Do you have a dog lover in the house? We do! Peyton loves dogs and all things dogs. She’s actually just a huge pet lover in general. But one of her favorite things to watch is movies with dogs in them. We also love musicals too. So when I saw that Pup Star: World Tour was a dog movie with singing I knew we were going to have to watch this!
Pup Star: World Tour is part of the very popular Pup Star franchise. This time, the pups are hitting the road and singing their little doggie hearts out. It’s a spin on the popular singing competition shows, just with dogs. Pup Stars takes audiences around the world, as the action-packed spin on popular TV singing competitions goes global when ‘Tiny,’ the adorable singing Yorkie pup, packs her bags for far-away places from Africa to India and beyond. Along the way, Tiny and her fellow judges find a rich tapestry of fantastic new songs and meet exciting new canine singers, including ‘Julio, a Mexican heartthrob who’s not all he appears to be, but ultimately helps them discover that music really is the universal language that brings us all together as one pack, one voice, singing in harmony!
Here’s a little more about it from the press release I received –
