| My husband and I bought this for my little 3yr old cousin for Christmas!! I was a little hesitant at first, after reading some of the reviews, but I'm extremely happy that I went ahead and bought it anyways! My cousin loved it very much, and saw it a bunch of times already!! Would definitely recommend it for kids!;) |
Cute but just so so

Granddaughter who is 5 was mildly interested and the adults were less than engaged. I thought that since this was a dog focused movie granddaughter who is puppy and horse crazy would love it. She was only mildly interested.
This story ebbs and flows as does the acting. The most consistent acting comes from Christopher Lloyd who plays the dog catcher.
I do like that this package has both at blu-ray and standard DVD disks.

My 4 year old daughter began asking for this movie as soon as she saw the commercials running the months before Christmas. This was our first 'Buddies' movie ever and though my daughter claims she really likes it, neither he nor my 2 yr old son has asked to watch it in over 2 months. This might be because it's a Christmas movie and it's now February but I think it has more to do with the fact that the movie just isn't very engaging.
To me the story line seems like one big generic Christmas themed mess with a really pathetic appearance from Christopher Lloyd (as a mean, Christmas-hating dog catcher who later has a change of heart...of course). It didn't keep my kids' attention at all. There just wasn't any kind of cute 'spark' to it - just mostly a bunch of puppies running around and getting into mischief. |
My daughter love's the character puppies!

My daughter loves this gift! It really caught her off-guard, in a good way, as she has never seen anything like it for sale in the stores around here. That made my 7 year-old daughter really believe that it came from the elves at the North Pole. She loves to play each of the puppy characters during story time and play time, and takes them with her, often (she has her own toy puppy carrier she uses instead of the clear bag that came with this set).
The movie was good for my kids who are ages 4 and 7. It's not really made for grown-ups, and you can tell when watching it. But, my daughter has seen all the Buddies movies, and loves them. She places Santa Buddies second on her favorite buddies movie list, right behind the original Air Buddies. She puts Space Buddies at the bottom of that list, but it's still on the list, at least. |
An example of Disney's worst and most offensive

There are many reviews giving this movie a high rating just because "the kids "liked it."
It is irresponsible as a parent to believe that just because a child "likes" a movie (s)he should be allowed to watch it. The blatantly stereotypical blights that children will learn from this movie are not something any responsible or socially aware parent would want to promote, and definitely not the values I want my children to embrace! Stop for a moment and consider what your children are really LEARNING, not just how much they may be laughing, before you decide if it makes sense to financially support this movie and risk encouraging like content from Disney in the future. If you really feel the need to see puppies on-screen on a seasonal basis, best case scenario is to rent it from the local video store once a year, but even exposing children to these offensive stereotypes once a year is something those who consider themselves socially responsible members of enlightened society will choose to forego.
If you liked the offensive content of Transformers 2, you'll probably love this movie, too. They're both chock full of negative references and stereotypes of non-anglo ethnicities. |
