Air Buddies (2006)

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Welcome to Fernfield,

where we like to say
everything is possible.

I've been the deputy
of this here town

since way back when,

but never have I seen
an adventure

quite like the one
I'm about to tell you.

As you probably already know,

Fernfield is home to
the world-famous Air Bud,

a true sports legend

whose first love
had always been the game.

But that all changed
the day Molly,

a brown-eyed gal
with golden locks,

moved in across the street

and Buddy fell
head over tail for her.

Gosh, it was enough to make
my old heart skip a beat.

It wasn't long before we heard

the pitter-patter
of little paws.

Buddy and Molly were blessed
with five adorable puppies,

known around these parts
as the Buddies.

Let's see. You got
the big fella, Budderball.

You just can't seem
to fill this pup up.

Honey, I can't find
a matching shoe.

[whimper]

B-Dawg is a B-balling homedoggie

who the kids say is
all about the bling-bling.

Buddha is one of them
Zen puppies,

you know, always meditating
and doing that yoga stuff.

[man on TV]
Exhale. Downward Dog.

[whimpers]

Mudbud, well,
his name says it all.

He'd take mud
over a Milk-Bone any day.

[groans]

[sighs]

And last,
but not least, Rosebud.

Don't let her
pretty looks fool you.

She's as feisty as her brothers.

These little Buddies
were growing up fast.

Buddies?

And becoming a handful,
enough to tire out a young'un,

- let alone an old
geezer like myself.
- [blows note on harmonica]

[clears throat]
Hey, I'm down here.
I'm Deputy Sniffer.

This here is Sheriff Bob.

Now, there comes a time
in every pup's life

when he must say goodbye
to the home he once knew

and say hello to a new one,

and that's where
our story begins.

Noah! Come on!
We've gotta go now!

[man] We're gonna be late
for the game.

Coming!

You go downstairs.
I'll be right there.

- [whimpers]
- [doorbell rings]

Oh, good. The sitter's here.

I prefer the professional
distinction of "nanny,"

if you don't mind.

[nanny] Hello, Buddy.

Hi, Mrs. Niggles.

I'm serious.
You guys need to chill.

- [dog whines]
- I'll be back soon, OK?

[yapping]

Sorry. I had to say goodbye.

I think they're bummed
that they can't come.

Oh. Well, go say hi.

Hi, Mrs. Niggles.

I worked all day
on this little piece
of perfection.

Blueberry pie, just for
my favorite little boy.

Did somebody just say,
"Blueberry pie"?

Budderball,
put a muzzle on it.
They'll hear us.

Dudes, if we wanna go
to the game, we're gonna
have to get by Niggles.

Words of wisdom, Mudbud.

This game's gonna be
off-the-chain insane.

- Where are
the little darlings?
- They're in their room.

- Time to go.
- Bye, Buddies!

[Niggles] Have fun.

Come on, guys. Follow me.

[barking]

- [Buddies whine]
- [Niggles clears throat]

Where might you think
you're going?

Oh! I know what you
little Buddies want.

Bath time it is.

- [Mom] Hi, Wilma, Bob.
- [Wilma] Hi, guys.

[Bob] You guys ready
for the game?

[man] Let's get
this show on the road.

My main man. Hey.

How are the Buddies doing?

They're with Mrs. Niggles,
having the time of their life.

That's what they thought
when Miss Niggles baby-sat us
when we were little.

- She always
made us take naps.
- Don't forget baths.

What was it she used to say?

Cleanliness
is next to godliness.

[whimpers]

[hums]

One, two, three, four.

Somebody's missing.

[whimpers]

Oh.

Come here, you mucky pup.

[sighs]

[whimpers]

In you pop.

Ooh.

- [growling]
- Oh, bath time
is so much fun.

Rub-a-dub-dub,
five pups in a tub.

Have a nice nap.

Now, you behave.
I'll be back in an hour.

Nobody tells B-Dawg
he's gotta take a nap.

[Budderball] Careful.
Gotta make sure
she doesn't see us.

Hey, look. She's got a ball.

If the Buddies
can't go to the game,

the game will come
to the Buddies.

Shh. Mrs. Niggles is
finding her inner peace.

She's falling asleep.

I don't know
about inner piece,
I want a piece of pie.

[snores]

She's going.

- [dog 2] Going.
- Going.

- [dog 4] Going.
- [dog 5] Going.

And she's gone.

- I'm going in.
- Yeah. Let's do it.

[barking]

[growling]

Superstar Rosebud
has stolen the ball.

[crowd cheering]

[groans]

Goooooal!

B-Dawg shoots.

Oh. Nothing but net.

If Mudbud gets this point,

the Beach Volleyball
World Championship is his.

Be one with the ball.

[crowd cheering]

Budderball wins the Super Bowl,

and now for a little
postgame celebration.

[groans]

[straining]

Check it out.
Budderball's
going for the pie.

You can do it, Budderball.

You can do it.

[Budderball] Come on.

[B-Dawg] Yo, way to go.

- Touchdown! Hoo hoo hoo!
- [crowd cheers]

Budderball,
have I told you lately
you're my main pup?

Oh!

[barking]

Oh, my goodness!

Oh!

Uh-oh. We woke up Mrs. Niggles.

No worries, dudes. She's stuck.

Ooh, you rascals
are in big trouble!

[groans] Help!

Help!

Oh, my beautiful pie!

How could you?

[Mom] I hope the puppies
are behaving. They're
getting to be a handful.

- [groans] So stuffed.
- [car horn]

- [Niggles]
Your parents are home.
- Uh-oh.

[Niggles]
You're in big trouble now.

[man] Here we go.

[whimpers]

- Come on. Everybody out.
- Whoo! Good job.

Uh, 'rents incoming!

We are so getting
a yellow card
for this one.

Dudes, time to skedaddle.

[Niggles] Where are you going?

- What's for dessert?
- [Niggles] Time
to face the music!

Help! Help!

- Oh, my gosh.
- I'm all tied up here!

[gasps]

[grunting]

- [screams]
- [Mom] Not the palm!

[clatter]

Clumsy.

[whimper]

I think it might be time.

[whimper]

You know, we've...
we always knew
this day would come.

Doesn't make it any easier, huh?

Are we really
getting rid of them, Dad?

We're not getting rid of them.
Did we get rid
of Josh and Andrea?

No. They went to college.

Exactly.

They went away so that
they could learn,

so they could grow.

This time is always
hard for puppies.

It was hard for me
when I was your age.

If you stayed here forever,
you'd miss out on so much,

like taking care
of people of your own.

But I already got mad love
for my peeps right here.

OK, but you're gonna
have more peeps,

which means more
of that mad love, dear.

All right, good night.

Dad.

Yeah?

Can we choose
where the puppies go,

like Josh and Andrea
chose their colleges?

You betcha.

It's gonna be weird
not seeing them every day.

[sighs] I should probably
get home to Henry.

- Good night, pups.
- Sweet dreams, Molly.

Hey, Buddy.

I'm gonna miss them, too.

[bird squawks]

[man] How much would that cost?

$500. I don't want...

- [click]
- [doors creak]

See the final budget. Got it?

Mr. Livingstone,
it is a pleasure to see you.

[sighs]

Oh!

[laughing]

And you, too,
Mr. Bartleby. [chuckling]

Wait till you see
what I got you.

- [chuckles]
- [click]

[snarling]

Ah. Isn't she a beauty?

[roars]

What do you think, Bartleby?

What a great
birthday present, huh?

[chuckling]

[roaring]

But I wanted an animal
that I could play with,

that plays sports.
I want Air Bud.

He can play basketball,
football and soccer.

How much would that cost?

Oh. Well, there's one
and only one Air Bud.

The price would be very high.

I'll give you $500,000.
Just get the Air Bud

so my son
will be happy for once.

- You really think
we can get him?
- Bartleby.

[doors creak]

[roars]

Shall I prepare the tiger
for delivery, sir?

They don't want the tiger.

They want Air Bud.

The dog?

They want a domesticated mutt

over this exotic beauty?

So it seems.

Now get out there
and get that dog. Now!

And take my idiot nephew
with you.

[crack]

- Moi?
- Grim, sir?

[door creaks]

I'd love to,
but, uh, I'm swamped.

You know, video games to play,

a nap scheduled for, uh...

I'm optimistic you can
summon the brainpower

to pick up the poop.

- Well...
- Aah!

Get going.

[tiger snarls]

[door slams]

[yelp]

You'll get a lesson
in girl power.

Girl power, schmirl power.

If you'll excuse me
while I represent.

Wait for the whistle.

- [whistles]
- [barking]

[whimpers]

[pants]

[barks]

If I was any faster,
I'd get tomorrow's paper.

[growls]

[all] Puppy pile B-Dawg!

Hey, give me my paper.

Now, what did I teach
you pups about teamwork?

I know you're trying to
train them, but couldn't you
bring me the Sunday paper?

Sure are gonna miss 'em.

- [beep]
- That's time.

We'll contact you
for an interview

if you have
what the puppies
are looking for.

He's a math teacher,

and he loves doing
math equations for fun.

Oh.

[both whimper]

Well, these guys have
a son who's five...

[gasps]

And he loves baseball.
These guys look great.

[both bark]

[crowd shouting]

Strike two!

[woman] Try again.

[umpire] Strike three!
You're out.

[growls]

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa. Wait, buddy.

Chasing someone with a stick.
That's not baseball.
That's hockey.

Just think of the positive
influence you'd be
on that boy, Buddha.

No! Ow! Oh!

All right, well,

the father is an artist,

they have a four-year-old
daughter

and they love having picnics.

[shouting]

They're barbecuing
zucchini? Yuck!

Hey, man,
the veggie dogs are done!

Where's the beef?

Yay, finally.
I love veggie dogs.

We gotta keep looking.

Here's the Finches.

They have a little girl,
and she loves soccer.

[both] Mm-hmm.

[crowd cheering]

- [whistle blows]
- [cheering]

Gooooooal!

She's a bit of a showoff.

Well, Rosebud, she's
trying to prove herself.

It's hard when
you're the only girl.

Yes! Yes!

These guys have
an 11-year-old son.

His favorite activity
is playing video games.

[both] Hmm.

[kid] Hit it over the net.

[boy] Look out!

- [video game sounds]
- [kid] Yo, dude!

The dude's gotta loosen up.

He needs to learn that playing

and getting dirty
is a lot of fun.

[kid] Yo, pass the ball.

[kid #2] Got it.

Well, these guys look perfect.

They have two kids.
Parents are both dentists.

[gasps]

[grunts]

Go, go, go! sh**t it!

Yeah! Yeah!

[boy] Cover him.
Shorty, sh**t it.

Shorty, sh**t the ball.

- Ha! He's it.
- [laughing]

You gots to be in it to win it.

His coach should tell him that.

Maybe he'd be more
confident if he had a best
friend to help him out.

[Dad] Well, that's it, then.

It's unanimous, finally.

We'll call
the families tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

[whimpers]

[gasps]

Dudes, Mom saw me, so I had
to hightail it out of there.

What's the 4-1-1?

They finished drafting us
to different families.

I bet there was
a bidding w*r for me.

Did they consider
astrological compatibilities?

OK, we'll totally behave,

and then we'll look
super cute, and then, um...

Well, then...
then they'll
change their minds.

It's too late, dudes.

They're taking us
to our new homes tomorrow.

- [All] Tomorrow?
- But tomorrow
is taco night.

Fernfield, right on schedule.

- [panting]
- Aah!

Do you mind not violating
Highway Code 401?

Just wanna see why dogs like it.

You OK?

[grunts]

We found them all
really good families.

I know,

but do they have to go tomorrow?

It's not gonna get
any easier if we wait.

Try to get a good night's
sleep now, OK?

Letting go of the Buddies
is gonna be harder
than we thought.

[Molly] Do you think
they're ready?

I sure hope so.

They're taking it pretty hard.

[vehicle approaches]

This is the location.

What do we do now?

We wait.

We work surveillance
until an opportunity
to strike arises.

You're on first watch.

[sighs]

[snoring]

There he is. There he is!

You'd better not be dreaming.

I spy with my little eye
something that is furry.

[barks]

[barks]

There's two!

Which one's Air Bud?

They both resemble
the dog in the photo.

[Grim] Huh.

This is gonna be harder
than I thought.

[soft breathing]

You guys awake?

You dudes awake?!

- Huh?
- What?

We are now.

- Shush.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
- Is the paper here?

Dudes, I've been
thinking about it,

and I'm pretty sure
we have to run away.

Huh?

- Why?
- Huh?

Running away from our troubles
won't solve our problems.

But at least we'll all
be able to stay together.

That's an astute observation.

If you all agree, say, "Aye."

[all] Aye.

[barking]

[whimpers]

[Budderball] Help! Help!

- We're short a Budderball.
- [grunts]

[groans]

Come on. Come on.

- [all]
Don't pull at his paw!
- [groans]

- [passes gas]
- Oops.

Dog, that's disgusting.

[Rosebud] Ew.

Wee!

Whoa!

Whee! Whoo-hoo!

W... wait a minute.
We forgot to pack a lunch.

What's the holdup up there?

I'm gonna pounce on that butt
if you don't move it.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Come on.

[snoring]

[barking]

- [grumbles]
- The dogs!

[barking]

They've shrunk.

And multiplied?

Must've been Air Bud
and his missus before.

This must be their puppies.

Where the puppies lead,

Mommy and Dad
are sure to follow.

This way. Follow me, dogs.

Wait up!

[Grim] Maybe
we should get the pups
instead of the adults.

They sure are cuter.

That was not
the assignment, Grim,

but a good employee
does know
when to improvise,

and they will
serve well as bait.

[barking]

Oh, sweet mama.

[sniffing]

Mmm. Doughnuts.

[hunter] There he is.

Huh?

[Grim] He's going for it.

[hunter] Come to papa.

Let me at it.
Give me that doughnut.

[grunting]

Whoa.

Aw, let go. Let go!

Oh! Got him!

[yelping]

Wait. Did you guys
hear that?
Where's Budderball?

Dudes! The doughnut shop!

Maybe I should hang back
and, you know, keep it real,

- and...
- [hunter laughs]

I might need a pooper-scooper.

Guys, wait up.

[Budderball yelps]

[whistles]

[grunt]

[barks]

The pups, they're gone.

[Molly] I had a feeling
they weren't gonna react well.

[sniffing]

[Buddy] Budderball.

- [yelping]
- The pups, I hear them.

[barking]

[yelping]

Now we just let the puppies
do the work.

That's it. Call your mommy
and daddy. [chuckles]

- Mom, It's Grim. Hi.
- [on phone] Hi, Grim...

Not you. The puppies!

[Buddies] Mom! Dad!

Over here! Get me outta here!

Help us! Come on! Over here!

[Molly] I smell a trap.

I'm going in. Watch my back.

Mom! Dad!

Help!

[growling]

[Molly] Run, Buddies!
Run and hide!

[Buddies barking]

- Waah.
- [whimpers]

- Got him.
- [snarling]

Whoa! [groans]

And that's why
I'm your uncle's successor!

- [growls]
- Aah!

[pants tearing]

Aah! Toss the net!

Aah!

Not on me, doofus.

[groans] No.

- Shouldn't we
catch the puppies?
- What puppies?

The puppies that were just here.

Our mission was simple
and as follows:

Capture Air Bud.

Your uncle wanted one mutt.

- We got him two.
- [chuckles]

Those puppies did their job,
we did ours.

- Yes, we did.
- We gotta get back
to Innsfield.

Dudes, they've got Mom and Dad!

[whimpering]

[barks]

Let's get 'em!

- Mom! Dad! Wait, Mom!
- Stop!

Dad!

Mom! Dad!

Come back here!

- Wait!
- Stop!

[barks]

[Buddies barking]

[barks]

Ch-ching, ch-ching.

We've got Air Bud. [laughs]

[panting]

We got Mom and Dad dognapped.

I'll never eat
another doughnut
as long as I live.

We gotta save Mom and Dad.

How do we know
where they're going?

Deputy Sniffer. He can help.

He's the world's
greatest tracker.

[barking]

Noah.

- Hello.
- Molly didn't come home.

I think she must've fallen
asleep there last night.

OK. I'll go look around.

Buddy.

Budderball.

Rosebud.

B-Dawg!

Buddha!

Mudbud!

Mom! Dad!

[barking]

Wake up! Sniffer!

Come on! Wake up!

Rise and shine! Wake up!

You leave me no choice.

[snores]

[yelps]

W... wide awake.

J... just resting my head.

Sniffer, it's an emergency.

Five more... minutes.

Sheriff's coffee'll
do the trick.

[whimper]

[laps up coffee]

Hey, Buddies.

Funny, that. I was just
dreaming about you pups.

Mom, Dad, gone!

- Black truck with horns.
- Bad guys stole...

Whoa! Whoa! One at a time.
You're making my head spin.

You first, Budderrose.

They were dognapped by
two dognapping dognappers.

Where was
the crime scene, B-Bud?

Uh, it went down at the park.

Any other leads, Mudderbudder?

We heard them say
something about Innsfield.

Where is that, deputy dude?

[grunts] Innsfield?

That's wine country.
I know it well.

The sheriff here
loves his merlot.

I personally prefer
toilet water.

We need you to track them.

My sniffer isn't working
like it used to.

I couldn't even track a train.

You'd be better off without me.

[moans]

I guess the coffee wore off.

Sniffer? More like Snorer.

- [snores]
- Follow me.

I've got an idea.

[yawns]

[groans]

[door creaks]

♪ Air Bud and Mrs. Air Bud
sitting in a cage ♪

♪ K-i-s-s-i-n-g ♪

[all laughing]

Sir, due to their
similar appearances,

we've captured both Air Bud
and his girlfriend.

[all laughing]

Do you realize
that if I keep these
lovebirds together,

eventually I'll have
Air Bud puppies

that will be worth more
than my entire collection
combined.

[laughs]

Aah!

I hope my nitwit nephew
was learning a thing
or two from you.

Well, I learned
that there already
are Air Bud pups,

and I even learned how
to let them get away.

Is that the kind
of thing you mean?

Go on.

We had his five puppies but...

Denning let them get away.

- [winces]
- Why, you little punk.

Is this true, Denning?

W... well, I figured
once we get our main
objective secured,

Air Bud, we'd go back
and get the puppies.

[Denning groans]

Do you realize

why they are called
golden retrievers, hmm?

Because that's what
they're worth, gold.

That's what I said.

Now I suggest
you take these two
to the wine cellar

and then go and get me
my golden puppies.

Livingston and his brat
are due any day now.

[winces]

I can't believe
he let them get away.
They're gold, you know.

Neither can I.

That's why, Grim,

you are now in charge
of this mission.

- Whoa, whoa.
What'd he say?
- Yes!

Denning cannot be trusted.

Mm-hmm.

[whistles]

If you don't find me
those puppies,

you will find yourselves
being the tiger's lunch.

[roaring]

- [gasp]
- [laughs]

[Buddha] The Fernfield town map.

[Rosebud] Sniffer said
wine country, right?

Right. So we gotta go
past the drive-in
and old McRoberts' farm.

True north is the path
we must follow.

Bro, I'm glad you were
paying attention

when Noah did his
geography homework.

[barks]

[Denning] Shut up.

Denning, you're
crowding me. Sheesh.

[barks]

There. You may let
the dogs out of the cage.

Fine.

[yelps]

[door closes]

Ah, get out!

[whimpers]

Ah ah.

We've gotta get out.

Buddy, there's no way out.

Unless...

we dig our way out.

Budderball!

Mudbud! Come on!

[whistles]

Rosebud!

- [door bell jingles]
- Molly.

B-Dawg!

Mudbud!

Buddy!

Molly!

I've been thinking about it.

Buddy and Molly
helped us choose
the right families, right?

Right.

So why would they
run away with the Buddies?

Something's up, Henry.
Something's up.

[Rosebud] Mom and Dad,
here we come.

[breathless]
These dognappers picked the
wrong puppies to mess with.

[Budderball] The sooner
we rescue Mom and Dad,
the sooner we get lunch.

[whimpering]

- [cat snarls]
- [screams]

What's that? [shudders]

Stupid cat.

What took you so long?

They're not here,
and I looked everywhere.

Hmm.

What to do next.

[B-Dawg] Dudes,
we've been walking all day.

I don't see any wine country.

[Rosebud] This pup's
run out of pep.

[Mudbud] And it ain't
getting any lighter out.

[Budderball] Wait. [sniffs]
Do you guys smell that?

I must be smellucinating.

[Mudbud] Whoa! I smell it, too!

I'm no Sniffer,
but I'm pretty sure

it's coming from over there.

Where there's popcorn,
there's Budderball.

[movie soundtrack playing]

[Grim laughs]

[Dalmatian barks]

My uncle always says
know your animal,
do your research.


How's that for research?

The more time
we waste sitting here,

the more hungry
that tiger's gonna get!

Dudes, this is totally
my favorite movie.

[thunder onscreen]

[screams]

Get off me!

[Budderball] Oh, sweet mama.
I can almost taste it.

It's through here.

[Cruella De Vil]
They're mongrels. No spots.
No spots at all.

What a horrid little white rat.

[nanny] They are not mongrels.

- They'll get their spots.
- [snoring]

Follow me.
My nose knows the way.

[barking]

[man] Hey! What is that?!

[woman] What's going on?

[barks]

[man] We can't see!

Yo, what's with the pushing?

[Mudbud] Dude, I can't see!

Well, that's it, dog.
It's go time.

[Cruella] What have we here?

I don't remember this part.
Giant puppies attack
Cruella De Vil.

Oh, my goodness. [shudders]

Go, giant puppies!

Those puppies
aren't in the movie.

Those are our puppies!

Come on! If we don't hurry,

Budderball's gonna
eat all the popcorn.

[girl] Gordon and I went
on kind of an actual...

Jackpot!

- [clatter]
- [gasps]

We're looking for five puppies.

Uh-huh.

They're not real, pal.
They're in the movie.

- No. Wait!
- Aah!

Denning, I see a bright light.

Are we dead?

One super jumbo family-size
tub of popcorn, please.

Sure.

- [screams]
- No way!

Oh! Puppy!

- [woman] Puppy!
- Puppies! Over here!

- Thanks for nothing.
- Hey.

Denning, Denning, where are you?

- Denning.
- Come on.

[Grim] All right. Gee.

[woman, shuddering]
Ohh! That is so unsanitary!

Ohh!

I think he's cute.

Ohh! Dog germs.

[woman screams]

[both scream]

We've got company! 9-1-1!

Anybody got a doggie bag?

[barking]

[barking]

Hey. Check it out. Puppies.

Just like in the movie.

Aw, they're so cute. Hello, man.

Denning, just remember
my uncle put me in charge.

I love puppies
almost as much
as my wheels.

Watch out, Grim!

Denning, where are you?

Denning, where are you?

Denning. Denning.

Denning, I don't
remember authorizing you
to grow a beard.

I'm not taking orders from you.

When I get my hands on them,
I'm gonna wring their
double-crossing necks.

Let me at those punks.
Hold me back!

Grim.

[nervous chuckle] Hi, fella.

You haven't seen
some puppies, have you?

- [growls]
- Let's go, Grim. Now.

Were you trying
to hurt these puppies?

No way.

Get them!

[all yelling]

Let's get out of here!

[bark]

No! No! Let me down! No!

[Buddha] I sure hope
we don't run into those guys
in our next life.

Wait for me!

[all yelling and jeering]

Yours, too?

Yeah. They think
we're overreacting.

- Tomorrow we go to Sheriff Bob.
- [Henry] OK.

'Rent incoming.
Gotta go. Over and out.

[Henry] Over and out.

Did I just hear something
about Sheriff Bob?

You think I'm wrong.

Well, no. No, honey,

but I just don't
want you to worry.

We might as well
cover all of our bases,

and Sheriff Bob is one of them.

I think it's a good plan.

You do?

Good night, sweetie.

And remember,
no matter how far
from home you may stray,

the love we all share
is here to stay.

[sighs] Guys,
we should rest for a bit

and balance our energy.

[Rosebud] Sweet dreams,
everybody.

[Budderball]
Sweet dreams about cookies

and candy and ice cream
and cookies.

Did I mention cookies?

Oh, I hope the pups are OK.

Om.

Om.

Buddha, come on.
A girl needs
her beauty sleep.

Who are you talking to, anyways?

I'm meditating,

absorbing positive energy.

Om.

I'd positively like
to observe a Pop-Tart.

Om.

Buddha, come on. Let's go, bro.

It's so high.

[coughs]

[Denning coughing]

- I think I can undo it.
- No. No!

[both yell]

[groan]

Doesn't seem to be
getting anything.

He'll pick up on something.

They don't call him
the Million Dollar
Muzzle for nothing.

Come on.
These young'uns
need our help.

[sniffs]

[barks]

[barks]

I knew old Sniffer
would come through.

He can sniff out criminals
before they even
commit a crime.

[foils clattering]

- [grunts]
- [cell phone ringing]

- [man] Yes.
- [Denning] Mr. Selkirk,

we haven't captured
the pups yet.

We found ourselves
in a bit of
a sticky situation.

But I remind you
that Grim is in command.

I've captured panthers
with my own hands.

Have you ever seen

the claws on a panther?

Enough to take out an eye.

And you can't bring in
five puppies.

- [tiger roars]
- Ooh. Ooh ooh.

There's someone here

who wants to speak to you.

- [laughs]
- [roaring]

She's very hungry.

I get the message,
loud and clear, sir.

Get those puppies now.

[beep]

Yes, I will resume command.

You're the best.
You... you are.
You are, sir.

[chuckles] Over and out, sir.

Well, Denning, what'd he say?

Party's over, Grim.
I'm back in charge.

Orders from the big boss.

[Grim scoffs]

Oh, look how cute.

What are you talking about?

Nothing. Just a bunch of puppies
playing in the field over there.

- [tires screech]
- Puppies?!

- Aah!
- Where?!

[groans] Back there.

The cutest little puppies.

Those are our puppies,
and they aren't as cute
as you are dumb!

They're pretty darn cute.
[screams]

[Denning] Yee hoo! Yeah!

Whoo!

[all] Run!

Yee-hah! And that's
why I'm Selkirk's
go-to guy. Whoo!

- Didn't we ditch these guys?
- [Grim] Let's get them!

[Denning] That's
what I'm talking about!

[engine knocks,
sputters and dies]

Uh-oh.

[Denning] Ohh!

[yells]

Don't look at me.
The thing's a gas guzzler.

If we had a hybrid,
this kind of thing
wouldn't happen.

- Wh...?
- Mm-hm.

Get the net.

Come on, guys! Come on.
Hurry up! Come on.
They're gaining on us!

- Wait up, Denning!
- Faster! Faster!

- Hurry up, Grim!
- Come on.

- Untangle the net!
- I'm trying!

- Come on, you guys!
- That way. No. That w...

[groans] Come on. Let's get 'em!

[panting]

[sniffing, barks]

That's my boy.
He's found something.

[groans]

You varmints,
come out of there
with your hands up,

or I'm sending the dog in
after you,

and you ain't gonna like that.

[chatters]

[speaks French]

[barks]

[all groan]

Aw. Ew.

[speaks French] Leave me alone.

[boys moaning]

[whimpers]

[Rosebud] They're
right on our tails.

[barking]

[Denning] Freeze!

I mean good, you little puppies.

Ch-Ching, ch-ching.

They're like the puparazzi.

[laughs] Get them.

Quick! Through here!

Hurry! They're getting away.

- Help! I'm stuck!
- [Denning laughs]

He's got me by the tail!

Quit your wiggling.

I never thought
I'd say this,
but let it rip.

- [passes gas]
- [coughs]

[both groan]

- Phew.
- Oh. [gags]

[bleats]

Who goes there?

- Friend or foe?
- You speak Doggy?

I'm fluent in Horse,
Cow, Chicken,
Pig and Rooster.

- I even know
a little Mouse.
- Whoa.

Now, I said, "Who goes there?
Friend or foe?"

We don't even know
what "foe" means.

We're the Buddies,
and we're being chased
by crazies.

No one trespasses
on Billy's property.

I'll take care of them.

You may paaass.

Go to Belinda in the pigpen.

She'll help you.

[barking]

[groans]

I'll show these bozos

some country hospitality.

- Just jump. I'll catch you.
- You promise?

- Cross my heart.
- [bleats]

Aah! [groans]

Whoa! Ow!

- [Denning]
What the heck was that?
- Denning!

- You tricked me.
- Something hit me.

- Something else
is gonna hit you.
- It's on.

[both grunt]

Ow!

[puppy] Whoa. Stinkaroo.

Billy sent us.
We're friends, not foe.

Nyay riendfay ofay Illybay's
isay a riendfay ofay inemay.

What is she talking about?

Oh. It's Pig Latin.
I'll translate.

There they are!

[puppy] They've spotted us!

Uickqay, isguiseday
ourselvesyay asay igletspay.

She said, "Quickly,
disguise yourself
as piglets."

Oink oink. Woof.

Oink oink.

[Budderball]
Woof... I mean, oink oink.

Oink oink.

This is my kind of camouflage.

This was a brand-new fur coat.

[pigs and pups oinking]

They're gone.

Oink oink. Woof...

Woof... oink. Woof.

I never knew piglets
had long, furry tails.

[pups oinking and woofing]

[piglets squeal]

[Denning] Get one!

[squealing]

I gotcha!

[spits]

Buddies, into the barn, quick.

Let's blow this pig stand.

- [Buddies] Thanks, Belinda!
- [Rosebud] Anksthay, Elindabay.

Oycottbay aconbay.

- [spits]
- [pig squeals]

Whoa.

This had better be mud!

Stupid doggies went in the barn.

Let's get 'em.

Follow me, Buddies.

[barking]

Whoa. [grunts]

Don't move a muscle.

You go that way, and...

I'll go that way.

Huh?

[both grunt]

[Buddies and Billy laughing]

Shh.

Aah-choo!

Oops.

[Denning] There they are,
in the hayloft.

Dudes, bolt!

Quick! Into the hay, dudes!

Scramble!

[Rosebud] Quick! Quick!
Hi-Hide! Into the hay!

[Grim] Mm-hmm.

[chuckles]

Here, puppy, puppy, puppy.

Puppy, puppy.

- [bleats]
- [screams]

Help!

[both scream]

Puppies, this way!

Run for cover!

[barking]

[coughing] Come on.

They're getting away.

Get them!

[laughs] There they are.

You little peanut-brained
puppies think you're
so smart. [laughs]

How you gonna
get out of here,
little geniuses?

[barking]

Quick! Go around!

[Grim] Go!

It's stuck.

You gotta be kidding me.

No.

[bleats]

[both] What are you laughing at?

That was a blaaast.

That's the most fun
I've had in years.

Now, you'd better go
find your parents.

- [Buddies] Thaaanks, Billy.
- I think that was
Dalai the llama.

Dude, he's a goat.

Why, you little puppies,

when I get my hands on you...

I'm ordering you little
rat-brains to roll over,

come here now!

[groans]

Whoa! [groans]

Ow!

[groans]

Thirsty?

[sighs]

Wowza.
What happened to you guys?

We thought we found them,

but Sniffer led us
straight to a skunk
instead.

[sighs]

Any news, Dad?

I've been in contact
with all the vet clinics.

No one's found them yet,

so they're out there somewhere.

[plays harmonica]

Hey, don't be so blue,
old buddy.

What you did
was a dadgum, bona fide,

honest mistake, that's all.

[sniffs, whimpers]

[sniffs]

It couldn't be.

My sniffer's probably just
playing tricks on me again.

[whimpers]

Can't go over it.
Can't go around it.

Mudbud, I've got bad news.

You're about to take a bath.

Dude, I'm already clean.
I just took a mud bath.

On the positive side,
there's no soap.

[all] Cannonball!

OK, fine. Fine.

[barking]

[owl hooting]

D-Do we really,

really have to go in there?

Don't tell me
you're a scaredy-cat.

Them is fighting words.

I ain't no fur ball spitter.

We don't have a choice.

We have to go through the forest
to get to Mom and Dad.

[barking]

[Buddha] I'm sensing
this way is true north.

[B-Dawg] Then your compass
is stone-cold busted, dog,

'cause we just came
from that way!

Hey, guys,
should we stop for lunch?

Stop thinking about
your stomach for once?

Dude, why don't you
stop thinking about
yourself for once?

I don't know why I bother
with you guys.

Throw me a bone, will you?

Listen up. Quiet for a second.

Stop fighting!

The only way we're gonna
find Mom and Dad

is if we work together
like a team.

Guys, I feel like
someone is watching me.

Dudes, dudes.

- He's right.
- [growls]

- [snarls]
- [all] Run!

- Run! Run!
- Oh, no.

Hurry up!

[snarls]

[swallows]

I am puppy!

Hear me roar. Roar!

Don't you dare hurt my brothers.

You are very brave, little one.

I definitely take back
what I said about girls.

Girl power all the way.

It's not safe for you pups
in the forest alone. Follow me.

I won't harm you.

[barking]

[heavy door closes]

[whimpers]

[humming]

Buddy.

[barks]

[whimpers]

Let's see. Which one is it?

Ah, no, no.

- [scraping]
- Hurry.

Ah, it's this one. Yeah.

Ah, finally.

Aah!

[whimpers]

Back. Back! Back!

[whimpers]

[door closes]

Tomorrow your new owner
will be here to take you away.

Please try to contain
your filth to yourselves.

The cabinet is 200 years old,

and that's not dog years.

[grunts]

Ow!

[door shuts]

Whew. That was close.

Mr. Wolf, sir,

you got any cheese snacks
by any chance?

I'm afraid not, little one.

How about some advice
for five lost pups?

Where are your people?

We were being sent
to our new homes and...

we ran away.
We wanted to stay together.

We were scared of the unknown.

You know, as legend tells,

one day, a small pup
wandered away from its den

and wound up lost far from home.

He was rescued by a small boy,

and when it was time to return,

the pup did not wanna go home.

He and the boy
had formed a true bond.

And from that day on,

dogs chose to live
amongst people

to bring the love of animals
to human families.

We've really messed up.

We ran away from our troubles
instead of facing them.

And then our 'rents
got dognapped.

We're trying to rescue them.

I have heard your mother
and father howling.

No way! Y...
You know where they are?

- Really?
- I... I heard them, too.

- I was trying
to tell everyone.
- Dude.

What? I did. [chuckles] Honest.

Rest now, and in the morning,

I shall take you to them.

[Rosebud]
Sweet dreams, everybody.

Nighty-night, Mr. Wolf.

[whimpers]

[snoring]

[sizzling]

[sniffs]

[grunts]

I love the smell
of bacon in the morning.

The smell of bacon?

I can smell bacon!

[barking]

What's gotten into you,
old boy, huh?

[barks]

[groans]

Your parents
are waiting for you.

- [barking]
- Mom, Dad, here we come.

I'm back! Sniffer is back!

I can smell!

[barking]

[sniffing]

[barking]

[chattering]

[moans] Hold your fire!

I just came to say thanks.

It's been years since
I smelled bacon frying.

- Your spray must've
cleared my sinuses.
- Good for you.

Whoo-hoo!

[Sniffer barking]

Sniffer?

What's gotten into Sniffer?

I've never
seen him so excited.
He wants us to follow.

[continues barking]

[barking]

[Henry] Don't forget
this is the dog that led us
straight to the skunk.

Sniffer, you sure this is right?

Beyond this fence
lies the vineyards

where your parents
are being held.

Now it's up to you
to rescue them.

Why don't you stay
with us forever
so you're not all alone?

We wolves are needed
in the forest

as much as you are needed
by people.

Do you ever get scared?

Sometimes,
but that's why we howl,

to let one another know
that even though
we may feel alone,

we never really are.

- Thanks, Mr. Wolf dude.
- Namaste.

[Rosebud] Bye! Thank you!

Come on! [barks]

[all] Wow.

Wine country.

[panting]

Sniffer, are you sure
they came this way?

[barks]

Who goes there? Friend or...

Oh. Excuse me,
Deputy Sniffer. [laughs]

We're investigating
missing puppies. I can smell
they've come this way.

Well, your nose isn't lying.

Those pups passed
through here yesterday

with trespassing dognappers
hot on their tails.

[bleats]

[barks]

[bleats]

[Sniffer barks]

[bleats]

[grunts]

Kids, help.
We're being held hostage
by this crazy goat.

Have you seen
five golden puppies?

Why, no,
I can't say that I have.

Have you?
'Cause we could join forces
and catch 'em together.

- Ow!
- Quiet, you imbecile.

We better let Sheriff Bob
know about these guys.

Looks like
they're not going anywhere.

No, no, no, no, no.
Please, please open...

Please, please, please, please!

[bleats]

[crying]

[barking]

[barks]

[barking]

We've got to find
the pups before they do.

Isn't it clear
that I did not say 2.2.
I said 1.7!

If he has trouble
remembering, he can
take it up with my lawyer!

There's gotta be
a way in somewhere.

Quick! Around back!

Hey, check this thing...
[screams]

We're short a Budderball again.

[screaming]

I think we found the way in.

Dudes! Whoo-hoo! I like!

Whee! Yahoo!

Whoa!

Wha-hoo!

You might want
to consider doubling
your price

and taking both Air Bud

and his girlfriend.

Just think of the potential.

Ooh. [chuckles] Anxious.

Huh?

[door closes]

So where is he?

I knew those mutts
were up to something.

[whimpers]

Puppies!

[laughing]

Oh, my gosh, Selkirk.

You've always had
a flair for theatrics.

You tricked us.

Air Bud puppies.
What a surprise.

Oh. [laughs]

Ta-da!

I love them.

[sniffs]

This must be it.

[barking]

I'm plumb tuckered out.

I'm just gonna stand guard here,

maybe catch a few Z's.

[sighs]

[snoring]

- [Buddy] Sniffer?
- Yeah, B... [snorts]

What are you doing here?

Muddy, Bolly, you've been saved!

Wow. Them boys work fast.

- But where are the puppies?
- The puppies?

They headed off to save you.

They've gone through this fence.

We've come from there.
It's not safe.

We gotta hurry.

Hey, wait for me.

[grunts]

[barks]

Sniffer is hot on the trail.

[Buddies whimpering]

Happy, Bartleby?

Oh, yeah.

- All right, step aside.
- [scoffs]

[chuckles]

- [speed dialing]
- Ah.

[cell phone ring tone]

[nervous chuckle] Hello.

I knew you wouldn't
fail me, Denning.

[chuckles]

I... I didn't fail you?

You don't have to tell me.

I'm very happy with you two,

almost as happy as
that billionaire brat is

with those
pooping machine puppies.

Well, I wish it was
as easy as it looks.

It didn't hurt that you told me
you'd feed me to the tiger.

I knew you were just kidding.

Oh, I was completely series.

If you didn't get the puppies,

the tiger would have got you.

[laughing]

Oh. Um...

you're not fired.

Whew.

[sighs]

Sometimes you're so good
you even surprise yourself.

[chuckles] Now we just
gotta get out of here.

Where is that stupid goat?

[bleats]

[shrieks]

[siren]

Uh-oh.

[whimpering]

- [Livingstone]
I said 1.5, not 2.
- [barking]

You talk to him.

Tell me what he says.

Just tell him I'll back
to New York by Friday.

Shh.

Oh, OK, OK.

Tell him that's fine.

[gasps]

Let's skedaddle. Hurry, Noah.

Aah! The puppies
are getting away!

- What the...?
- I'll call you back.

These dogs
are really starting
to try my patience.

[groans]

[crack]

[barking]

[Bartleby] Which way'd they go?

Whoa.

I smell grape juice.

[barking]

Oh, sweet mama.

[Rosebud]
This is no time for games.

Budderball, stop!

One sip.
Just one itty-bitty sip.

Aah!

Quick, dudes.
He can't doggy paddle.
He's too heavy.

[barking]

He's floating. It's a miracle.

Come on, Budderball!

[Noah] You can do it.

- [passes gas]
- Oh, Budderball.

Ew.

Budderball.

- [barking]
- Come on. OK.
I got him. I got him.

I got him.

[Noah] All right, let's go.

[sniffing] Pee-yoo! You stink.

[drunkenly]
That's the weirdestest
grape juice ever.

[laughs, hiccups]

We'll go this way.

[hiccupping] Follow me, guys.

Wait.

Budderball's not here.

We gotta find him. Hurry!

We're ready for our new peeps.

I know he's a brat,

even more, right?

Aw. [laughs]

Now we know they're ready.

Without a doubt.

Honey?

There's someone here to see you.

Dude, I'm already clean.
I just took a mud bath.

Did they consider

I might need a pooper-scooper.

Now, what did I teach
you pups about teamwork?

Which means more of
