“There’s no need to fear. Underdog is here!” The superhero canine with a gift for rhyme returns in a new live-action re-imagination of the old cartoon. In the Disney film, after an accident in the mysterious lab of maniacal scientist Dr. Simon Barsinister (Peter Dinklage), an ordinary beagle unexpectedly finds himself with unimaginable powers and the ability to speak. Armed with a fetching superhero costume, Underdog, voiced by Jason Lee (“My Name is Earl”) vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of Capitol City and, in particular, one beautiful spaniel named Polly Purebread (voiced by Amy Adams). When an evil plot by Barsinister and his overgrown henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton) threatens to destroy Capitol City only Underdog can save the day. At left are Leo and Ginger, the canine stars of the movie, at its premiere Monday in New York. The movie opens today.
