Throw in an end-credits song by “Weird” Al Yankovic and you have a hit on your hands. The animation style is a good translation of what author/illustrator Dav Pilkey does with his books, including a Flip-O-Rama interlude. If it’s successful, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a trilogy of movies to cover all of the stories. There are twelve Captain Underpants books, with this movie covering the first four. I’m not the biggest fan of potty humor, but this movie isn’t for me it’s for six and seven and eight year olds who would happily guffaw at a villain’s last name being “Poopypants.” Rated PG, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is fine for younger audiences, as long as you’re OK with gross-out humor. Professor P (Nick Kroll) plans to use his giant mechanical toilet to crush the entire town unless Harold, George, or Captain Underpants can stop him. Harold and George think seeing their principal in nothing but his tighty whities and a makeshift cape is hilarious until an actual supervillain shows up in the guise of their new science teacher. Krupp believes he is Captain Underpants and he sets off to right wrongs. Imagine their shock when it works! Faster than you can say “Tra-La-La!” Mr. They hypnotize their principal with a magic ring. When he decides to place Harold and George in separate classrooms, they worry this will be the end of their friendship, so they do something drastic.
Krupp is a miserable, lonely man, who takes out his frustrations on Harold and George, yelling at them and confiscating their homemade comics whenever possible. Krupp (Ed Helms).Īny film that can make kids laugh while encouraging them to read books is worthy of praise, no matter how stinky the toilet humor gets. These two are mischievous hellions bent on making school days more fun with pranks on all of their teachers, including the principal of Jerome Horwitz Elementary, Mr. Harold (Thomas Middleditch) draws the comics while George (Kevin Hart) writes the stories.
