Die Abenteuer des Captain Underpants

Having read the novels when I was a kid, I can say that this show is much better than I expected. The humour is fresh and super meta, and the best part - it's actually pretty funny. This show is plain dumb fun, there needs to be a season 2!!

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.

If you, or your child, has read the Dav Pilkey books, you will get this series. It is a great continuance and it's harmless silly fun for fans.

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.

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.
