In the brand new trailer for DC’s animated League of Super-Pets, Krypto the Super-Dog (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) has to crew up with a rag-tag group of newly-empowered shelter animals to avoid wasting Superman from the clutches of an evil… alien (possibly?) who has kidnapped the Justice League.

The plot seems to be fairly simple, a form of Secret Life of Pets meets Teen Titans deal, clearly taking part in to kids who by no means grew out of Paw Patrol. It’s candy sufficient, cute, and with plenty of jokes that really feel very well-tuned to its viewers. With a fully stacked solid of voice actors, director Jason Stern has quite a bit to work with contemplating that is his directorial debut.

When I say stacked solid, I imply it: Kevin Hart, Kate McKinnon, John Krasinski, Natasha Lyonne, Diego Luna, Vanessa Bayer, Marc Maron, Ben Schwartz, and even Keanu Reeves, who’s within the trailer on the very finish as Batman. It’s laborious to even think about the form of cash that’s concerned in getting a slate of A-list actors on board, however I can think about that funds was taken from the animation division contemplating the form of flat, barely soulless manufacturing worth we’re seeing right here. DC is clearly banking on names bringing mother and father into the theater for this one. But you realize what, if tremendous quick turtles and lightening-charged squirrels entertain youngsters for 90 minutes, who am I to guage this movie?

Stern additionally wrote the screenplay alongside John Wittington. Music might be scored by Steve Jablonsky (Transformers). DC League of Super-Pets arrives July 29.
