DC League of Super-Pets hits theaters on July 29, 2022.
There are times when DC League of Super-Pets is both funny and richly conceived, with wordless montages and silent tableaus that ride the line between mythic and ridiculous. After all, it’s a story about Superman’s pet dog Krypto, a minor fixture in the comics and shows, bumped up here to an integral part of the hero’s origin. But no matter how thoughtful or energetic the movie gets, it’s often hampered by its voice cast of celebrity screen actors, who by and large don’t have the skill set to breathe life into a children’s movie. If there were a version of the film with the dialogue track removed, it would probably be more effective.
Via pretty sci-fi designs and doe-eyed characters, Super-Pets re-tells the Man of Steel’s tragic childhood origin, only this time, his alien parents load a puppy into his pod for his protection as they jettison him to Earth. Before the story kicks off, it uses this intro to build a sincere foundation about lifelong buddies — but it takes a sharp tonal turn when it cuts to modern day. It is, first and foremost, a tongue-in-cheek comedy despite its occasionally dramatic moments, and its montage of a day in the life of Krypto and Superman is breezy and picturesque. However, it’s a lot less engaging when the characters stop flying and start talking to each other.
DC League of Super-Pets may have thoughtful filmmaking on its side, but what it doesn’t have is a voice cast that can lend life and personality to its characters. The superpowered pets end up with the short end of the stick; neither are their stories as rich as the movie hopes, nor are they ever truly funny beyond a few fleeting comic references.
