Universal and DreamWorks Unveil Dog Man Movie, a Captain Underpants Spinoff

The much-anticipated Dog Man movie is slated for release on January 31, 2025, as officially announced by Universal and DreamWorks. This animated adaptation, derived from Dav Pilkey’s immensely popular Dog Man book series, was first revealed to be in development in late 2020. A spinoff from Pilkey’s beloved Captain Underpants franchise, Dog Man has achieved tremendous success with eleven books sold worldwide, totaling over 60 million copies. Directed by Peter Hastings, known for his work on Animaniacs and The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, the film’s cast details remain undisclosed.

The captivating narrative of Dog Man unfolds when a dog and a police officer undergo a life-altering surgery after being injured on the job, leading to the birth of the titular character. A unique blend of canine and human, Dog Man is dedicated to protecting and serving, unless sidetracked by his weakness for squirrels. His relentless pursuit of the feline supervillain, Petey the Cat, takes an unexpected turn with the introduction of Lil Petey, an adorable kitten clone of Petey, altering the dynamics of their rivalry.

Within the Captain Underpants universe, Dog Man’s story is crafted by protagonists George Beard and Harold Hutchins. Pilkey’s imaginative storytelling has also spawned a successful spinoff, Cat Kid Comic Club, with five books to its name.

In a 2020 interview, Hastings expressed his enthusiasm for the project, citing the enduring appeal of Captain Underpants. He emphasized his commitment to preserving the essence of Pilkey’s original material while infusing his creative touch into the animated adaptation. Hastings acknowledged Pilkey’s penchant for storytelling innovation and creativity, and he aimed to capture the spirit of the books in bringing Dog Man to the screen. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly anticipate experiencing the whimsical world of Dog Man in a cinematic adventure that promises to stay true to its beloved source material.
