About the Movie:
"Welcome to a world where dogs can not only talk -- they can SING! Tiny, a cute little Yorkie pup with a big voice, gets a chance to audition for the singing competition for dogs, “Pup Star.” After she earns a place in the finale, she’s suddenly dog-napped! But with the help of her new friend, Charlie, a retired rock-and-roller, she escapes. Together they leave on an incredible journey through some of music’s most iconic cities. On the way to the competition they meet Big Ears — a soulful Bassett Hound who teaches Tiny to belt out the
blues; Murray — a spiritual shaggy dog who helps her find her inner rhythm; and Emily Rose — a country-singing shepherd who helps her learn to sing from her heart. Most important of all, they all encourage Tiny to believe in herself and never give up on her dreams!"
My Thoughts:
The other night we have a fun family movie night. I didn't tell the girls what we would be watching, just that it would be a fun family movie everyone would enjoy. As the girls found their spot on their couch and snuggled in to the watch the movie, I began playing the movie. It only took the opening credits to hear the girls say, "Oh, how cute," "Look at the cute little puppy," "This is going to be a cool movie," and on and on. And, from that point on, the girls were swept away in this fun-filled movie featuring cute and oh so cuddly pups that can talk and sing. Yes, you read that right, singing pups. Think of this movie as American Idol or even the Voice, but with pups doing the singing and judging.
As we watched the movie, I found myself laughing and smiling along with the girls. Usually movies like this I find corny or hard to sit and watch, but this movie really was cute, and I have to say the music and singing had my toes tapping. :-)
If you were to ask Savannah who her favorite pup was from the movie, she would be quick to answer, Tiny. Just look at the lead pup in the film and you will see why Savannah and Bella are so in love and want a dog just like Tiny for themselves...
Tiny is such an adorable Yorkie pup. And, she makes watching this movie even more enjoyable especially if you are a dog lover. :-)
At only an hour and 31 minutes in length, this family-friendly movie is great for even the youngest of viewers to sit through from beginning to end and enjoy. As soon as the credits started rolling both of my girls quickly got up and asked when we would watch this movie again. If I let them, they would have watched it again that night. But, we waited until the next day, and after breakfast watched it again.
Once you watch this fun family movie you will see why my girls and I can't get enough and could watch this film over and over again. This fun, is not only enjoyable to watch, but like most family-friendly movies, has important life lessons about family, friendship, dreaming big and never giving up, that will spark a discussion between parents and children after the movie is over. I for one give this movie 2 paws up, and know you and your family will love it. And, who knows, maybe you will find yourself singing along with the dogs as you watch this cute family film time and again.
