Friendship is the greatest adventure.
The animated buddy movie follows the misadventures of Don, a runaway puppet with boundless imaginations, and DJ Doggy Dog, an abandoned plush looking for a friend, who cross paths in Central Park and team up against all odds for a epic friendship adventure in New York.

If you're up on your Cervantes, then you will appreciate just why "Don" is fed up with being the butt of all the jokes amongst his puppet fraternity and so, in despair, sets off to tilt at a few windmills (without or without distressed ducklings). Along the way, he encounters the battery powered "DJ Doggy Dog" and they have some fun adventures together rescuing the needy. Meantime, back at their home the other puppets are under threat from two young burglars who want to kidnap and sell them. It's just by pure chance that our two dragon-defeating cavaliers stumble upon the warehouse where his erstwhile friends are being held captive. Can they figure out a way to save them from the bubblewrap? This is quite a fun action film that's peppered with some fun dialogue, imaginary derring-do and it delicately reinforces messages of team-playing, loyalty, family and not getting your electronic toys wet! The pace is quite good, the animation engaging to watch and though I'm not entirely sure what demographic it's aiming for, I still found it entertaining with a slightly more grown up "Pinocchio" style of storytelling.
