Dog Man (2025)

Part dog. Part man. All hero.

The #15 biggest box office hit of 2025 so far, Dog Man kicks off with a harebrained but life-saving operation that fuses a faithful police dog and his human police officer together as a new hero, sworn to protect and serve … and fetch, sit and roll over.

Dog Man has his hands full stopping the evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat, whose latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime stuff. But when Lil Petey falls into the clutches of a common enemy, the archenemies must 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.

A spin-off from Captain Underpants, DreamWorks’ adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s bestselling graphic novel series has already been nominated for the 2025 Kids’ Choice Award for Favourite Animated Movie and boasts an 81% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Dog Man is co-written and directed by Peter Hastings (The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pinky and the Brain), who also barks up a storm as the voice of Dog Man himself. Also listen out for Pete Davidson, Lil Rel Howery and Emmy winner Ricky Gervais (The Office) as evil genius Flippy the Fish.
