How dare you! The whole Air Bud Pentology is genius and cinema at its absolute best.
The intricate, character driven plots and multi-movie story arches hark back to Charles Dickens.
Even the spin-off content, produced mainly to fill in the supposed plot holes of the main movies, were so well made and written with such elegance and verbosity that it makes one wonder if they had been planned from the very beginning.
The stressful intra-family dynamics portrayed in the films gives such a poignant parallel to our own human lives.
Buddy is constantly struggling to balance his hectic life as a sports super star, a loving partner to Molly, and as good role model to his 5 children.
Yet, Buddy's inability to handle all three tasks at once show that he possesses human characteristics.
Buddy is a workaholic from a blue collar town, always looking for the next job by which to support his family, and as a result neglects Molly and the ever-rebellious Buddies.
The Buddies, having little contact with their father, are constantly forced to act as adults at too young an age.
Being denied their childhood, they become runaway pups and eventually turn to a life of vigilante crime.
This is over the course of the entire franchise that we see Buddy's start as young blue collared dog who hit upon the American Dream, turning into a well-meaning but ill prepared father whose unrealistic ideals end up manifesting in his children.
It's beautiful.
But you don't get that, do you?
The series touches upon so many cultural phenomenon which are synonymous with being a modern day human, but views them through the naive and hopeful eyes of human's closest allies.
From the scathing religious commentary of Santa Buddies (2009) to the critical, honest and honestly surprisingly wide reaching look at the modern day gladiators that are American Foot Ball players in Air Bud: Golden Receiver (1998), it's almost impossible to deny Air Bud's prominent role in the advancement of American culture in the last 20 years.
It's fabulous.
Genius.
Each film a Magnum Opus.
And you call it a cash grabbing hunk of ♥♥♥♥?
You, who hasn't even seen the main Air Bud Pentology, much less the lesser side works like Monkey Up (2016) or Russel Madness (2015)?
Have you even READ his Buddy's biography Go Buddy (2012) chronicling his life and fight with cancer?
Thought not.
How can you have an informed opinion on anything if you don't even bother to stay informed.
Honestly disgraceful, and you should have withheld your opinion on the matter.

RIP Air Bud
