Dog Man Movie Featurette - A Look Inside
US Release Date: January 31, 2025
Starring: Pete Davidson, Isla Fisher, Lil Rel Howery
Director : Peter Hastings
Synopsis: When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve--and fetch, sit and roll over. As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief (Lil Rel Howery, Get Out, Free Guy), he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson; Saturday Night Live, The King of Staten Island). Petey's latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime stuff. 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. In the process, they discover the power of family (and kittens!) to bring even the most hostile foes together.

00:00Dogman!
00:01Seriously?
00:02Are you ready?
00:04What if we sew the dog's head onto the man's body?
00:10Dogman!
00:13Dogman is the head of the dog, a body of a human,
00:15and Dogman's trying to capture Petey, the world's most evilest cat.
00:20Suckers!
00:21I think Petey is a super cool relatable character,
00:24because he's very flawed and had a tough past,
00:27which made him rather evil and upset.
00:30Enough about this Dogman!
00:31I gotta take over the world!
00:33Buckle up!
00:35This super cop solves crimes and even plays piano for the old folks.
00:40I'm a big fan of the books,
00:42so I was familiar with all the characters and I was familiar with the world.
00:45How evil can one cat be?
00:47Pretty evil!
00:49A lot of adventures happen, it's a lot of action.
00:51It's really just really funny.
00:53Dogman!
00:54You have all the strengths of a dog and all the skills of a kung fu cop.
00:57You're the hero we need!
01:00Cut it out!
01:01Stop it!
01:04It was really important to stay true to the style of the books.
01:07The simpleness of the drawings, the way the lettering is done,
01:10all of these things are part of the comedy.
01:12Time to stop this super cop!
01:14What we ended up on was something that we call high-end handmade.
01:17We wanted everything to feel like it was hand-painted.
01:20I need another me!
01:22We want to retain that charm, so there are crooked lines, there's brush strokes.
01:26The character designs are very similar to the book.
01:28Dogman, go on a rest-painting!
01:31Why do you always gotta lick the inside of my mouth?
01:34It's just fun, it's a different type of animation.
01:36It's really beautiful, it's cool stuff.
01:38You guys are in for a treat.
