Walt Disney Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment are putting the final touches on a deal to bring the classic TV cartoon Underdog to the big screen as a live-action feature, reports Variety.

The trade says Disney has high hopes for the property as a possible franchise for its Walt Disney Pictures label. Producers are aiming to start preparing in November for shoot starting in January in Canada, possibly in Vancouver.

The tongue-in-cheek Underdog series, created by Buck Biggers and Chet Stover, made its debut in 1964 on NBC and ran until 1973. The character was an unlikely superhero: a beagle who sheds his milquetoast identity of Shoeshine Boy to become a caped superdog who speaks in rhymed couplets. Wally Cox provided his voice.

In the feature script, by Joe Piscatella and Craig A. Williams, a diminutive hound named Shoeshine gets superpowers after a lab accident. When he's adopted by a 12-year-old boy, the two form a bond around the shared knowledge that Shoeshine is really Underdog.

The characters of mad scientist Simon Barsinister and Underdog's love interest, Sweet Polly Purebred, are expected to be included in the movie. A real dog will be used for the title character, and CGI enhancements will be added.

No se ustedes, pero las adaptaciones de caricaturas al cine (particularmente las hechas por Disney, como Mr. Magoo e Inspector Gadget) nunca me han gustado, no entiendo esa manía de ponerlos con "actores reales", ¿porqué no hacerla con dibujos animados? (como South Park o los Simpsons), en fín, a ver como le va a Supercan

Hmmm pues que mal pex... aunque la de Dogs & Cats estuvo decente en cuanto a animación de animales se refiere pero yo igual hubiera preferido que fuera en cartoon. Espero al menos el intro sea en animación fiel a la original... por ahí tengo mi playera de Underdog... cool!

:o

tal vez quieran seguir el estilo de GARFIELD.... es decir, por computadora, aunque se ve mejor el trabajo de CATS and DOGS.

Cito a NoAngels en el otro tema...

Como leen en el título, me acabo de enterar que Disney tiene planeado el film Live-action :o :?

After an accident in the mysterious lab of maniacal scientist Dr. Simon Barsinister (PETER DINKLAGE), an ordinary beagle unexpectedly finds himself with unimaginable powers and the ability to speak. Armed with a fetching superhero costume, UNDERDOG (voiced by comedian JASON LEE) vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of Capitol City and, in particular, one beautiful spaniel named Polly Purebread (voiced by Academy Award® nominee AMY ADAMS). When a sinister plot by Barsinister and his overgrown henchman Cad (PATRICK WARBURTON) threatens to destroy Capitol City only UNDERDOG can save the day.
