Film "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie" Trailer

[Firaga 5,947]

Didn't see a thread for this, so I figured I'd make one.

 

 

Add this to the list of superhero flicks i want to see but probably won't be able to.

If only this had been made when I was ten: I used to love these stupid books. I read most of them to rags.

The littest movie of 2017 

[Dustin Lübbers 933]

ääääääääähm okay....thats... a thing I guess

[KairiKeybasH 851]

Bad choice of music, but decent trailer. I never read the books but the characters look different from the usual Dreamworks looks.

Captain Underpants was the shit when I was a kid and in all honesty, this looks good.

[VisitJoan 2,713]

As a kid I wanted to read that books, but my mom convinced me it was inappropriate. As an adult, I realize the whole thing wasn't that bad.

Oh wow, Dreamworks is seriously making a movie out of this? I remember reading one or two of these books whenever I headed over to Marshall's! They were funny books with funny stories! It's pretty awesome to see that Captain Underpants is getting adapted into film! And I'm really digging that animation! It pops out from the usual CGI animation we see nowadays! This and the Boss Baby look awesome!

is it me or does Kevin Hart sound too old to play a kid.

 

 

looks good though.

[HeyMouseSayCheese 1,133]

Ehhhh, I dunno. The art style is perfect, but nothing about this strikes me as especially funny. If anything, it just makes me wanna go back and read all the books again (and no, I am not embarrassed to read children's books as a grown ass man, thank you).

What, and Ed Helms doesn't?

i think Ed Helms plays Captain Underpants in the movie.

Ah. That explains why he sounds younger than either of the children.

This is pretty much the same humor in the books from what I remember.

I'm not really seeing it?  Like, in the books Mr. Krupp and Professor Poopypants (god that is weird to type out in a normal discussion) aren't wacky and don't do funny things themselves, but the trailer makes it look like they're both wacky characters doing wacky shenanigans, and isn't that wacky???

 

Plus a lot of the jokes that worked in the books were set up by the narrator, not an actual character. Unless they do like A Series of Unfortunate Events and have someone literally play the part of Narrator, I don't see how they're gonna capture the same feel.

The entire series is wacky. And those two aren't sane by any comparison, just re-read everything they've done in the books, they're full-on mental.

It will if they're still funny jokes. Doing the Boke and Tssukomi routine doesn't require specific types of people, just a straight man and wise guy. As long as you fill those two slots, they can be anybody.

Not saying they are, just that they don't crack jokes all the time like the trailer implies they're going to be doing.

Ehhhh, I don't know if I believe comedy is really that simple. There're different types of humor, and I remember the books being much dryer than this trailer looks (though I could be remembering them wrong).
