I have read most of the Captain Underpants book series by author Dav Pilkey, and think they are enjoyable books with funny visuals and funny characters, so I was a bit excited to see how the animation studio DreamWorks was going to make a film adaptation; after watching, I can say that this is one of my favorite book adaptations and favorite DreamWorks film, and had good time watching it. The film Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017) was a fantastic and very funny movie with outstanding voice acting, excellent animation with a fitting animation style, references to the books, weird moments, moments that are faithful to the books, and once again lots of funny moments; I know the humor in this is immature with it talking about bathroom humor and other stuff like that, but the way they do it is in a way that does not make it annoying but it makes it funny, that is mostly because of the likable characters and the way they act and say their lines of dialogue that makes the movie entertaining to watch from beginning to end.
Kevin Hart and Thomas Middleditch were excellent as George and Harold, with them having a nice friendship with each other, and some of the pranks they pull off are funny, with them also being funny in the way they act and the lines of dialogue they say; when their principal threatens to split them up into separate classes, it is funny by how dramatic they make it, but also you can tell that it is a big deal to them and you do not want it to happen. Ed Helms was fantastic as Captain Underpants/Mr. Krupp, he was very funny throughout the film with the funny over-the-top mean personality as Mr. Krupp, and the clueless nice personality of the hero Captain Underpants; I like how he switches back and forth between the character's personalities, and the multiple very funny lines of dialogue he has as both Mr. Krupp and Captain Underpants. To add to my thoughts on George and Harold's friendship, is that I like how they make their comics with one responsible for coming up with the story and the other doing the illustrations, along with the cool treehouse they use as their comic headquarters; I also like how they figure out how to hypnotize and control Mr. Krupp, and then having an idea that starts funny but becomes difficult when they turn him into Captain Underpants.
The villain is a villain from the books with the immature name Professor Poopypants, who is voiced greatly by Nick Kroll, who hates people laughing at him because of his name and has a simple but understandable plan on getting rid of laughter; he had quite a few funny moments and lines of dialogue, and he gets help from a student named Melvin, voiced by Jordan Peele, who does not laugh at anything funny which can be funny for how characters react to that. I did love the animation style for this movie, because it fits the silly cartoony vibe it is giving off that does fit the style of the books, with nice drawn visuals showing George and Harold's creative process, and details from the book that work well with the comedy and the action; the movie was very funny with how the characters acted and say these funny lines of dialogue, yes it is mostly immature humor, but they do it in a way where it is more funny and less annoying than if it were in a mindless kids film that was trying to be smart.

I will say that fans of both the books and DreamWorks will like this film, even people who love animated films will like the film, it just depends on if you can get through this film's sense of humor to full like and enjoy this film; I have seen this film before, and I can say that this movie is a great book adaptation, and is one of my favorite DreamWorks film to watch.
