Burbank, Calif., July 19, 2009 – Disney’s irresistible talking pups are back in SANTA BUDDIES: THE LEGEND OF
SANTA PAWS, a heartwarming, all-new holiday adventure coming to Blu-ray combo pack and DVD on November 24,
2009 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. The beloved pups take a fantastic journey to the North Pole in an
exciting new escapade Few things are more appealing, adorable and elicit bigger enthusiasm than man’s best friend. From classic Old Yeller to
classy Beverly Hills Chihuahua to animated Bolt, one of Hollywood’s surest ways to delight audiences of all ages lies
firmly at the feet of our four-legged friends. Since the 1997 big-screen debut of the sports-minded Golden Retriever star
“Buddy,” audiences have thrilled to the high-stakes antics in the AIR BUD movie series with its fantastic sports-themed
adventures including basketball, football, soccer, volleyball and even America’s national pastime – baseball!
A quintet of adorable talking puppies followed the “Bud” movies in 2006, with the highly-anticipated launch of the
BUDDIES series – and a puppy craze began as AIR BUDDIES became the biggest live-action Direct-To-DVD movie of
the year!
Following in those triumphant paw prints, the wise-cracking pups went North to Alaska to compete in a daring dogsled
adventure, barking up yet another #1 for 2008, as SNOW BUDDIES crossed the finish line as the best-selling live-action
Direct-to-DVD of all time*! Released to Disney DVD in February 2009, SPACE BUDDIES sent the puppies where no
dog has gone before, and rocketed another hit into the homes of millions. Now comes SANTA BUDDIES: THE
LEGEND OF SANTA PAWS, arriving this holiday season on Disney Blu-Ray hi-def and DVD, and sure to be their
greatest and most heart warming adventure yet.
“The overwhelming success of each of our ‘Buddies’ adventures really highlights how irresistible Disney Dog movies are
and what great family entertainment can be," said Bob Chapek, President, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
"SANTA BUDDIES: THE LEGEND OF SANTA PAWS is destined to become a new holiday classic, securing the
Buddies' place in the long lineage of Disney Dogs."
In SANTA BUDDIES: THE LEGEND OF SANTA PAWS, the lovable “Buddies,” B-Dawg, Budderball, Buddha,
Mudbud, and Rosebud embark on a thrilling journey to the magical world of Santa’s Workshop. When Puppy Paws, the
fun-loving son of Santa Paws, gets tired of the North Pole, he checks out Santa’s “naughty” list and finds Budderball’s
name right on top. Puppy Paws heads south to meet the Buddies and find out how “ordinary” pups spend their days. But
when the world begins to forget the true meaning of the holidays and the magic of the season begins to literally melt
away, it’s up to Puppy Paws and his newfound Buddies to save the day in another epic adventure. Their extraordinary
exploits highlight the importance of collaboration, courage and tradition in a joyous celebration of life and friendship.
Sure to be a family favorite for years to come, SANTA BUDDIES: THE LEGEND OF SANTA PAWS delivers enough
holiday cheer to last a whole year! It’s Buddy-loving fun the whole family will enjoy again and again.
