Underdog

Underdog -- the canine superhero who debuted in the TV cartoon that ran in the 1960s and 1970s -- is about to become a movie star with the release of this live-action film based on the character. Voiced by "My Name Is Earl" star Jason Lee, Underdog is actually Shoeshine Boy, a mild-manned pooch who's been imbued with superpowers following a lab accident. Now, the hound's 12-year-old owner (Alex Neuberger) is the only one who shares his secret.
