Unleashing a New Hero
Get ready for a howl of a good time! This January 31, 2025, DreamWorks Animation is set to release ‘Dog Man,’ a film that promises to blend adventure, comedy, and the occasional wet nose. Imagine a film that’s part dog, part man, and all hero—sounds paw-some, right? Based on Dav Pilkey’s bestselling books, it’s a tale as old as time: a police dog and his human officer buddy become one and set out to save the day.
Dog Man: A Canine Crusader
After a disastrous day in the line of duty, our canine hero undergoes a zany surgery fusing him with his human—a move that produces Dog Man. Now, he’s got the instincts of a dog and some serious human bravado to boot! As he strives to impress his new chief (played by Lil Rel Howery), he’ll face off against Petey the Cat, a villainous feline with a knack for trouble and dim-witted cloning schemes.
An Unlikely Friendship
But don’t let the ‘man-dog’ trope fool you. The heart of this animated gem lies in the bond between Dog Man and lil Petey, a clone that turns out to be more than just a kitschy sidekick. They team up to tackle crime and, perhaps more importantly, learn a thing or two about friendship and family along their action-packed journey. Directed by Emmy winner Peter Hastings, ‘Dog Man’ promises laughs, twists, and plenty of fur as these unlikely allies go paw in paw to save the day.
So mark your calendars and treat your inner child (and any kids you know) to a night at the movies with ‘Dog Man.’ It’s bound to be a barking good time!
