Captain Underpants Doll: 10

Product Information

I remember the days when hunting for little collectible toys in cereal boxes was part and parcel of my childhood, an important part of the breakfast ritual. I don't remember much of the details, but I know he was gonna be a massive, angry man who died, but came back to 'earth' to avenge those who wronged him. Nick Kroll, like Bill Hader, is one of those guys who'll surprise you with the versatility of his voice. Though the first film adapted the majority of the fourth book in the series ( The Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants), it did take other pieces from other books in the series, one being the Turbo Toilet 2000.

While the main threat that was teased at the end of the original film was the talking toilets, adding the villains from the third Underpants book, the naughty cafeteria ladies from outer space, would make a fine blend of horror and sci-fi for the sequel. They really did stick to the book and capture that, dare I say, crude hand drawn style which is obviously mimicking children's drawings.

I guess the best (and worst thing) I can say about this movie is the fact that it feels like it was a movie made for kids by kids.
