Dog Man

“Dog Man” Trailer and Storyline

animation, based on a book, children movies, family movies, kid movies,

Directed by Emmy winner Peter Hastings, Dog Man is a canine-crime-fighting film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s New York Times bestseller. A faithful police dog and his human police officer owner get injured together on the job. A foolish but life-saving surgery fuses them, and Dog Man, voiced by Isla Fisher, is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect, serve, fetch, sit and roll over.  

As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief, voiced by Lil Rel Howery, he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat, voiced by Pete Davidson.

Petey’s latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime. 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. They discover the power of family (and kittens!) to bring even the most hostile foes together.  

Dog Man also stars Sarah Hatoff, Poppy Liu, Stephen Root, Billy Boyd and Ricky Gervais.

From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation: Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, and #1 New York Times bestseller The Wild Robot.

The epic adventure parallels Hayao Miyazaki’s storytelling without the Japanese filmmaker’s artistic, non-AI quality. 

Chris Sanders wrote and directed the film, which follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short.

The robot crashes on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to its harsh surroundings. Gradually, he builds relationships with the island’s animals and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.

The Wild Robot stars Lupita Nyong’o as robot Roz, Pedro Pascal as fox Fink; Catherine O’Hara as opossum Pinktail; Bill Nighy as goose Longneck; Kit Connor as gosling Brightbill and Stephanie Hsu as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island.

The film also features the voice talents of Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames.

It’s a powerful story about the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things.
