Underdog: The movie! Sorta...

*Raph's Girl* · 08-10-2005, 12:30 PM

Disney and Spyglass Entertainment are in negotiations with helmer Frederik Du Chau to direct the live-action, big-screen version of TV's animated Underdog, which will feature a computer-generated title character, Variety reported.

Reportedly the film would center around "a diminutive hound named Shoeshine who gets superpowers after a lab accident. When he's adopted by a 12-year-old boy, the two form a bond around the shared knowledge that Shoeshine is really Underdog."

Raph's Girl note: Look folks!! A movie named Underdog that has nothing to do with the plot of the original animated series it's trying to copy! WTF?!

Yep, old news.

Sounds like Krypto the Movie...

Sounds like Sh*t: The Movie, also known as almost every other Summer kids movie to come out of an American studio in recent memory.

I know this is an old thread, but I found this out a couple months ago, myself. Plus I just found out the forum reopened. Shock and Mortification were the only things that came to mind. Say what you will about the Bullwinkle movie, they followed the old cartoon show, and they had a CGI Moose and Squirrel, not actual live animals. I mean, it was bad enough that Disney's Inspector Gadget featured an animal version of Brain, but this... this is unworkable. I hate Disney. Hey... make a movie where Mickey is a real mouse, if you want to screw an old cartoon up.

You said it! I can just picture it. "Underdog, you taught me to believe in myself!"
