When Puppy Paws, the fun-loving son of Santa Paws, gets bored, he finds Budderball on Santa's naughty list and figures he's just the dog to show him how to be an ordinary pup. When the magical Christmas Icicle starts to melt however, and the world begins to forget the true meaning of the season, it's up to Puppy Paws and his newfound Buddies to journey back to the North Pole and save Christmas.

there was something uncanny about puppy paws eyes. or maybe it was just greg heffley’s spirit shining through.

I never thought anything would come close to the animal dialogue from 2013’s ‘A Talking Cat !?!’ but I was so terribly wrong.
Can’t believe some Disney executive watched that ice crystal scene and thought, yeah this is good to go
