Underdog

In the 1970’s, I loved watching the Underdog cartoon. It was about a crime fighting superhero dog who wore a tights, a cape and a shirt with a giant letter U. Guess what, now it’s a Walt Disney movie, coming to theaters in August 2007. Who can forget Underdog's one-liner: "Have no need to fear. Underdog is here!"

The superhero canine with a gift for rhyme returns in an all new live-action re-imagination of the classic cartoon, "Underdog."

After an accident in the mysterious lab of scientist Dr. Simon Barsinister (Peter Dinklage), an ordinary beagle unexpectedly finds himself with unimaginable powers and the ability to speak. Armed with a fetching superhero costume, Underdog (voiced by comedian Jason Lee) vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of Capitol City and, in particular, one beautiful spaniel named Polly Purebread (voiced by Academy Award® nominee Amy Adams). When a sinister plot by Barsinister and his overgrown henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton) threatens to destroy Capitol City only Underdog can save the day.

Utilizing state-of-the-art CGI special effects mixed with live-action, "Underdog" flies into theaters in August 2007.
