Captain Underpants - REVIEW (spoiler free!)

Dreamworks latest & probably most unique film to date is Captain Underpants - books I used to read as a kid, but how will a film adaptation pan out?

Actually, Lewtoons, Captain Underpants got his powers in the third one, where he drank that milk from the lunch cafeteria aliens. (Wow, I can't believe I still remember that)

[TCMACK]

I can understand not liking this. BUT HOW THE HECK IS "BOSS, DREAMWORKS AT THEIR WORST, BABY" HIGHER THAN THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE AND STILL AT NUMBER 1???!!!

Ya know, I recently reread the books (even though I'm well out of the age for when toilet humor was the only humor I liked) and I've got to say, I really enjoyed them. The books aren't ALL toilet humor. The writing can be pretty clever sometimes, making me chuckle out loud. So, I don't know, but I still really want to see this movie

[jayceemaquack]

Honestly, I remember the fourth-wall humour being really prevalent in the books as well. I'm happy that it was translated pretty well.

I'll just pretend Boss Baby isn't number one

[tiablue]

In my onion, way better than Boss Baby

My top 3 animated films of the year
1. Captain underpants
2. the lego batman movie
3. the boss baby

[ZackTheLightningNinja]

Actually, in the books, Captain Underpants doesn't get any actual superpowers until book like 3 or 4 when he drinks some alien juice.

WHY IS BOSS BABY OVER LEGO BATMAN, WHAT DID I MISS?

[lindenbree]

So this is one of the few movies where "It's a kid's movie" is a valid excuse. Since it's still, well, actually good. But... clearly better enjoyed by kids

Last time I was this early, Lewtoons still made countdown videos.

I was worried when this Movie was coming out cause I had a feeling people weren't going to like it cause of the Potty Humor. But I watched it, and I liked it. I loved some of the Jokes and Mostly the background Gags that I would catch myself being the only one laughing at them. Honestly, the Movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

At this rate the Emoji Movie will unironically be Lewtoon's number #1 animated movie of the year.

[CottonCandyBoi]

I will say, I think you missed some of the messages that it did have. Like George and Harold grow up a little bit by the end by excepting that if they get moved to a different classroom it's not the end of the world or the main thing, that the only reason Mr. Krupp was sad, mean, and cruel was because he was lonely and how George and Harold help him in the end. Now it might of helped that I read the books, all of them in fact, but I thought they nailed in perfectly with the jokes and not just the potty humor. Like when the secretary is on hold the entire movie, I fond that hilarious. Last thing is I like how it was self aware because George and Harold were a little bit in the books. That is all. (And he gets his powers in the 3rd book by drinking Alien Super Power Juice.)

As someone who don't know Captain Underpants. I actually enjoyed my time. While the poopy/fart jokes only got a smirk or a small snort out of me. I have a weakness for 4th wall breaking characters so I was surprised seeing those two kids interact with us. :)

[lightninglady]

I love the animation in this movie though

[randylahey]

as much as I found the movie hilarious, I felt it would've been better if it were a hand - drawn animated series in the early 2000s. Heck, I could see this being on YTV or Nickelodeon in the early - mid 2000s.

Under Boss Baby???
I'm sorry are you crazy???

[yoshibull]

I got an ad for TTG before the video started, and StarFire said, *"T H I S I S T H E C R I N G E"*







That ad makes me wanna die.

[TindraSan]

wait...you liked boss baby? that movie had the worst tone problem of any movie this year! it was creepy and it gave me emotional whiplash!
