Super Buddies

Wholesome Family Flick
I am normally not a fan of movies with talking animals. I know I'm overly practical but it's hard for me to get into something so unrealistic. However, with Disney's name on Super Buddies, I knew if anyone could do it well, it would be Disney.

My kids weren't really interested in watching and after seeing it, I think it's a little old for my four and five year olds. Part of it is just that it's not a cartoon but since the human characters are young teens, it would probably appeal more to a tween/teen audience. Paige did come in and out when the aliens were on screen as they were more up her alley!

I'm always amazed when watching Disney movies how skilled they are at matching voices with animals/characters. The accents and expressions fit to a `T' so you really believe these talking animals as they have evolved into something so realistic. I think in these types of movies it's really a make or break deal to get the voices right.

Super Buddies was cute...

Super Buddies are Now Super Powered!
These dogs are so cute, but also powerful in this movie! Talk about fun the Super Buddies are actually super with super powers in this fun family movie. I love that some of the message of the movie talks about bullying and you see how the Super Buddies work together in the end to combat the bully in the movie. Each of these Super Buddies movies are simply fun, and with each one, even as my kids get older, they continue to want to see and experience the new ones and the old ones again and again. I know as an adult they seem to make me feel a bit younger, which is always a good sign! All-in-all, if you are looking for a great family friendly movie with a positive message being shared, this is definitely the one to watch!

My eight-year-old's opinion:
I waited for this movie for a long time and saved my allowance for it. I was disappointed. I didn't like the alien part. The movie didn't have enough about the Buddies in it. It had too much about Drexel, the bad guy. Maybe boys who like aliens would like it better. The part I liked was when Captain Megasus taught the Buddies their powers. I hope the next Buddies movie is better!
