4.0 out of 5 stars When did Santa Claus become Indiana Jones???? February 5, 2012

By The Escape Artist

Format:DVD

In all fairness, I am torn about this entire review. I agree with everyone that the Buddies direct to dvd franchise is strained and borderline pathetic. And I was ready to completely dislike the movie before even watching it. But to my chagrin by the third time my six year old played the disc, I found myself chuckling at some of the lines and antics.

Yes, the CGI is bad. The "Middle Eastern accents" are bad. The humor is bad and at times completely unnecessary (when Cammy and Butter Ball discuss regurgitation... YUCK! While a fact of life, was this important enough to put in the movie?!?!). And the premise of the movie? ... you guessed it, bad. For anyone put off by the supernatural storyline in Spooky Buddies, Treasure Buddies is no different as there is a curse involved and an evil cat bent on taking over the world (think Warner Brother's "Cats & Dogs" movies). Yes there are scary scenes because of whole storyline, but the amount of 'fright' really depends on your child's age and maturity level. There are also other mature themes like the sale of camels (ie: animal rights), and grave robbing. On the flip side, there are definitely cultural aspects present such as prayer and specific Egyptian foods - and your child will probably have questions about all of this as mine did. While the movie is G-rated, I'd say 5+ is a good range.

What really helped redeem the movie was the acting. Yes, I said acting! Edward Hermann (recognizible from reruns of The Gilmore Girls and on voiceover work on various programs on the Biography Channel as well as a slew of movies) and Richard Riehle (a character actor who played Santa Claus in the 'Search for Santa Paws' - the buddy-less direct to dvd Buddy movie). These two obviously enjoyed hamming it up and getting into their over the top 'old man adventurer' roles. Plus, they had more screen time than the Buddies! And I confess, I LOVE Uncle Babi! I know, I know - a monkey for comic relief is as old as that black and white Laurel and Hardy mummy movie, but this monkey offered up some decent gags. Who knew another Disney monkey could take on Aladdin's Abu???

The bonus features are basic: the "Roam" 'music video' (basically, karaoke for 2nd tier Disney Channel actors), B-Dog's episode of "cribs", and the ever present "upgrade to blu-ray" commercials. To wrap up, my six year old would probably give this five stars. So with my input, I'm settling with a solid 3.5 star rating.

Did I mention I **LOVE** Uncle Babi? ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Indiana Bones February 4, 2012

By Katy Ireland

Format:Blu-ray

My daughter (5) and I (43) had a great time watching this movie. It had some fun new characters (a cheeky little monkey and a friendly camel) to complement the five lovable Buddies and our fairly high expectations (we have seen all the Buddies movies) were more than satisfied. The humor and adventure were handled in an appropriate manner for a G rated movie and had some genuine laugh-out-loud moments. The middle-eastern setting was an exciting and interesting departure for the pups and held our interest to the final frame. While the actors involved will never be receiving Academy Awards for their performances, the movie showcased positive values in a way that kids can relate to. I am certain that it will be receiving a considerable amount of repeat viewings in our house.

2.0 out of 5 stars Scary for Little Ones February 3, 2012

By Emily Jordan

Format:DVD

My children anxiously awaited the arrival of this movie in the mail. However, we were quite disappointed as we watched it tonight. My youngest daughter kept saying that the voice of one of the buddies is different than in the other movies. My youngest son kept saying, "I'm scared". At the end of the movie, they all three said they were too scared to go to bed and asked to please watch something else for a few minutes to get their minds off of this movie.

Please understand, this movie is not SO TERRIBLY SCARY. There are some creepy scenes, especially with the naked cat, the snake, the bugs, the naked cat...oh did I already mention the naked cat? I think one problem is that my children enjoy the Air Bud and Buddies movies because they make them laugh (as silly as they may be). This movie does not make children laugh and it almost put mom and dad to sleep!

There is also an element of family bonding, love, and loyalty in the Air Bud movies that is missing in some of the Buddies movies. It makes quite a difference.

I'm giving this two stars instead of one because the description of one star is "I hate it". I don't hate this movie, but none of us have a desire to see it again. Therefore, the two stars which means "I don't like it".
