Air Bud Entertainment’s “Monkey Up” is available for digital download today and is available on DVD, and features Crystal the Monkey, from Night at the Museum films, We Bought A Zoo!
My kids LOVE the Air Bud Series of movies, we have seen them all multiple times. They were excited to see all the previews, and had hoped to see it during it’s limited run in our local theater, but basketball practices and games didn’t allow it. They will be excited to find out that the DVD is released TODAY, and mom has already gotten a copy to watch after school!
If you have someone in your family who is a BIG Air Bud fan, this is the place for you! I’ve gathered some Air Bud Craft Ideas, Air Bud Snack Ideas, Air Bud School Supplies, and Air Bud Party Supplies.
Air Bud Craft Ideas:
Paper Spring Dog
Puppy Face
Puppy Footprint
Handprint Monkey Valentine Craft for Kids
Monkey Paper Bag
We enjoy themed snacks while watching movies, or having parties. I whipped up these chocolate cupcakes, and used some items from my pantry to decorate them! Use extra chocolate icing as the “glue” to put them together.
For the Air Bud Cupcakes, you need Nutter Butters for the ears, edible Googly Eyes, Nilla Wafers for the mouth, and a M&M for the nose.
For the Monkey Cupcakes, you need to cut a Nilla Wafer in half for the ears, edible Googly Eyes, a Red M&M for the nose, and a Banana Runt for the mouth. Again, use extra chocolate icing as the “glue” to put them together.
They’re super simple to assemble, and would be great for a school party activity or craft activity at a birthday party.

With ticketing also by Fandango, AMC Theaters will show the Dove Foundation certified ‘Family Friendly’ film on 50 screens in top U.S. markets. This marks the first time Air Bud Entertainment has concurrently released a film in theaters and on home entertainment. MONKEY UP will debut on Digital HD January 19 and be released on DVD, February 2, 2016.
A hilarious and heartwarming movie for the whole family, MONKEY UP stars ‘Crystal’ the adorable and multi-talented Capuchin monkey that audiences have fallen in love with in dozens of film franchises including The Hangover and Night at the Museum. The exciting new adventure introduces Crystal’s character ‘Monty’ — the star of Monkey Up energy drink commercials…who dreams of breaking out of advertising to become an A list player on the Hollywood scene.
We’re thrilled to team up with Starlight Children’s Foundation,” said Anna McRoberts, President of Air Bud Entertainment. “Our company’s mission is to serve children and families and we are proud to support Starlight’s critical work in communities around the world,” McRoberts added. “Together with many great partners, Air Bud is happy to help Starlight make a difference to so many children and families.”

The exciting benefit theatrical run is sponsored in part by Diana’s Bananas, Inc. MONKEY UP is produced by Air Bud Entertainment, the creative force behind the #1 live-action, direct-to-video movies in the family category for decades. The production team has entertained generations with their hugely popular Air Bud and Air Buddies movies. MONKEY UP’s home entertainment release on Digital HD and DVD is through Air Bud Entertainment’s partnership with Alchemy, the leading independent film and television distributor.
MONKEY UP marks the first time Crystal the monkey has landed a starring role in a full length feature film. The movie has been rated ‘Family Friendly’ by The Dove Foundation – a recognition awarded to movies, DVDs, made for TV movies and specials, books and other entertainment products that portray and encourage positive values.

Synopsis
Meet Monty — a precocious actor, spokesperson and… a talking Capuchin Monkey! He’s the face of the energy drink, ‘Monkey Up,’ but he dreams of becoming the first award-winning monkey movie star. When the greedy owner of Monkey Up has other plans for Monty, the chase is on! He escapes with the help of his new family, the Andrews, and his hilarious primate siblings, Mort, Mooner, and Melody in an uproarious chase that proves Monty really is the ‘fast and the furriest’. Together they help Monty discover that fame and fortune come and go, but family is forever! MONKEY UP is rated ‘PG’ by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and has a suggested retail price of $14.99 (Canada $14.95.)About Starlight Children’s Foundation
