Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants series has captured children’s imaginations since its debut in 1997, revolving around a comic book superhero turned real after a couple of fourth graders bring him into the real world. Now, though, he’s about to get even more real with an animated big-screen adaptation involving funnymen Kevin Hart and Ed Helms.

Dreamworks recently announced part of the film’s cast, which includes Nick Kroll, Jordan Peele, and Thomas Middleditch in addition to Hart and Helms. Pulling talent like that—all of whom have worked on big-name networks and shows—ought to result in something at least tolerable by parents—if not enjoyable.

Hart will voice fourth-grader George Beard, while Middleditch will take over as his best friend, Harold Hutchins. Helms plays the scheming, megalomaniacal principal, Mr. Krupp, whom Hart and Middleditch will hyponotize to get Captain Underpants in the flesh. The villain, though? Nick Kroll, who will voice the nefarious Professor Poopypants.

Expect Captain Underpants in theaters sometime in fall 2016. And remember, you don’t need to bring the kids—everyone can enjoy a little mild toilet humor now and again.

This could be the most terrible movie that ever was, and I'm still going to see it. Captain Underpants was a staple of my childhood, so I'm already hype for this.

[OGBoardPoster2005]

As an actor, this is a role I covet....alongside Batman and Philip Marlowe.

[The Tank]

This is going to be the worst movie ever and I'll be there on day one.

And day two. And day three. Then day three again because of scheduling conflicts with a different group of friends.

Not day four, because of the previously mentioned scheduling conflicts.

Then day five, then day six. Then I'll probably have starved to death because movie concessions are too expensive.

My God... Is there any way I can buy a ticket now?! I loved these books when I was a kid.

[Push R Truth]

I would have given my left AND right nut to be cast as Professor Poopypants

[Deleted]

I can't wait. Bryan Cranston needs to be Captain Underpants. It's his trademark.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Nice to see Kevin Hart fulfilling his obligation to be in every movie ever for the next few years.

I WANT NOW

[Bub (BLM)]

You know, this could also be completely awesome ala The Adventures of Tin Tin.

What is Captain Underpants?

[Dave the Dave]

It's taking this long to do this? Don't tell me they still release those books?

[Knailsic From Now On]

This movie well either be amazing or terrible, either way I'm going to see it loved the books growing up.
