The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants stars both established and emerging voice talent including Sean Astin (“Lord of the Rings,” “Stranger Things”, “The Goonies”) as the series’ narrator, Academy-Award winner Nat Faxon (“Ben and Kate,” “Married”) as Captain Underpants/Mr. Krupp interrupts the class to try and impress le French teacher! In the span of one episode, they might see everything from puppets to live-action moments interspersed with the 2-D animation.įrench class is definitely le interesting. In the hilarious new series, each 22-minute episode is divided into short “chapters.” Along with a seemingly unstoppable villain, each stand-alone adventure contains an original comic created by George and Harold, and, just like Pilkey’s books, boasts an inventive visual style that might inspire viewers to create something themselves. Melvin tries to help defeat a clay monster, but somehow turns everything and everyone into clay! This is going to cost a fortune. To celebrate this exciting premiere, we have three new clips to share (with additional links and materials below) that highlight our two best friends, George Beard and Harold Hutchins, who continue to share a love of comic books and practical jokes – and a strong dislike for their cranky, fun-hating school principal, Mr.

The series provides an entire new experience with new storylines, crazier adventures, wilder pranks and never-seen-before villains. Peter Hastings has totally captured the craziness and heart of the Captain Underpants multiverse and I hope everybody will love the show as much as I do. Pilkey himself has praised the show saying “I binge-watched all of the episodes in one afternoon…I couldn’t help myself. I'm off to find some guac.Get your pranks and whoopie cushions ready because DreamWorks The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants is now streaming on Netflix! From Peabody Award and Emmy-winning executive producer Peter Hastings, the series is based on the epic novels by Dav Pilkey that have sold more than 80 million copies worldwide. Just hanging out while we wait for the set to be fixed. The abominable snowman puppet is as heavy as it looks. This Captain Underpants balloon ultimately met a violent pointy death. That's Supervising Producer Todd Grimes in a Captain Underpants costume waiting for the shot to be ready. I really hope that greenscreen keys well. We were constantly troubleshooting things to get the shots to work right and not having the luxury of an undo button really makes you think and be decisive.
Being able to work on something that you could touch and feel was such a great departure from working on something that only lived inside of a computer. The quality of the puppets was amazing and they were so much fun to play with.
The amount of practical props built for the show was astounding.
Working on this show was not only a tremendous amount of fun for myself but for my team as it gave them a chance to be involved in something new and challenging on each episode. This part of the show could be CG, stop motion, digital puppets or practical puppets. "Can you curl yourself up into a ball so you're clear of the camera and help control this rod puppet?"Įvery episode had what we called 'alt animation' which really just tracked any part of the show not done by the vendor studio Titmouse. "Can you build 3d models of these toys because we don't have the legal clearance to use the ones we bought?" "Can we do digital face replacement on puppets or stop motion characters?" Working on The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants drew upon every single bit of experience that I've accumulated over the years.
