DreamWorks Animation acquires rights to Captain Underpants

Dealing with your father passing away is an insanely emotional time for anybody. Give the guy a break. :frowning:

I am not interested in this. why would they make a movie of Captain Underpants?

Because there are people who are interested, I suppose.

Wow. I know a movie that I never plan on seeing.

I remember Caption Underpants was fairly popular in my elementary school. But I didn’t really like the books. So I’ll probably skip this movie. I wish Dreamworks would do more original films and not ones based on books.

I completely agree! This just seems like an excuse for 1.5 hours of potty jokes to me. :unamused:

But its perfect for dreamworks. That’s their style.

I can’t tell if what you just said was a complaint or a praise of DW.

Kinda both, but leaning more on the complaint side. I know DW can make great films like HTTYD. But they seem to want to return to their Shrek days. And Captain Underpants would be perfect for them, even though I would hate to see them make it.

I’m kinda of a cautious DW fan. Its kinda hard to love them.

I know, but their past few movies, Megamind, How to train Your Dragon, Puss in Boots, were all good. It’s like taking a major step back.

I want them to make more films like HTTYD, and Megamind, and less like Shrek. But I don’t see it. I see them returning to the old days. Anything that they can franchise easily.
