Air Bud

Air Bud is an 1997 American family dramedy film that sparked the franchise centered on the real-life dog, Buddy, a Golden Retriever. The film's title may be a wordplay on "Air Jordan", a nickname of basketball superstar Michael Jordan. It is the first film to be distributed together by longtime animation rivals Walt Disney Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, albeit in different territories (Disney handled US distribution, while Warner handled international distribution).
