✳ BIG FEELINGS · JUST FOR LAUGHS
Snow Dogs.
A new family comes with a very loud team.
A Miami dentist inherits sled dogs in Alaska and travels north to settle the estate. Learning about his birth mother and a prickly local musher leads him toward an unexpected family history and a demanding race.
Watch the official trailer ↗Why it’s a little special
Cuba Gooding Jr.'s bewildered newcomer supplies broad comedy while the dogs provide personality. The search for family gives the icy mishaps a second emotional thread.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Adoption, a deceased birth mother and parental rejection are central. Dogs and people face severe weather, accidents and a dangerous rescue; mild rude humor and stereotypes also appear.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
