HALIFAX – DHX Media has signed a deal with Air Bud Entertainment for the global distribution rights to the Air Bud franchises, the live-action, direct-to-video movies starring a host of talking dogs and other animals.
The deal includes15 films (43 half-hours of content), from the original Air Bud hit movie almost 20 years ago to the all-new release Pup Star (pictured), currently available on Digital HD and arriving on Netflix in the U.S. and other territories in late October.
“These family films are heavy on both the cute and comedy factors, making them perfectly pitched for wide international appeal”, said DHX Media distribution SVP Josh Scherba, in the news release. “Air Bud has a preeminent reputation for animal-starred adventure films and these 15 titles make a strong addition to the DHX Media distribution library.”
