Quite implausibly this film has an IMDB rating of 6.1 so my faith in that system is shaken. It is truly risible, with no redeeming features, apart from the fact that it is completely inoffensive so young children could enjoy it. That said, even small children might be offended by the low quality CGI. In some scenes the dog is clearly stuffed but because the actors are talking we're perhaps not supposed to look at that part of the screen.
The plot, although I'm being generous suggesting there is much of one, is solely in support of the title, and leads up to a final, and rather limp, finale, involving an airborne dog. Given that there are 80 minutes between the only two instances of a flying robot dog it is a bit rich using 'airborne' in the title. That said, they did get away with killing off the real dog in the original by leaving him in a hot attic, and the authorities not prosecuting!
Adult score: 1/5
Child score: 4/5
First thing the child said when the film finished: I'm hungry
