Part man, part dog, and all hero, the animated film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s beloved Dog Man graphic novel series has arrived, and it’s a howling success! Directed by Peter Hastings, known for his work on The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants and Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Dog Man delivers a perfect mix of humor, action, and heart that will captivate audiences of all ages.
After a brave police dog and his human partner are injured in the line of duty, an unconventional surgery fuses them into a single, heroic being—Dog Man! As Dog Man navigates his new identity, he must also thwart the evil plans of Petey the Cat (voiced by Pete Davidson). When Petey attempts to clone himself, the story takes a twist, leading to an unexpected bond between Dog Man and the kitten clone. This heartwarming turn highlights the power of family and redemption.
The film features an impressive voice cast, including Lil Rel Howery as the Chief, Isla Fisher as Sarah, Poppy Liu, Stephen Root, Billy Boyd, and Ricky Gervais. Each actor brings their character to life with charm and humor, adding depth to the film’s fun and adventurous tone.
DreamWorks Animation, the studio behind hits like How to Train Your Dragon, has truly outdone itself with Dog Man. The animation is vibrant and lively, capturing the whimsical, playful spirit of Pilkey’s original illustrations. The film combines realistic textures with cartoonish expressions, making it visually appealing to both kids and adults alike.
