From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, the wildly popular animated comedy adventure DOG MAN—the graphic novel film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s literary phenomenon—is now available exclusively on digital platforms to own or rent beginning February 18, 2025. The film will later debut on Blu-ray™ and DVD on April 1, 2025.
What is Dog Man?
From DreamWorks Animation—the creative force behind How to Train Your Dragon and The Wild Robot—comes DOG MAN, a tail-wagging, action-packed adventure that’s perfect for the whole family. When a dedicated police dog and his human officer are injured on duty, a harebrained surgery fuses them together, creating the part-man, part-dog hero: Dog Man! As he embraces his new identity and works to impress his Chief (played by Lil Rel Howery from Get Out), Dog Man must thwart the villainous Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson, Saturday Night Live), who plans to clone himself and create an evil kitten with double the mischief. But when an unexpected bond forms between Dog Man and the kitten, they discover that even the most unlikely family can unite to overcome evil.
Directed and written by Peter Hastings (The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness), the film stars:
- Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Rango)
- Poppy Liu (Hacks, The Afterparty)
- Stephen Root (Barry, King of the Hill)
- Billy Boyd (from Lord of the Rings, Seed of Chucky)
- Ricky Gervais (The Office, Extras)
Produced by Karen Foster, DOG MAN is filled with humor, heart, and plenty of high-octane action.
