Dog Man - In Theaters January 31

Part dog, part man, all hero.

*Dog Man* is a beloved graphic novel series created by Dav Pilkey, which tells the story of a unique crime-fighting hero who is half-dog, half-man. The origin of Dog Man is both comical and touching: when a police officer and his dog are badly injured in an explosion, doctors combine the dog’s head with the officer’s body to save their lives. The result is Dog Man, a goofy yet brave character who retains his canine instincts while working to fight crime.

The series is set in a world filled with zany characters, villains, and hilarious situations. Dog Man’s biggest foe is Petey the Cat, an evil mastermind who is always scheming to cause trouble. Throughout the series, Petey's antics provide plenty of humor and challenges for Dog Man to overcome. Despite his enemies and occasional misunderstandings due to his dog-like behavior, Dog Man remains dedicated to keeping the city safe.

Beyond the humor and action, *Dog Man* also explores themes of loyalty, friendship, and justice. The series appeals to young readers with its energetic illustrations, fast-paced stories, and silly jokes, but it also carries positive messages about teamwork and doing the right thing. Dav Pilkey's playful storytelling style and inventive artwork make *Dog Man* a favorite for kids, especially those who enjoy reading about superheroes and animals. The combination of its heartwarming moments and laugh-out-loud humor has cemented *Dog Man* as a modern classic in children's literature.

From DreamWorks Animation—creators of the beloved blockbuster franchises Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon and The Boss Baby—comes the canine-crime-fighting film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s New York Times bestselling literary phenomenon: Dog Man.

When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve—and fetch, sit and roll over.

As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief (Lil Rel Howery, Get Out, Free Guy), he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson; Saturday Night Live, The King of Staten Island). Petey’s latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime stuff. Things get complicated, though, when Lil Petey forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man.

When Lil Petey falls into the clutches of a common enemy, Dog Man and Petey reluctantly join forces in an action-packed race against time to rescue the young kitten. In the process, they discover the power of family (and kittens!) to bring even the most hostile foes together.
