@PhilFilmH2O @chrismctavish

@chrismctavish @PhilInFilm This movie is filled with philosophy: The Pups are taken to a cave of the Great Christmas Icicle (Plato’s cave perhaps?), where they learn how magic is used, and how the Christmas Magic in the icicle is used to power the magic crystals. (Praxeology, but for dogs?)

Hey @PhilInFilm, if you ever want to see your water bottle again, do an episode on Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups.

@chrismctavish @PhilFilmH2O Google Answers suggests that parts of this movie could be “Extremely horrifying and traumatizing to young viewers”. What kind of monster(s) are we dealing with?

@PhilFilmH2O @PhilInFilm What is going on here? What will my “Philosopher’s Corner” be?

@PhilFilmH2O @chrismctavish The RCMP have not been overly helpful, but the detective with our case file asked why the bottlenapper would request “Santa Paws 2” instead of “Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws”? Can you shed some light on that?

@PhilFilmH2O We are considering your demands…

Hey @PhilInFilm !! Why you ignoring this!? Last chance

@PhilFilmH2O I knew this would happen! Looks like we’re doing Santa Paws II. Tough to do the sequel without covering the original though.

Nice bottle you’ve got here @PhilInFilm… would be a shame if something happened to it. Santa Paws II: The Santa Pups… or else.
