Dog Man: Trailer Talk

From a Wolf Man to a…Dog Man? Another adaptation was revealed last week but, this time, it’s an adaptation of a children’s book. 

‘Dog Man’ is based on the best-selling series by Dave Pilkey (Captain Underpants series) that sees a police officer and his canine companion fused together after an accident. Now the police officer is a humanoid dog!

What I love most about this trailer is the animation style, which carries the same style as the 2017 adaptation of ‘Captain Underpants’. It makes sense that the animation style is connected to both properties since both adaptations are originally by the same author. But it translates perfectly with the art style of both book series.

Plus, it also looks funny: the humour looks like it will be based around the situation of the focal character, rather than opting for what most modern kids’ films do recently. Instead of fart jokes and slapstick, the jokes will revolve around the fact that the main character is now a humanoid dog that still has his canine instincts, e.g.: getting distracted by a squirrel during a chase sequence. 

Dreamworks Animation evidently know the source material when it comes to adapting ‘Dog Man’. And, after loving the adaptation of ‘Captain Underpants’, it’s great to see another series of Dave Pilkey come to life on the big screen and, once again, utilize the same animation style that was used in the previous Pilkey adaptation. This was an unexpected trailer to appear but, as someone who wants to see different animation styles used in film, it’s one that I welcome happily.
