Why the Dog Man movie SUCKED (in my opinion)
(This is all MY OPINION so don’t downvote me and DON’T attack me. But if you don’t agree with me, you’re free to downvote. Just don’t downvote it to hell for freaking god‘s sake)
So anyway.. What they got wrong in the movie:
The doctor is a MALE, not a female.
The butler is a male. NOT a female goth girl.
They changed the character designs too much to the point where I don’t even recognize their original book counterparts anymore.
They stole the art style from the Big Nate TV show from Nickelodeon. Which makes the film’s look purely lazy and unoriginal.
What they SHOULD’VE done is adapt the book’s actual art style and turn it into CGI while still keeping the kid-drawn charm. Which feels like an absolutely missed opportunity.
Harold is supposed to be voiced by a MALE. Not an adult woman.
They didn’t add George & Harold introducing Dog Man in the beginning of the movie. Which they didn’t have to but would’ve made the film extra special if they did.
The Beastly Buildings are NOT stylish.
The Butler marries/dates a smelly trash bag, not a beastly building. Which is fine as long as it didn’t ruin the film which unfortunately already happened.
Chief dates/marries Nurse Lady, not Sarah Hatoff. Which is the stupidest change they did in my opinion.
And last of all, they DID NOT have the backgrounds be faithful to the books in CGI form.
My obvious fix:
Delete all the scenes from the final movie and have the deleted scenes be animated and have them in the final cut of the film. And also keep everything the same like in the books but adapt the book’s actual art style and turn it into CGI while still keeping the kid-drawn charm and still feel cinematic.
Anyway those are my thoughts. Feel free to tell yours in the comments.
