Jan 17 2006Air Bud Pushes The Envelope
A new Air Bud movie is in the works, and you will not believe where he's going now: Australia! To play rugby! As much as I loved the Air Bud series to this point, I think I've got to draw the line here.
Air Bud told us the amazing story of a dog (Air Bud) playing basketball, but it made it believable. I mean, his name was Air Bud. It was implied he would be good at basketball, or flying, or something like that. Air Bud: Golden Receiver expanded the concept to allow the dog (Air Bud) to play football as well. Feasible? Hardly. But audiences were begging for it and we loved it. Air Bud 3 and 4 (World Pup and Seventh Inning Fetch) seem a bit outlandish, allowing a dog (Bud) to play soccer and baseball, but if Air Bud didn't do it, who would? There is no dog better suited to play sports, case closed. My problem just lies in the fact that Air Bud: Spikes Back was such a perfect finale to the series. Volleyball seemed like the place to end this one, but if Air Bud Productions, makers of the Air Bud series, tell me he needs to play rugby as well, then goddammit let's do it.
Wait, I just read that a kangaroo is also involved! Forget everything I just said. This sounds hysterical!

Are you sure that he will be playing rugby and not Australian Rules football (which is sometimes referred to as just "Aussie Rules"), that was my first thought when I saw the poster, but maybe that would make too much sense ...
