One rainy day in April 2019, my phone buzzed and the caller ID lit up with “Supreme Court.” I stared at the two words for a moment. Was I in trouble? Then I remembered. A few months earlier, I’d sent Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor a letter inviting her to speak at the Mississippi Book Festival, which runs every August. Our offer was the same as it had been for other authors: a $250 stipend, a ride to and from the…

neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie to get ready for Dog Man, and it's one of the best examples of "stupidly fun". Sure, it can get a lil hyperactive and be next-level juvenal, but with the right mindset, this is all pure enjoyable silliness.

Big ones are: Batman Returns Spider-Man 2 The Suicide Squad The Lego Batman Movie The Dark Knight Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Thor: Ragnarok Into the Spider-Verse Dredd Big Hero 6 Captain Underpants Teen Titans Go to the Movies
neutral · AI labelView post →The latest from DreamWorks just dropped that's another adaptation of a Dav Pilkey book, this time focusing on a cop with the head of a dog. Just like Captain Underpants, it's very silly but a really fun film to watch. Anyway, here's my review of Dog Man.
neutral · AI labelView post →>make a Captain Underpants movie >call it the “first” movie, implying there will be more >makes a lot of money >does well with critics >never make a sequel no hate against the Dog Man movie bc they ARE in the same universe and im sure its amazing, but its been almost 10 years man
negative · AI labelView post →I'll even confess that, if it were released back when I was a kid and still reading the Captain Underpants books, it would've been one of my favorites movies. Younger me would go crazy for a movie like this.
positive · AI labelView post →rewatched the Captain Underpants movie last night so here's something I drew back in June for the movie's seventh anniversary 🌳💥 #captainunderpants
neutral · AI labelView post →You know what bothers me about the Bluey movie situation? The Peanuts Movie had the same 3D treatment. And so did Captain Underpants and Dog Man. Nobody complained about those movies. So why are we complaining now?
neutral · AI labelView post →Hello, my friends, here's some recent work that I have been putting in for my fan poster for a film version of Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot! Since Captain Underpants and Dog Man got their own respective movies, it only tracks that another Dav Pilkey creation gets a chance.
neutral · AI labelView post →I noticed my Dog Man review's been getting a little more dislikes than usual, or at least enough to influence the ratio a bit. Did I say an unpopular take about Dog Man or do they think Captain Underpants is a weaker film? I'm honestly confused as to what I did to upset people with that video.
neutral · AI labelView post →Another doodle dump as usual, I actually drew the Fourteen at like 4am after watching the entire Captain Underpants movie on tiktok, it was kinda peak. #oscnsfw #nsfwosc
positive · AI labelView post →Just got back from seeing #DogMan, and holy cow, this was one of the most entertaining films I've seen so far. The fact this film so self-aware about how immature it is really plays into its entertainment value. I think I might like this more than the Captain Underpants film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie! You know a movie is good when even author Dav Pilkey, who was decidedly hands-off with the production and only gave direct approval of the first draft of the script, absolute LOVED the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →While all the hate is stupid, one thing I like about how the movie looks is how perfectly they translated the show’s artstyle into a 3D space The only other movies that have done that well (At least in my opinion) are Captain Underpants & Dog Man by Dreamworks and Blue Sky’s Peanuts movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Very cute movie. I'm a bit partial towards Dreamworks' Captain Underpants film as I grew up with the books, but I enjoyed Dog Man for a similar sense of humor, surprising amount of heartfelt moments, and the fact that it was literally about dogs and cats.
positive · AI labelView post →Finished watching Dog Man, and what a damn good looking film. Like it didn’t need to be CG as much, but they did the same thing with Captain Underpants in a relatively similar style.

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't get the complaints behind the designs for the upcoming Bluey film. They look like their 2D designs, just translated to 3D. Should the animation have been more Peanuts/Captain Underpants/Dogman-ish? Sure! But it looks like a cute, serviceable film families are gonna have a blast with.
neutral · AI labelView post →Meanwhile Sony is over here with Spiderverse juggling dozens of types of animation mediums and live action and like 20 unique art styles all in the same two films. Every Dreamworks film series has it's own unique artstyle, Captain Underpants looks nothing like Puss in Boots or The Wild Robot.
neutral · AI labelView post →There are 2 other pieces of misinformation mixed up in this 1) Netflix removed the Captain Underpants movie to make room for Lesbian Space Princess Utter nonsense, that's not how contracts work And if you want to avoid spoilers stop here, just know the transphobia accusation is bs
neutral · AI labelView post →I am still peeved that there isn't a Captain Underpants movie sequel. Dog Man is fine and all, but the fanbase (of some kind) demand more Underpants. 😤
positive · AI labelView post →First, I'm confused as to why you'd need to segregate books and film by gender, these all have either a male or non-gendered lead: Captain Underpants, Nate the Great, Hal The 3rd Class Hero, The Hobbit, The Lord of The Rings, Treasure Island, Danny the Champion of the World, The Outsiders, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Percy Jackson (all 40 billion of the series), The Giving Tree, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Bridge to Terabithia, James and the Giant Peach, Holes (series), Where The Wild…
neutral · AI labelView post →Dog Man is a rather ironic film to use seeing as it’s adapted from a series by the same author as Captain Underpants (and indeed has the same sort of humor style, which is unsurprising as in-universe the Dog Man comics are written by the same “creators”).

You bet my diapered middle bum I'm gonna be reading this ASAP, hopefully my public library will have enough copies. Anyone else here excited about this news? Do you have any expectations?

neutral · AI labelView post →To wrap up my DreamWorks marathon (for right now anyways) I just saw Dog Man from the work of Dav Pilkey aka Captain Underpants and while I did read little of Dog Man I don't know enough to really say if the movie is that good because like with the Captain Underpants movie it plays it safe.
neutral · AI labelView post →As a kid, I was obsessed with the Captain Underpants book series, so you could imagine my excitement when *Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie* came out 7 years ago(!). "Dog Man" takes place in the Captain Underpants universe (it's one of the comics that George and Harold create), though as I've gotten older I haven't been able to keep up with the Dog Man books. Long story short, if this is anything like Captain Underpants, I'll be first in line to see this.

neutral · AI labelView post →Captain Underpants: The first epic movie (2017) You know, good on DreamWorks for flexing on this movie with 6 different styles of animation AND having an amazing Weird Al song that had me grooving immediately. It was a great movie, with three references to the books.

positive · AI labelView post →I quite enjoyed the Dog-Man movie, but my favorite Pilkey creation is still Captain Underpants.
positive · AI labelView post →Dog Man: The second Dav Pilkey film adaptation manages to hold on to the silliness of Captain Underpants while being visually creative, insanely hilarious, quite wholesome and well-acted.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Captain Underpants movie might be the last funny movie Kevin Hart was in
positive · AI labelView post →Sad thing is that Nick Kroll can be funny especially in other stuff[like the Captain Underpants movie] but his Netflix series are, in the words of Charles Barkley, Turrible.
