It's funny that Mabel Pines is also the voice of the lunchlady. I haven't seen the movie, but I have seen the designs of Edith. She's so adorable, and her shyness seems to stand out from a slew of mean-spirited school staff.

To be honest, as a fan of Captain Underpants...I didn't enjoy it. Now I wouldn't call it awful, or even really that bad. But I definitely was glad to leave the theater when it ended. OK that sounds bad, but let me explain. This is an example of being too faithful to the series overall. Now I know it mixes and matches parts of the books, which I suppose is a way to be more original, but I'm sorry, I didn't feel a good deal of surprise throughout the film. And that's a major issue. And as far as the humor goes, I wasn't a fan of it. It's not the immature toilet humor, that part comes with the books. It's more the rest of the humor for me. I think the reason it doesn't work is the delivery. They make what should be over-the-top extreme kid fantasies into sorta serious almost depressing kid fantasies in some place. I'm sure that's the intention due to the tone of the school, but it's not really fun to see. And when I said it's the delivery that doesn't work, it's also the voice acting, which is HORRIBLY distracting. Kevin Hart and Thomas Middlemitch sound nothing like children and I don't feel really make an attempt to. And because of that, I can't get invested in the characters. With that said, I don't condemn the movie, if you want to see it, you might like it, I just didn't. And to be fair, there is one very funny gag throughout the movie involving the secretary being put on hold. I won't give the rest of the joke away, but it's very funny. So that's my review. Glad you like it AniMat, but I personally can't get into it, despite my childhood nostalgia

Boy that voice acting is a problem, doesn't sound like kids at all. Should have been like Peanuts. Still better then Boss Baby

Finally, a good DreamWorks film.
