Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation’s Dog Man is one of the biggest surprise hits of the new year. Now, it’s ready for its home entertainment release. Based on Dav Pilkey’s literary phenomenon of the same name, the film adaption sees a dynamic duo of a cop and his loyal dog get injured on the job. In an effort to bring the pair back on the field, a team fuses the two together, creating a new officer of the law that’s part man, part dog, all hero. As he embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief (Lil Rel Howery, “Get Out”), Dog Man must stop the villainous Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson, “Saturday Night Live”) from carrying out an evil cloning plan that would double his nefarious abilities. The story takes a turn when the kitten forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man, and in the process, they discover the power of family to bring even the most hostile foes together.
Of course, since this is a home entertainment release, families can expect to see some very cool bonus features. There are exclusive deleted scenes, how-to-draw tutorials from the animators themselves, recording booth bloopers, and more only when you purchase from participating digital retailers nationwide, including Apple TV, Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu), Comcast Xfinity, Cox, Microsoft Movies & TV, and Movies Anywhere.

The film also stars Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Rango), Poppy Liu (“Hacks,” The Afterparty), Stephen Root (“Barry,” “King of the Hill”), Billy Boyd (Lord of the Rings franchise, Seed of Chucky), and Ricky Gervais (“The Office,” “Extras”).
