Snow Buddies (2008)
Dylan Sprouse, Jim Belushi and Kris Kristofferson lend their voices to this family-friendly tale about a feisty pack of golden retriever puppies that embarks on an Alaskan adventure. When they find themselves stranded in the northern wilderness, the canine offspring of famed sports star Air Bud team up with an experienced sled dog and a husky pup, who teach them the importance of working together.
In Snow Buddies, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “sled dog race”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing teamwork, competition, friendship, culture, adventure.
