Underdog (CGI Reboot)

Underdog is a computer-animated film adaptation of the 1964 Saturday Morning superhero cartoon of the same name. It'll be released under Universal Pictures through Illumination Entertainment and DreamWorks Animation (whom Universal has acquired).

OPENING LOGOS

 * 1) UNIVERSAL [A Comcast Company] LOGO - Assuming he can breathe in Space, Underdog flies around the Earth, with the letters spelling "UNIVERSAL" on his trail. By the end of the opening music, Underdog stands on some of the letters boldly.
 * 2) ILLUMINATION LOGO - A couple Minions wear capes and try flying by jumping off the logo, only to fall flat on their faces.
 * 3) DREAMWORKS ANIMATION SKG [A Comcast Company] LOGO - In a 2D flash-animated sequence, Underdog fishes while sitting on the moon, then later jumps off the moon and flies down through a cloud, transitioning from his classic 2D-animated self to his CG counterpart used in the movie, designed by some of the artists who worked on "Mr. Peabody and Sherman".

CLOSING LOGOS

 * 1) UNIVERSAL PARKS AND RESORTS LOGO - Underdog once again flies around the Earth with the letters spelling "UNIVERSAL" on his trail, but this time, he now floats besides the logo, even when the "UNIVERSALPARKSANDRESORTS.COM" URL fades in underneath.
 * 2) DREAMWORKS ANIMATION SKG [A Comcast Company] LOGO - After the closing logos for Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment, a still frame of Underdog fishing on the moon is used. This would also be used for the TV series based on the movie [See below].

PREMISE
Underdog's greatest enemies band together to form a legion so powerful, Underdog wouldn't stand a chance to defeat them all. The legion in question is lead by none other than Dr. Simon Barsinister. Underdog discovers he can't fight them alone. Eventually, Underdog helps a band of misfit animal superheroes like him to take on this evil alliance, and in turn, Underdog gets a legion of his own. And at the end of the movie, Underdog now starts working under a superhero headquarters with that same team of misfits, all thanks to Underdog (This would foreshadow a TV series).

ART-STYLE
The opening DreamWorks logo is completely flash-animated, but the rest of the movie is computer-animated. The end credits are also flash-animated.

MARKETING

 * There could be a motion picture soundtrack for physical and digital release. I don't know what label it should be under, let alone who should provide movie score for it, but I know that The Plain White T's version of the "Underdog" theme song (from the 2007 live action remake from Disney) could be added as a bonus track, and for the first time without SFX and overlapping dialogue since the Disney adaptation didn't have it featured on their soundtrack.
 * There could be a possible video game adaptation developed by Toys for Bob under Activision, containing a free Movie Pass to see the movie in theaters with your choice of 2D or 3D. The Movie Pass could also have a free Digital Code in case (following COVID-19) your theater is closed down, and you can just stream it.

TELEVISION SERIES
After the movie gets released on DVD, Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray 3D, and Ultra HD Blu-Ray, a TV series would be made based on the film, now focusing on Underdog fighting crime with his new superhero friends. What channel should Underdog's new show be released on? Universal Kids Netflix Hulu Amazon Prime Peacock

TRIVIA

 * Like "Monsters VS. Aliens" and "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie" (assuming most people just call that movie "Captain Underpants" instead), the title for "Underdog" is used at the beginning and end of the movie.
 * This would be the second theatrical movie based on a DreamWorks Classics property. Third, should one count the upcoming "VeggieTales" movie, despite Illumination and Dreamworks not having any part of that film.
 * My initial plan was to give "Underdog" a movie series, with the first one focusing on how he got his powers and the ability to speak (separating from what the Disney version did), the second movie being where Riff-Raff was the main villain, and this team-up movie being saved as either the fourth or sixth installment. But due to box office concerns, I decided to just use that plot alone as the first installment as just a stand-alone feature film.
