Unleashed! Cinema Corner - Underdog
Disney Studios has teamed up with Spyglass Entertainment to bring the classic TV cartoon Underdog, originally created by Buck Biggers and Chet Stover, to the big screen. The film follows a dog named Shoeshine Boy that is endowed with superpowers as the result of a lab accident. The dog is then adopted by a 12-year-old boy who becomes his best friend and shares the secret that mild-mannered Shoeshine Boy is really the super pup, Underdog. Fans of the original will be happy to know that mad scientist Simon Barsinister and Underdog’s inamorata, Sweet Polly Purebred, will be seen in the silver screen version. Shooting is under way, so Underdog will soon save the day!
