Space Buddies Plot Summary

What happens in Space Buddies from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The film opens with Buddha, voiced by [Field Cate], and his owner Sam, [Nolan Gould], gazing at the night sky. A shooting star streaks across the heavens, and Sam makes a simple wish: to touch the Moon.

The next day brings a school field trip to Vision Enterprises to watch a test launch of the Vision 1 spacecraft. The pets are not allowed to go, so Buddha invites his siblings—Rosebud, [Liliana Mumy], Budderball, [Josh Flitter], B-Dawg, [Skyler Gisondo], and Mudbud, [Henry Hodges]—to join the adventure. The noisy line between curiosity and rule-breaking nudges them to sneak aboard the school bus headed for Vision Enterprises.
