The trailer has landed. Looking forward to this, amazed at how closely they've followed the source material. Looks more like a Sony Animated film than a Dreamworks one, but this looks decent.

looks like they went down The Peanuts Movie art direction route.
however........................they really should have honestly hired kid voice actors.
but overall, i'm not liking it

The voices don't match up with the characters, always a pet peeve of mine. It is however competing against 'The Emoji Movie', which is really a 90-minute commercial.

This doesn't look terrible per se but it feels so late in the game. It should have come out a decade ago or close to it at least.

I'm 20 odd now and I loved the books and look back at them with fondness but I can't help but think how great this would've been if released, say 2003-2004-ish. Better late than never I suppose.

I could see this being decent for a kid flick. Showed it to my son and he was giggling throughout. He hasn't read the series, but it didn't seem to matter. The bright colors, animation and 💩 talk was a perfect combination to get kids to want to see this. It'll make $.

Wow, they finally made a Captain Underpants movie?
Loved the books and actually got giddy when I saw the toilet guy from the 4th(?) book. That said, I agree with everyone about the kid voicework. Then Ed Helms wouldn't have been my first, second, or twentieth pick for Underpants.
It also seems like DreamWorks is using their own brand of humor instead of Pilkey's, but I haven't read those books since I was a kid so I could be wrong.
