The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants

I think that a show is a much better way to adapt the books since they were relatively short and their over all structure translates better into a show then a movie. And also the 2d animation is a much better way to adapt the books as well, the show is litlerly the Books but animated and I think that was a good idea.

As someone who grew up reading the books I have to say I really enjoyed this show. I love its sense of humor and style. I really like how in some episodes it blends various types of animation from 2D style to stopmotion and puppets. The show's about 2 young aspiring comic book artists named George Beard (Ramone Hamilton) and Harold Hutchins (Jay Gragnani) trying to make the most of their school year while trying to avoid their grumpy principal Mr. Krupp (Nat Fixon) and smart yet condescending rival Melvin Sneedly (Jorge Diaz). Unbeknownst to Mr. Krupp he's hypnotized to be Captain Underpants whenever George or Harold snap their fingers. Each episode is based on a comic they wrote. Usually what follows are some hilarious antics and hilarious jokes.

This's a great show and I highly recommend it to both fans of the book series and animation lovers.

This show had me worried at first, but it is actually great. It has a lot of creative film mediums in it, (similar to the amazing world of gumball), which adds to the creativity. I'd say the best part of this show is the comedy it has. It is full of clever jokes, and things that make me laugh out loud. The only thing that isn't that great is parts of the stories. Some of the bad guys seem a little boring, and it is sometimes very predictable. But you have to keep in mind, this was made for young children, so a lot of things will be entertaining to them that might seem old to the elderly. I would definitely recommend this show to any fans of the books.

I was so happy that they made a captain underpants movie when I was young I absolutely loved the books and wanted them to make a movie so bad! Then they did it! It was everything I imagined! Then Netflix made it into a tv show!! This brought my inner child out I was so happy! The tv show is just as good as the movie I love it. Thank you NETFLIX!!!!

I wasn't expecting anything good from this show, since it's a Dreamworks cartoon based off of a Dreamworks movie based off of a comic book I never bothered to read. I was pleasantly surprised by what I got.

The show contains a lot of good fast-paced humor that I can't seem to find much of in modern cartoons. I say "good" because most fast-paced humor in modern kids' animation is just "random" humor, but this show actually has reason behind it's gags. Unfortunately, it has a fair amount of bodily humor (expectable from a show called "Captain Underpants"), and while I can forgive it because of it's target audience, I can't in good conscience give the show any higher of a score than 7. Nevertheless, it contains a healthy dose of self-aware humor with it's visual gags, and while the show itself is formulaic, the jokes are not.

All things considered, "Captain Underpants" is an above average show that, while flawed, has better humor in it than other acclaimed "comedies" such as Adventure Time (simple bodily humor and random "irony"), Uncle Grandpa (complete pandemonium that passes itself as "irony"), Amazing World of Gumball (nothing put internet and pop culture references), and the like. I would recommend this show.
