Well I'm going to do something different I'm going to do the ABC of Disney Movies.
My first Movie pick will be
Air Bud
Plot of the Movie:
A young boy and a talented stray dog with an amazing basketball playing ability become instant friends. Rebounding from his father's accidental death, 12-year-old Josh Framm moves with his family to the small town of Fernfield, Washington. The new kid in town, Josh has no friends and is too shy to try out for the school basketball team. Instead he prefers to practice alone on an abandoned court, he befriends a runaway golden retriever named Buddy. Josh is amazed when he realizes that Buddy loves basketball...that is playing basketball...and he is GOOD! Josh eventually makes the school team and Buddy is named the Team Mascot. Josh and Buddy become the stars of halftime. Buddy's half-time talent draws media attention. Unfortunately, when Buddy's mean former owner, Norm Snively, comes along with a scheme to cash in on the pup's celebrity, it looks like they are going to be separated.

Quotes:
[Courtcase of Snively versus Framm, just started and Timberwolves coach, Arthur Chaney just walked into the courtroom, un-expectedly]
Arthur Chaney: Why not let the dog choose, Your Honor? They say a dog is man's best friend. If that's the case, shouldn't the dog be able to choose who he wants to be friends with?
Judge Cranfield: Who are you, Barnum or Bailey?
Arthur Chaney: Arthur Chaney, Your Honor.
Judge Cranfield: Mister Chaney, do you reali...
[Judge Cranfield stammered, in shock]
Judge Cranfield: Arthur Chaney? New York Knicks, '56? Huh, I was at that Celtics game where you did the turn around jumper, at the buzzer.
[light chuckle]
Judge Cranfield: I spilt beer all over my wife.
[light laughter in the courtroom]
Bailiff: Your Honor?
Judge Cranfield: What? Oh, yes, yes, yes.
[Judge Cranfield then cleared his throat]
Arthur Chaney: Well, I've been thinking. This dog is what, three, four years old. That makes him an adult, in our years. I say let Buddy decide.
[court members mummur after hearing this advice]
Judge Cranfield: Mister Chaney, during my forty years on the bench, I have heard a lot of lamebrain cockamanie proposals. But this one I like.
[Norm Snively and Josh Framm were then both sent outside, to see who Buddy would respond to and be Buddy's current owner]
