Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017) is a DreamWorks animated comedy you can watch online on iFILM with the whole family. Directed by David Soren, it brings Dav Pilkey's bestselling book series to the screen: George and Harold are fourth-graders, best friends, and the authors of a photocopied comic strip that drives their principal, Mr. Krupp, absolutely mad.

When Krupp threatens to split them into separate classes, the boys hypnotize him on the spot and turn him into the hero of their own comics — Captain Underpants, an eager and not-very-bright superhero who fights evil in his underwear. The real trouble arrives in the form of Professor Poopypants, who wants to eliminate laughter from every school on earth. Kevin Hart and Thomas Middleditch voice George and Harold; Ed Helms plays both Krupp and his caped alter ego.

Soren shoots the whole thing as if the kids animated it themselves — flip-book sequences, crayon cut-outs, and jokes that come in faster than the plot. Watch Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017) online on iFILM.
