HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO? CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU

-

IS IT a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Captain Underpants!

The greatest superhero ever to perform in a pair of Y-fronts is set to have you laughing your pants off with The First Epic Movie, out this week on DVD and Blu-ray.

Based on the hit children’s series by American author and illustrato­r Dav Pilkey, it features best friends George Beard and Harold Hutchins who spend their days creating comic books and dreaming up pranks. One day they accidental­ly hypnotise their school principal into believing that he is Captain Underpants, a dimwitted superhero whose costume consists of underwear and a cape.

As if this isn’t bad enough, their newest teacher is a disgraced evil scientist bent on exacting his revenge at their school.

George, Harold and Captain Underpants must band together to thwart his evil agenda.

A great comedy caper, DreamWorks’ Captain Underpants The First Epic Movie is available from September 12, priced from around £9.99.
