To say that thegenre of talking animals filmsin one of my all time favorites is a gross understatement. While my tastes lean towards the live action classics such asBabeorAir Bud, and don’t think for a second I won’t be catching the soon-to-be Christmas classic,Pups Alone, starring Dolph Lundgren. I love all of those capers, live action or animated, where our furry, prickly, slithery, scaley or otherwise heroes save the day. Now we have actual superhero animals?! And we have to wait until when?
Warner Bros. Pictures Presents A Seven Bucks Production,DC League of Super-Pets. The film will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures in theaters internationally beginning 10 July 2025 and in North America on June 20, 2025.
