The children and young ones will definitely like "Super Buddies", that much is guaranteed.I sat down to watch "Super Buddies" together with my 6 year old son, whom enjoyed the movie quite a lot, and he was especially smitten with the puppy superheroes. And as an adult, I must say that the movie actually turned out to be fun enough to watch. Sure, you take into consideration that this is a kids movie, but it is still entertaining.The story told in "Super Buddies" about five puppies that accidentally become superheroes and must work together to stop a shape-shifting bully from outer space.Sure, this was as campy and corny as it gets, but again do take into consideration that this is a children's movie. And trust me, the story will sink right in with the kids. I can testify to that, because my son was thoroughly amused throughout the course of the movie, and he was often rooting for the puppies at the screen.The puppies had been trained well, because they performed quite adequately on the screen and it was a joy to watch them mill about doing their cute acts."Super Buddies" is actually a wholesome family movie that is well-worth taking the time to sit down and watch. We happened to enjoy it, and I am going to rate it a solid 6 out of 10 stars.

Air Bud was a really good movie. I still like to watch it today. Why Disney executives had to make air bud and his children overstay their visit, I don't know. The movies just seemed to get worse and worse. And the series really does show, recycling constant jokes that we've heard in the other movies. Not to mention, in this movie, its execution as a superhero movie has been done so many times beforehand that it's not even that big of a deal anymore. The clichés are so obvious, and you could see them coming from a mile away. I think that even kids know that this movie franchise has way more movies than it should. And should another installment be released, expect me to return until these movies stop being made.

I randomly came across this movie. My son (3 years) loves super heroes and dogs, so I thought he would love it. I was right, he loves it. He says it's the best movie ever! I think the acting is pretty awful and I can't stand the dog that talks like what an adult thought early kids in the nineties sounded like. This must be what John Ratzenberger does with his time, when he's not doing voices for PIXAR. Go ahead and watch it with your kids, if they're young and enjoy movies about dogs. However, remember that the acting is about as good as you average student film.

Watched this movie with kids aged 5yrs and 9yrs and they both loved it. If your kids are fans of other Buddies movies definitely check this one out. Nice to have a Superhero movie aimed more for the little one's (no heavy violence, adult themes etc). It is very kid friendly and funny.Interesting story about a comic book and Aliens from another planet along with the regular Buddies and their kid owners. My kids loved to see the other talking animal characters too. (And for the adults, it was nice to see John Ratzenberger again, and the voice of Colin Hanks was a nice surprise!)Also has a great message for kids about working as a team. Highly recommend it!
