The director of the movie "Dog Man" emphasizes that the film brings charm, style, silliness, and madness. Just like in the books, once the exchange begins, Dog Man shows more dog behavior than human. The character's origins trace back to the first book of Captain Underpants, where Dog Man was the star of a comic created by two friends, George and Harold.
The filmmaker refers to the hand-drawn aspect of the movie as an extension of the Dog Man world, without completely reimagining it. Although it may sound crazy and absurd, the plot revolves around solving a problem by sewing the dog's head onto the man's body after an accident.
Peter Hastings, the director of the movie, explains that he is excited about the audience's experience with this high-quality film. Hastings, who made his film debut with this project, remained true to the sensibility of the original books written by two 10-year-old boys.
Hastings highlights that while Dog Man has the brain of a dog, he possesses human physical abilities and behaves peculiarly. The movie maintains the creative style of the books, with a design inspired by its charm, innocence, and silliness. The director takes pride in the breadth that the film encompasses, achieving authentic emotional moments.
The adventures of Dog Man last 89 minutes and are based on the character created by Dav Pilkey in the "Captain Underpants" books. The film stands out for its unique visual style and its transformation of everyday life into an exaggerated fantasy. The simplicity of Dog Man's drawings is part of its humor and charisma, elements highlighted by production designer Nate Wragg.
In Hastings' words, the film offers messages about life, family, doing the right thing, and maintaining a positive attitude. The movie upholds the canon of the books, attracting audiences to experience a family outing at the cinema.
