Dog Man, directed by Peter Hastings, well known for his work in animation with films such as Minus and Cortex and Kung Fu Panda, presents a blend of science fiction and action comedy. In this hybrid universe between human and animal, Dog Man explores themes that are both fun and touching, while offering a high-flying spectacle.
Dog Man will be released in cinemas from April 9, 2025.
Synopsis: When a policeman and his faithful canine companion are both injured in the line of duty, a surgical operation as senseless as it is miraculous binds them together forever, giving birth to the man who will henceforth be known as Dog Man. Since then, he's been as dedicated to serving his country as he is to retrieving what's thrown at him, sitting quietly or rolling on the ground. He strives to prove himself under this new identity to better impress his superior, by putting an end to the exactions of the infamous Petey the Cat. Never short of bad ideas, the feline has recently found nothing better than cloning himself to double his capacity to commit crimes. But things get complicated when Lil Petey, his very young clone, falls into the clutches of a common enemy. To save the little kitten, dog and cat reluctantly join forces in a race against time. They discover that family ties can bring together even the most hostile enemies.
Dog Man is aimed primarily at a family audience, with elements that will appeal to children and adults alike, not least thanks to its light-hearted humor. Fans of animated films such as The Incredibles or Zootopie will no doubt appreciate the mix of comedy andaction. The film stands out for the originality of its concept: a human-dog fusion, offering scenes full of twists and absurdity while tackling universal themes such as friendship and family ties. What also promises to make Dog Man a unique experience is the dynamic between dog and cat, traditionally opposites, who unite here in the face of a common enemy.
Peter Hastings' Dog Man promises to be one of the craziest cinema releases of 2025, combining humor, action and touching moments. With its duo of iconic actors and a script combining action, emotion and science fiction, this film has everything to please young and old alike. If you enjoyed The Minions or The Jungle Aces, Dog Man could well be your next must-see animated adventure.
