father' s death, high schooler josh (kevin zegers) struggles to adapt to his new home in washington state. that all changes, however, when he signs up to be the school basketball team' s manager and discovers that his pet dog bud, a stray golden retriever he took in, can play the sport amazingly well. after bud joins the team, josh' s life brightens considerably, until the dog' s former owner norm snively (michael jeter) returns in hopes of reclaiming the pooch .
00: 08: 42: i think lots of cat burglars prefer the method of throwing a tantrum and falling on the floor. who designs a security system that can be thwarted by an air conditioning duct? architects need to watch more die hard .
unfortunately, buddy is dead. he died shortly after air bud came out. dogs usually do not live for 20 years, so the 20th anniversary of any dog - related movie tends to be somewhat depressing. (for some reason, no website was willing to publish my 2016 listicle “all 101 dalmatians are probably dead now. ”) yet an anniversary is an anniversary, and rules are rules: the time has come to assess buddy’s legacy — not just as a dog actor, but as one of the greatest athletes of all time .
wizz air is a value - oriented airline focusing on innovation all along the way of the customer journey. our aim is to make flying affordable for the citizens of the cee, as well as to provide a new travel experience to all travelers in the eu .
00: 04: 56: i love how in every air bud film they feel the need to explain to josh or andrea ,
hey, look! it' s buddy !
i would pay cash money to get the movie a pg rating just so once, andrea can slap the shit out of the skeksis and shout ,
no shit! it' s my dog, you dumb bitch. i' m glad you' re moving. get the hell out of here. we' re not lesbians anymore! i undykeclare myself from you !
it seems to me that one look at the poster (in which bud, wearing a basketball uniform, is shown knocking the bottom out of one) would eliminate the chance of fence - straddlers. you can safely assume that no one associated with this movie is thinking oscar party, in other words .

in air bud spikes back, golden retriever buddy is now in the care of andrea framm (katija pevec), who discovers that buddy is a talented volleyball player. buddy becomes a key player on andrea' s team, and they make it into the local championship tournament. but trouble brews when a pair of incompetent thieves set their sights on an enormous diamond on display at the local museum and grandma framm' s parrot is kidnapped. buddy is accused of the crimes, and he must find the real culprits and avoid being captured by authorities in time to play in the big game .
the latest technology is deployed to ensure that the wizz air experience is outstanding both in terms of service and value for money. we offer a simple service model: ticketless travel, cost and time efficient secondary airports, single class all - leather seat configuration and catering on demand for an additional cost .
11. why didn’t the norwegian player just kick the ball more than 4 feet in the air? she didn’t even have to kick it hard! just put the ball high! buddy is vertically limited! i cannot stress enough how easy it should be for a world - class player to successfully score against a dog .

parents need to know that air bud, though mostly lighthearted, does show a child dealing with his father' s death. it also depicts abuse - - both animal abuse and the physical abuse of a boy by his coach - - although it makes it clear that both are wrong, and both perpetrators are punished. there' s a little bit of drinking, as well as language along the lines of
sucks
and
hell .
but the value of teamwork is stressed, as is the responsibility and care required to take care of a dog. that said, if you don' t have a dog already, be prepared for your kids to want one .
the idea that the series had run its creative course is similarly laughable, given that all five movies follow the same plot structure down to the pro - athlete cameo at the end. and if beach volleyball was good enough for air bud, why not lacrosse? or rugby? or ultimate frisbee? that would be perfect for a dog. spikes back even sets up a new generation of framm family adventures in the character of youngest sibling noah, who claims his birthright of vicarious sporting glory by entering buddy in an obstacle - course race at the county fair in the last movie. (seems kind of unfair to pit a world cup and world series - winning dog against amateurs, but okay. )
