LOS ANGELES, CA (Aug. 1, 2017) – Hold onto your capes! Based on the bestselling book series by Dav Pilkey, DreamWorks Animation presents CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE. “…One of the funniest, most heartwarming films of the year” (William Bibbiani, Crave Online). Certified Fresh on RottenTomatoes.com, this outrageous family comedy tells the story of two overly imaginative best friends, George (Kevin Hart) and Harold (Thomas Middleditch), who hypnotize their principal (Ed Helms) into thinking he’s the hero from their comic books: Captain Underpants. CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE also features the voice talent of Nick Kroll as Professor Poopypants.

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE is directed by David Soren (Turbo) with Mireille Soria and Mark Swift serving as producers.

The epic adventure continues with 30+ minutes of action-packed special features on CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS HERO EDITION. From engaging features, such as “The Really Awesome Adventures of Captain Underpants” Motion Comic and “The Professor Poopypants (Totally Original and Supercool) Guide to Being a Villain” to riotous deleted scenes, to a lyric video from “Weird Al” Yankovic and a Q&A with the film’s stars, the hilarity never stops!
