DOG MAN | Official Trailer

Dog Man - In Theatres January 31

Part dog, part man, all hero.

From DreamWorks Animation—creators of the beloved blockbuster franchises Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon and The Boss Baby—comes the canine-crime-fighting film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s New York Times bestselling literary phenomenon: Dog Man.

When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve—and fetch, sit and roll over.

As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief (Lil Rel Howery, Get Out, Free Guy), he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson; Saturday Night Live, The King of Staten Island). Petey’s latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime stuff. Things get complicated, though, when Lil Petey forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man.

When Lil Petey falls into the clutches of a common enemy, Dog Man and Petey reluctantly join forces in an action-packed race against time to rescue the young kitten. In the process, they discover the power of family (and kittens!) to bring even the most hostile foes together.

Dog Man also stars Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Rango) as TV reporter Sarah Hatoff; Poppy Liu (Hacks, The Afterparty) as Petey’s assistant, Butler; Emmy nominee Stephen Root (Barry, King of the Hill) as Grampa; Billy Boyd (the Lord of the Rings franchise, Seed of Chucky) as Sarah’s cameraman, Seamus; and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Ricky Gervais (The Office, Extras) as Flippy the fish.

Dog Man is directed by Emmy winner Peter Hastings (The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness), whose credits include the groundbreaking animated series Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. The film is produced by Karen Foster (Spirit Untamed), who served as co-producer on DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon.

Launched in 2016 by Dav Pilkey—the #1 global bestselling author and award-winning illustrator of the Captain Underpants books—the Dog Man Scholastic series now includes 12 books. The series has more than 60 million copies in print and has been translated into 47 languages. Cat Kid Comic Club, a spin-off of Dog Man launched in 2020, has also topped bestseller lists around the world. The most recent Dog Man book, Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea, was overall the #1 bestselling children’s book in the U.S. in 2023, across all children’s formats and ages. Pilkey’s newest book in the Dog Man Series, Dog Man: Big Jim Begins, is set to release on December 3, 2024.

DreamWorks Animation’s Dog Man will be distributed by Universal Pictures.

Things I’m happy about:

1: They didn’t throw in a random actor to voice Dog man and kept him silent
2: They added Flippy as Chiefs pet :)
3: They added the fact that Dog Man always licked Chief when returning from lunch.
4: They remembered the lore that he became THE Dog Man by the bomb.
5: They added Pilkeys humor.
6: Peteys lab looks EXACTLY like the books.
7: They added the Supra vacuum cleaner
8: It’s Pilkeys style


CAN JANUARY HAPPEN ALREADY?

[thegamingbros]

Not just sequel potential, not just trilogy potential, but possibly a whole franchise

[Salty-fjdt]

Dear DreamWorks and Universal, we thank you for not ruining our childhood


Take notes Warner brothers

[jayemar]

The best part about this movie is that it’s not trying to be anything more than stupid fun, and that’ll make it even better

[godaxolotl]

My childhood is returning. Chiefs voice actor is amazing

[Harry_]

Already better then the minecraft movie

[Iwillwreakhavoc]

I remember years back when I read the entire series (before Catkid Comic Club books), and my classmates saying, “A Dogman movie is coming out really soon!!!” I, naturally, believed it, but there was no sign of even a teaser of the movie for years. Until this.
Dogman was my childhood, and I cannot WAIT to watch it!

[Dandon]

Petey already looking like a top tier Dreamworks villain

[ScooterPlayz]

The animation… the detail.. the relation to the books… the humor….. this movie is *_PERFECT._*

[dookieface]

babe wake up another stylized movie with a unique blend of 2d and 3d animation just dropped

[sillyshouldersheep]

the books just kept alternating between having the cop's head fully bandaged or just his eyes not bandaged. FULLY BANDAGED IS THE TRUE ONE NOW

[Unicatmech]

Chef got the exact voice I would imagine him to have

[Ocro]

Dog Man has always been my childhood, and it was even the entire school's greatest craze back in 2018. Anyone who has a Dog Man book instantly becomes the popular kid of the week. Pretty surprised to see Dog Man randomly getting a whole movie now, and even more pleasantly surprised to see how promising it looked, while sticking close to the original plot lines!

[CasonTubeLovesGumball]

Oh my God 😭 we have been waiting for our lives for this dog Man movie and it looks just like Captain underpants and it's so awesome, the wild robot was not the last DreamWorks movie,

[tabi]

They did Pete’s voice so well even the laugh

[InkerRopes]

1:25 anyone notice floppy here? In the bowl?

[Astra-Playz]

These adaptations are cooking recently. The Wild Robot, Sonic 3, and now DOG MAN. The only adaptation that isn't good is the Minecraft Movie

[Myki-o]

when I first saw this in my recommended, I thought "for sure this is fake" but I still clicked it. I am very happy that I clicked it

[Dreamglitch]

We had Captain Underpants so we had to have a DogMan

[slapbattlesnerd-bwbx]

There's no way we're getting dog man's movie before gta six.
