Air Bud Entertainment

Air Bud Entertainment (short for ABE) is a family-entertainment company that specializes in making movies for kids of all ages that contain animals, most notably, dogs. The company’s first ever feature film is Russel Madness.

Beginnings

It is unknown how Air Bud Entertainment started, but it could be that Robert Vince and Anna McRoberts wanted to make a film studio named after one of the famous films of 1997, and the canine star, Air Bud. Robert Vince most likely opened the studio in Malibu Beach, located in the state of Florida. The company, when it was first launched in 2009, only distributed films, with other small companies. However, in 2015, the underdog’s very own film studio would come to life with the company’s first ever feature film, entitled Russel Madness, focusing on a Jack Russel who gets to the top of the wrestling world. Then, in 2016, came Pup Star, and its sequels focusing on a young Yorkie named Tiny, her sister, and all her friends as they sing in a televised competition for dogs. In 2020, the company stepped forward, and made its first ever TV series, Pup Academy, which centers on 4 friends who attend a school on how to learn to be man’s best friend. The company has not been making stuff since 9 months ago, exactly last year. However, there is supposed to be a remake of Air Bud coming soon from the company, entitled Air Bud 2020. It has not come out yet. According to Kidscreen... “The series’ sixth film, Air Bud 2020, and a 22 x half hour series are expected to launch next year as ABE tries to show a new generation of young fans and their millennial parents (who grew up with the famous canine) some of its best tricks”. This means that the upcoming film is supposed to spread into a TV series that lasts half an hour (in this case, most likely, 24 minutes long). No info has been revealed as of now for the film and its series. Also according to IDMb, a series called “Russel Maniac” premiered in 2020 with one only episode. This is false, as Russel Madness was only a move and not a TV show.
