Universal Pictures is excited to release the official trailer for Dog Man, part dog, part man, all hero.
From DreamWorks Animation 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, surgery fuses them, and Dog Man is born.
As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief, he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat. Petey’s latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime.
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 to bring even the most hostile foes together.
Dog Man also stars Isla Fisher as TV reporter Sarah Hatoff; Poppy Liu as Petey’s assistant, Butler; Emmy nominee Stephen Root as Grampa; Billy Boyd as Sarah’s cameraman, Seamus; and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Ricky Gervais as Flippy, the fish.
Dog Man has been directed by Emmy winner Peter Hastings, whose credits include the groundbreaking animated series Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. The film is produced by Karen Foster, who served as co-producer on DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon.
Launched in 2016 by Dav Pilkey, the Dog Man Scholastic series now includes 12 books. Dav Pilkey’s newest book in the Dog Man Series, Dog Man: Big Jim Begins, will be released in December.
DreamWorks Animation’s Dog Man will be distributed by Universal Pictures, and released on the 9th of January 2025.
