Popular children’s book character Dog Man is getting his own feature film, which will hit theaters in early 2025. Ahead of the film’s big screen release, Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation have released a new trailer that gives audiences an early look at the film.
Dog Man is a 2016 film based on the best-selling book series by Captain Underpants author Dav Pilkey. It is about a loyal police dog and his human police officer owner. Pete Davidson, Billy Boyd, Ricky Gervais, Isla Fisher, Poppy Liu, Stephen Root and Lil Rel Howery all voice the film.

The film is the most recent production from DreamWorks, the animation company known for popular series such as How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda. The animation in the film closely resembles the visual style found in the books, with some changes to give the characters a more three-dimensional aspect.
According to the official synopsis, Dog Man follows an accidental but life-saving surgery that unites a devoted police dog and his human police officer owner, who are both injured on the job.
Dog Man vows to rescue and assist as well as play fetch, sit and roll over. In addition to trying to impress his Chief (Lil Rel Howery) and accept his new role, Dog Man has to thwart the cunning schemes of feline supervillain PT the Cat (Pete Davidson). PT’s most recent scheme involves cloning himself to become Lil PT, a kitten, in order to increase his capacity for criminal activity. However, things become more difficult when Lil PT unexpectedly teams up with Dog Man.
However, things get more complicated when Lil Petey unexpectedly teams up with Dog Man. Reluctantly teamed up, Dog Man and Petey embark on a thrilling race against time to rescue the little kitten Lil Petey from the clutches of a mutual enemy. In the process, they learn how even the bitterest of enemies can be resolved by family (and cats!).
In 2016, the Dog Man book series began. Since then, more than 60 million copies have been sold in total, and there are currently 12 installments in the series. On December 3, Dog Man: Big Jim Begins, the next installment in the series, will be published.
