Captain Underpants Collection

The Captain Underpants Collection is a four-part series of films released between 2017 and 2020, adapting the popular children's novel series by Dav Pilkey. The collection centers on the story of George Beard and Harold Hutchins, two elementary school students who use hypnosis to transform their principal, Mr. Krupp, into the superhero Captain Underpants. This initial premise sets the stage for comedic adventures as Captain Underpants battles crime while wearing only his iconic underwear and cape, believing himself to possess superpowers. The series expands beyond the initial narrative with additional installments. "The Spooky Tale of Captain Underpants Hack-a-Ween," released in 2019, presents a Halloween-themed adventure where Harold and George create their own holiday after an attempt to cancel Halloween. In 2020, the collection includes an interactive episode titled "Captain Underpants Epic Choice-o-Rama" on Netflix, where the protagonists work to prevent Mr. Krupp from destroying their treehouse. The total runtime of the collection is 217 minutes, with a reported budget of $38 million and revenue of $125.4 million.
