Felt a bit nostalgic recently and rewatched the Air Bud movies. Thought the brother-sister relationship between Josh (Kevin Zegers) and Andrea (Caitlin Wachs) was really sweet, so I've compiled some of their scenes together. Air Bud: World Pup (also known as Air Bud 3 in most other countries) is a 2000 made-for-video American comedy film directed by Bill Bannerman. The third film in the Air Bud series, it was the first to be filmed without Buddy, the canine star of the first two films; Buddy died after production of the previous film, Golden Receiver. World Pup was the first film in the Air Bud series not to be released theatrically in the U.S., opting to only be released on video; however, it was played in Philippine theaters for a limited time. Teenager Josh Framm's mother, Jackie, has just married her veterinarian boyfriend, Dr. Patrick Sullivan (Dale Midkiff). Josh and his best friend, Tom Stewart (Shayn Solberg), just made their school's soccer team when their coach reveals that their team will become co-ed. Josh meets Emma Putter, an attractive, wealthy girl who just moved to Fernfield from England after her mother's death, who will not only be playing on his soccer team, but also has a golden retriever named Molly, who Buddy also finds attractive. Emma invites Josh to a party at her house and Tom arrives dressed up like a British soldier and looking quite silly wearing a kilt. At the same time, things work out between Buddy and Molly and they become infatuated on the second floor in Emma's house, all the while, Josh's sister, Andrea Framm (Caitlin Wachs) and her best friend, Tammy (Chantal Strand), want to scope out what's really going on at the party. Molly quickly has puppies with Buddy. Next, it is discovered that Buddy also has the uncanny ability to play soccer. However, the soccer committee decided on the recommendation of chairman Jack Stearns to ban the Timberwolves from the soccer league all because they had Buddy on their team. Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch (also known as Air Bud 4) is a 2002 direct to video American film directed by Robert Vince. It is the fourth film in the Air Bud series. Josh is off to his first year of college and Buddy has stayed behind with Josh's little sister, Andrea, and the rest of the family. Jackie and Patrick have recently welcomed Josh and Andrea's half brother Noah. Andrea, attempting to fit in with her junior high classmates, decides to join the baseball team. Along the way she discovers that Buddy also has the uncanny ability to play baseball. Just as the season is settling in, a terrible discovery is made—Buddy's puppies have mysteriously started disappearing with the help of the kidnappers' little helper, Rocky Raccoon. It turns out the kidnappers were researchers who were dognapping the puppies because they thought they had a special gene that would enable them to play sports. Buddy must find them and make it to the major leagues as he goes to bat for the Anaheim Angels.
