See the films the platforms disagree about most →Two mischievous fourth-graders who love to pull pranks hypnotize their mean school principal, turning him into their comic book creation: a well-intentioned, dimwitted superhero named Captain Underpants. They enjoy their newfound control, but when a real super-villain threat emerges, they must guide their clueless principal-turned-hero to save the school, all while trying to maintain their hypnotic ruse.
