S'more
An alternative method for preparing the s’more is by heating the entire object in the microwave. Advantages of this method include the speed, relative ease of preparation, and the increased amount of melted chocolate. This method softens the graham cracker, which is distasteful to some. This method often removes the social element of preparation, which causes some to shy away from it.

Space Buddies
This is the first film in the Air Bud franchise to not have any appearances from Buddy, Molly, or any of the Framm family. No explanations have been made why they did not appear in this film. It is possible however that Robert Vince may be trying to keep the original characters out because the Buddies have nothing to do with the original “Air Bud” series as the same with the original...

However,...
