The film is the third installment in the Space Dogs franchise, a sequel to the 2013 film Space Dogs: Adventure to the Moon and a trequel to the original record breaking film Space Dogs. The film is the final installment that marks the establishment of the Space Dogs trilogy. Loosely based on true events, the film depicts Soviet space dogs Belka and Strelka, who are the world's first animals who were sent into space and survived the trip (on board the Korabl-Sputnik 2 mission in 1960). The film portrays the historical characters in a lighthearted comedy animation film.
The film is set in outer space and then on planet Earth, where the Soviet command sends Belka and Strelka on a reconnaissance mission to Cuba; there, a mysterious tornado has begun to pull in water off the coast of the island. The astronauts dive into the Caribbean Sea to solve the mystery.
Space Dogs: Return to Earth was released in Russia on 24 September 2020 and the UK on 11 December 2020.[2] Epic Pictures distributed the film in North America on 2 April 2021. Critics from domestic and international countries had generally positive reviews for the film.
