    Let's face it, you can't go wrong with puppies.

    Man I tried. I usually like Disney Movies, especially animal movies...but I just couldn't get into this one. I really tried. Maybe the story was weak, maybe the cast wasn't convincing enough, I don't know. This is really great for kids though, not for me though.

    Now this is more like it. It's more on the adventure. And more on the cold. I love everything cold.

    Back to the movie.

    This is a hundred per cent better than Air Buddies. I mean, this is more fun! I'm not a kid films person, but hey, I have to admit. I loved it.

    People who care about animals should not rent or purchase Snow Buddies. At least 25 puppy "actors" were removed from the set during filming when many of them fell ill. According to veterinarians, the puppies suffered serious health problems, including "heavy intestinal parasite loads." Three of them had to be euthanized after suffering from the highly contagious parvovirus.

    These weeks-old puppies were taken from their nursing mothers to be used like disposable props. The producers of this movie exploited these babies specifically to target the lucrative children's movie audience. Kids love puppies, but animals should not suffer and die so that studios can sell DVDs.
