    Disgusting junk that ruined the entire Pup Star franchise after Pup Star World Tour!! The character Julio was made to look like a bad dog in that last sequel so much that he ended up as a member of “The Mean Team”. Also very Bad CGI effects and terrible storyline. Due to this film’s terribleness, the original Pup Star was officially removed and banned from my library of films. Robert (Crapert) Vince has now become completely untalented after the original Air Bud Series officially ended with Super Buddies in 2013. It’s just that obvious enough that he has!
