Die Abenteuer des Captain Underpants

We are huge fans of the books and loved the film. But this series takes the boys and the Cap'n to ANOTHER LEVEL! The little boy in my head is so happy, as are the kids in our house. Enjoy, you will not regret it.

I've always loved the books and the movie was great but this Netflix show is really amazing! Plus they made their own villains for this show. Also only people who watch this show will get my headline.

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 a kid, I read all the captain underpants books, and was fond of them. After watching the captain underpants movie that came out not too long ago, I gotta be honest, I was quite disappointed. It didn't really feel like captain underpants. This show however, is surprisingly really good! I started watching it skeptically with my younger siblings, but actually found myself really enjoying it! It stays true the books, and if you were a fan of them, I would give it a watch! It might surprise you!

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.
