Space Buddies.
The puppies leave the planet.

View film informationWhy it’s a little special
An outlandish premise puts the puppies in a completely unfamiliar setting. Cooperation and reassurance stay central even when the gadgets become the main source of trouble.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Spacecraft malfunctions, explosions, separation, a threatening adult, and animal peril. The science is broad fantasy and some situations may make young viewers anxious.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
