Arrving on DVD and Blu-Ray Nov. 20th -- Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups (Review)



"On November 20th, Disney delivers a heartwarming and hilarious adventure starring a brand new litter of the most adorable talking Great Pyrenees pups in SANTA PAWS 2: THE SANTA PUPS on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital! From the creators of the #1 live-action, direct-to-video Disney Buddies franchise, SANTA PAWS 2: THE SANTA PUPS is the perfect film for the entire family to enjoy this coming Holiday Season!"

Synopsis:

"The North Pole has a new litter of playful pups! However, when the frisky foursome—Hope, Jingle, Charity and Noble—practically destroy Santa’s Workshop with their mischievous gamboling, they realize the best way to prove that they’re responsible enough to become Santa’s Helpers is to show how well they can spread the Christmas spirit all by themselves. With help from a magic crystal, they start granting everyone’s wishes. But their good intentions backfire when one unhappy boy asks that Christmas go away forever! With his wish impetuously fulfilled, and the joyous spirit quickly disappearing from the planet, Mrs. Claus and the pups have to find a way to reverse the spell—or risk losing Christmas forever!"



My Thoughts:

Since introducing my daughters to these cute dogs last year, they have become instant fans to any new release which comes out from Disney's popular Santa Buddies series.  So, as you can imagine, last week when I opened the mail to find this upcoming release to review, Savannah went crazy.  She started naming the names of her favorite buddies, and couldn't wait for us to watch the movie.  But, I told her we would have to wait for the weekend to watch it, as I was hoping she and Arabella would be over their head colds and be able to enjoy it better.

But, after waking up yesterday to find them still sick, I decided maybe the buddies would lift their spirit -- and, they did.  When the movie began playing and Savannah saw new pups Hope, Jingle, Charity and Noble as the main characters, I could tell she was wondering why her favorite buddies were not taking center stage.  This didn't last long, as she fell in love with these fur balls and love watching them get into mischief like the older dogs she grew accustom to seeing.

It was nice seeing these new pups, as it breathes a fresh life into this popular Disney series.  The story kept the entire family engaged, and we were rooting for Mrs. Claus and the new pups to save Christmas around the world.  Were they successful?  You will just have to pick up this new release to find out for yourself?  :-) And, make sure you watch the bonus features which includes a music sequence and bloopers.  Savannah couldn't stop laughing and asking to see the "Blooper Scooper" feature over and over again.  It really was cute to watch.  I think we have another family favorite Christmas movie we will be watching year after year.  And, now that we have fallen in love with a new litter of pups from Disney, we can't wait to see what titles are to come.  Believe me, one you set eyes on these furry friends, your heart will melt -- and, you will think their mischief is just dogs being dogs. :-)


Disclosure:  I was sent a review copy of this DVD from the vendor in order to write up an honest review.  The views above are mine and mine alone.
