Two family films for young animal lovers premiere Tuesday on VHS and DVD. Having slam-dunked basketball, tackled football and scored at soccer, golden retriever Bud takes the field to help a young girl and her misfit school baseball team. Meanwhile, a bumbling scientist dog-naps Bud’s pups to isolate the “Super Sports Gene.” The fourth in the “Air Bud” franchise, “Seventh Inning Fetch” is the runt of the litter, but young children may delight in the animal antics and silly slapstick.

Disney’s ‘Lilo & Stitch’ shows comedic promise
The hilarious coming attractions for Disney’s PG-rated comedy “Lilo & Stitch,” opening Friday in theaters, are more entertaining than anything in the more epic “Atlantis.” This alien-out-of-water comedy seems more in the rollicking spirit of “The Emperor’s New Groove.”
Stitch, also known as Experiment 626, is superintelligent and superdestructive. An escapee from the Galactic Federation, he crash-lands in Hawaii, where he is befriended by Lilo, a young girl who is a bit of a handful herself.
