What a load of shit.
Air Bud came out in 1997.
There's no fucking way that a golden retriever can live twenty-nine years, let alone remain competitive in basketball.
If youre 30 or older, you've outlived every dog and cat* alive when you were born
the plot is way more bonkers than that.
in-universe, the movie Air Bud exists. the new child watches that, and then the plot of the original Air Bud basically happens again; kid's dad is dead, golden retriever comes into his life, and I guess this time he names it after the dog from the movie he saw? and also unless the film decides to get really meta I doubt the child will ever comment on the absurdity that his life is basically the plot of the movie he only recently saw.
That's not a plot, that's a fever dream!
They couldn’t wait one more year for the 30th anniversary.
