Oh, Air Bud, if only you knew what you wrought. When opening my review copy of The Princess and the Frog, I found that Disney is releasing another Air Bud spinoff puppy movie: The Search for Santa Paws.

The original movie, as I recall, wasn't so bad. In it, a Golden Retriever played basketball. In the followup, Air Bud: Golden Receiver, he played football. In the weeks-ago released Special Edition of the movie, you can watch with color commentary by the "Buddies" from the recent trilogy of kids' movies. They're the gang of adorable little Retriever pups that represent why so many families are now getting those dogs because they saw them in a movie, not knowing how freaking huge they're gonna get.
