Yes, the cartoon superhero from the 60’s, Underdog, if flying into theaters near you soon. Sigh….
Look, I’m all for trying to bring back classic characters and everything… but Underdog??? I don’t think Underdog has enough “classic” character association. People don’t think of Underdog when you ask them about their favorite cartoon characters of the 60’s or 70’s. He’s pretty much a 2nd level memory to most people. Not to mention… he was around way before I was even born.
Freezdried Movies gives us this synopsis of the old show:
“Underdog” followed the adventures of a humble dog named Shoeshine Boy who became the superheroic Underdog who spoke in rhymes. Simon Bar Sinister was one of the show’s recurring villains and, unbeknown to the tykes watching the show, his last name slyly translated to “Evil Bastard.”
So do any of you have any enthusiasm for this project? Any at all? Or am I the only one feeling total indifference towards it?
