My Thoughts:
Adventures of Bailey: Christmas Hero is the second release in this family friendly series, with a third one ("A Night in Cowtown") in production. I hadn't seen the first one, "The Lost Puppy," so wasn't sure what was in store with this holiday film. Being a dog lover, I have seen many films where the dogs are the stars of the film. Some are good, while other leave less to be desired.
As soon as I sat down to watch the movie, I could tell it was a low-budget film. Unlike other popular dog films, not much was done to make it look like the dogs were really talking. Instead, the film made you think that you could hear the dog's thoughts. Older children who have been exposed to high budget films may not find interest in this film, but my daughter, Savannah, loved it! The only downfall for a toddler to watch this film is that it is around 90 minutes. I ended up having to break the movie up into segments, as she would have grown restless and walked away at the halfway part. But, by breaking it up, she was able to enjoy snuggling on the couch with me as we watched Bailey and Duke (his older brother) as they get into trouble at a local Christmas event, only to be cursed with no gifts for Christmas. The only way they can reverse this curse is to find an Indian Chief (AKA Santa). When they travel with the Bakers to Grandpa's farm, they end up getting lost.
This is where the movie really begins and makes up the bulk of the film. Will the dogs find their way home in time for Christmas? Will they find the Indian Chief and reverse the curse, thus giving them presents for Christmas? I am not going to spoil the ending for you. You will just have to pick up a copy of the movie to find out for yourself. But, in the end, know that a wonderful message is shared with viewers, and that is the importance of giving, along with the true meaning of Christmas.
Overall, I enjoyed watching this holiday film with my daughter. The two dogs are beautiful and a joy to watch. I can't wait to see the third installment in this series, as well as pick up a copy of the first movie.
