Well, Hollywood has gone and done it again. Summer of 2007 heralds the release of the Underdog movie. Apart from the fact that it emphasizes how there is no creative juice left in Hollywood, a movie about Underdog sounds good, no? Well, the loveable Shoeshine Boy turned superhero ain't what you remember.
Nope, he isn't animated anymore. Rather, they've gone "Babe" on him. Still, would have been interesting to see how they would get a real dog trained to shine a shoe or open a ring with a pill compartment (or even wear a ring). Of course, they'll work around this and make some sort of experiment gone awry be the cause of his superpowers. So he'll just be a regular dog. And Sweet Polly Purebred won't be an ace reporter, I'm guessing. She'll probably be some tarted up poodle. If they wanted to "improve" the original, they could have at least made Underdog a schnauzer!
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog!
