I figure the first couple of movies with the dog(s) doing tricks wouldn't be too bad, but the trailers for the various Buddies films where they are talking just seems WAY too cheesy

At what point did they go from something an adult fan of Disney live-action would like to something targeted at 6 year olds who think its funny because the puppies talk?

It was a bad film series. Now it just got worse.

The first one is a pretty decent family film that is as much of "sad boy finds a canine friend" drama as it is "look at that funny dog shoot baskets." The second one dumbs it down and the Buddies movies have only taken things much lower from the two most recent ones that I reviewed. I haven't seen five movies in between those, but I would guess they're somewhere in between the two groups quality-wise and therefore still not worth any adult's time.

The first Air Bud movie is okay... I've seen a couple of the sequels and they all reek of cheese. I won't even watch the buddies movies. The trailers are bad enough, plus knowing that multiple puppies have died to make these so called films is a major turn-off.
