Adventures of Dally & Spanky on DVD
Inspired by the true animal friendship of a Jack Russell Terrier and a rescued miniature horse, the story of Dally & Spanky’s bond has captivated audiences. This sensational duo has generated millions of video views and is now the inspiration for this brand-new feature film!
Addy and Ella are teenage half-sisters with little in common. When 17-year-old Addy loses her father, she retreats from her family and struggles to deal with his loss. Ella, with her dog Dally, reaches out to create a bond with Addy and Spanky, the miniature horse she’s just inherited from her father.
Not only do the animals get along, but they quickly become a dynamic duo thanks to Addy and Ella’s training. Their act quickly goes viral and wins their high school talent show, bringing the girls closer!
Unfortunately, the family realizes that the cost to keep Spanky is too high and they’ll have to send him away. But Addy gets an idea and submits their routine to a popular TV talent show. Now, it’s all or nothing…and ANYTHING can happen!

Review
ADVENTURES OF DALLY & SPANKY is a very cute movie that the whole family can enjoy. I was a little skeptical at first because the movie does start a little slowly, but things really pick up once Spanky comes along. Dally and Spanky are so cute and talented, and the characters in the film are believable. There is a good chemistry among the cast members, and you feel like they really are a family.
I loved watching the girls train the animals to do the tricks as well as watching the family bond over a common goal. You’ll be cheering the girls and animals on.
This movie is rated PG for a couple of instances of language and a tragic event that happens off screen.
