Universal Pictures has announced plans for the UK home video release of animated family-favourite Dog Man. The film will release on Blu-ray and DVD on May 12, 2025.
Part man, part dog, all hero. Filled to the brim with humour, heart, and tail-wagging action, the release will include exclusive deleted scenes, how-to-draw tutorials from the animators themselves, recording booth bloopers, and more.
From DreamWorks Animation – creators of How to Train Your Dragon and The Wild Robot– comes the canine crime-fighting film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s literary phenomenon: Dog Man. When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured on the job, a harebrained surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born! As he embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief (Lil Rel Howery, Get Out), Dog Man must stop the villainous Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson, “Saturday Night Live”) from cloning himself and creating an evil kitten, doubling his evil abilities. The story takes a turn when the kitten forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man and in the process, they discover the power of family to bring even the most hostile foes together.
