I'm a nostalgia blogger working on a video series about Air Bud Entertainment. Follow for behind-the-scenes updates and random musings about cartoons, art, music, etc.

By now I've watched Air Bud multiple times for the sake of taking notes and finding new details to point out. What I haven't done before today is watch it with the 2009 Buddies Dog-U-Commentary. And, uh, this commentary contains some wild implications about the Air Bud Cinematic Universe. (Aside from the talking dogs, of course.) But that all will be left unaddressed until I approach the Buddies era itself so I can write about Air Bud as a standalone film. It's just good to have a set of notes hinting at where exactly this series is going.

Some cleaning of the future film area (my bedroom) has been done today. I'm recovering from an intense depressive episode, so unfortunately I am stuck with the consequences of past-Looka's actions (letting my room become a biohazard). However, this project has been a good motivator to push through the rough patches and recover more smoothly, even if I'll have to spend a few more days chipping away at my own mess.

It's been years since I've actually watched a VHS tape, so I have a question: Did VHS movies tend to have bonus content or featurettes that would play after the credits? I would assume not because of the linear play format, but if there may be something worth preserving and discussing on these VHS tapes, I might go through the effort of digitizing them.

in reply to @lookaloona's post:

As a kid, some of my classic-era (not renaissance-era) Disney movie VHS tapes had documentaries about how the movie was made after the credits ended - I remember being excited seeing the reference footage used to plan the prince fighting the dragon in Sleeping Beauty, seeing the multi-plane camera used for Bambi, etc...

I would literally sit through the credits just to watch them.

I don't know if those documentaries are even available anywhere? I remember being disappointed to not find them on later DVD releases of the same movies. They had their own special features, but they felt... dumbed down, somehow.

That's interesting and exciting to know! I'll definitely give the VHS tapes a look then. I already have the tapes for collection purposes, so I'll see about capturing them to my hard drive.
