The movie Underdog is a 2007 American superhero comedy film, directed by Frederik Du Chau. The film is based on the animated television series of the same name, which aired from 1964 to 1973. The movie stars Jim Belushi as the voice of Shoeshine, the superhero hound who gains his powers during a laboratory experiment gone wrong.
The movie revolves around a young boy named Jack, who adopts Shoeshine after the accident that gives him superpowers. Shoeshine, who was once a normal hound, is now able to fly, has super strength, and can even speak. The duo soon becomes friends and partners, and they team up to stop the evil Dr. Simon Barsinister (Peter Dinklage) from taking over the city of Capitol City.
As the story unfolds, the audience sees Shoeshine come to terms with his newfound powers, and Jack learns to accept the responsibility that comes with being a superhero's owner. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles, including the meddling of the local news reporter, who wants to expose Shoeshine's secret identity.
The movie is a fun and family-friendly adventure, with lots of humor and heart. It features an all-star cast, including Jason Lee, Amy Adams, and Brad Garrett as the voices of various characters. It also includes several nods to the original animated series, including the theme song and classic catchphrases like "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"
