We caught up with filmmaker Robert Vince at CinemaCon to discuss Air Bud Returns, the highly anticipated theatrical return of one of the most beloved family franchises of all time.
Air Bud Returns brings audiences back to Fernfield, where heart, humor, and inspiration once again take center stage. The newest chapter reunites generations of fans with the iconic golden retriever who proved there’s still no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball.
In this interview we discuss:
• Why now was the right time to bring Air Bud back to theaters
• The timeless family themes that continue to connect with audiences
• Building a film for both longtime fans and a new generation
• The legacy of the Air Bud and Air Buddies universe
• Thoughts on animals receiving more recognition in entertainment, including Indy’s award-winning performance in Good Boy
Air Bud Returns hits theaters January 22, 2027.
