Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is a DreamWorks Animation film based on the Captain Underpants book series by Dav Pilkey. George Beard (Kevin Hart) and Harold Hutchins (Thomas Middleditch) are two scheming fourth graders whose goals are to play pranks, hide in their secret treehouse and write comic books. But when they accidentally turn their megalomaniacal principal Mr. Krupp (Ed Helms) into their comic book character — Captain Underpants — their elementary school life suddenly becomes anything but elementary.Rounding out the cast is Jordan Peele as Melvin Sneedly, the nerdy nemesis of George and Harold; Kristen Schaal as Edith, the school lunch lady (and Mr. Krupp's love interest); and Nick Kroll as the insidious villain, Professor Poopypants.Released on June 2, 2017, Captain Underpants is the final DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by Twentieth Century Fox after the former's acquisition by NBCUniversal and before the latter's acquisition by Disney and its renaming into 20th Century Studios, all DreamWorks Animation movies from How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World onward were distributed by Universal.Trailer | |

Victory Is Boring | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_1206dd74 | comment |
Victory Is Boring: After succeeding in getting George and Harold put in separate classes, Mr. Krupp smiles in triumph for a moment, even indulging in Slouch of Villainy... then the smile slides off his face. With the goal he's been reaching for finally achieved, he finds he has nothing else to strive for. | |

Card-Carrying Villain: Poopypants displays all the signs of "don't trust this guy" when he introduces himself, but he takes it to a further level at the climax where he even emulates the comic book version of himself by George and Harold, dressing up like him and boasting that now they're getting the supervillain they wanted. | |

Scenery Censor: Subverted and Played for Laughs after Captain Underpants gets his superpowers. He flings a pair of underwear, then his cape is conveniently covering his lower half. Readers of the book series will likely think this is the same case as the first book where he flings the pants he was wearing and substitutes it for a Bankruptcy Barrel. Then he pulls out several pairs of pants and then it's revealed that not only he still has his original pair, part of his "backstory" involved the ability to use unlimited underwear. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Professor Poopypants says that "laughter" is controlled by the cerebellum (though he calls it by a different name). In real life, the cerebellum controls balance and muscle coordination. That's not even covering the ideas that George and Harold's cerebellums take up about 90% of their brain, and that Melvin doesn't have a cerebellum at all. This, however, falls in line with the books' tendencies to make sciencey-type things up in order to set up plot points. | |

Lack of Imagination: Melvin Sneedly, one of the major antagonists in the series, doesn't have a good imagination outside of scientific endeavors. He's a Child Prodigy who seems to have a lack of imagination in day-to-day life when not being a genius. | |

After Poopypants is turned into a giant and picks up the shrunken school, he gloats over the "tiny students and tiny teachers whose tiny paychecks reflect their size and the value society puts on education." The last part is said while he's looking directly at the camera. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Instead of being pushed over the edge of madness by George and Harold's cruel comic book, Professor Poopypants is already a villain the moment he becomes a teacher at their school, only hatching his evil plan when the entire school discovers his name. His backstory reveals he already snapped when the presenters at the World's Greatest Inventor award ceremony were too busy laughing at his name to give him his well-deserved award. That being said in the book Poopypants became deranged to the point where he attempted murder multiple times and tried to ''destroy the galaxy and kill everyone’' in his final appearance. Here, he merely intends to get rid of laughter and doesn't attempt to murder anyone instead opting to shrink George, Harold and Captain Underpants. He also doesn't get rid of the part of the brain that causes laughter only because humans need it to survive. This is because his appearance in this movie is based on his first appearance in Book 4, while his more insane acts occurred in book 10. Downplayed for Melvin, who except for books 6 and 7, was normally only a Insufferable Genius, but not a villain or evil person by any means and was shown to love his parents. He even became a superhero towards the end of the series and saved George, Harold and Captain Underpants (for self-serving reasons but is still counts). In this movie, he's more than willing to participate in Poopypants scheme for the sake of extra credit and refuses to help George and Harold stop Poopypants. Amplified with the Turbo Toilet 2000, who was the largest and most vicious of the Talking Toilets in the books, but is now a non-sentient giant mecha controlled by Professor Poopypants. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Melvin never finds any of the jokes around him funny. His humorless brain is scanned by Professor Poopypants and programmed onto the rest of the schoolkids, to rob them of any joy and happiness. The radioactive cafeteria leftovers that Edith throws away is used as fuel for the Turbo-Toilet 2000. It's also what winds up giving Captain Underpants his powers. | |

| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_3dcc914f | comment |
Took a Level in Kindness: Mr. Krupp does this at the end, complimenting the boys on their comic books. George and Harold also do this at the end of the film, emphasizing the film's theme of empathy. Realizing that Professor Poopypants is evil because people made fun of him and never tried to see things from his point of view, the kids decide to behave similarly with Krupp, realizing he's mean because he doesn't have any friends. They vow to be a little nicer to him in the future so he doesn't end up as bad as Poopypants. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In general, the fact that the main character is practically running around naked gets more attention than it does in the books. People either cringe at his actions or look at him like he’s crazy. What happens when Poopypants grows the Turbo Toilet to an enormous Humongous Mecha size? It immediately runs out of gas. When George and Harold try to catch Captain Underpants via his cape with a crane, it rips. Captain Underpants vs the Turbo Toilet 2000 results in a thorough Curb-Stomp Battle on the former, since ultimately the Captain is just a normal middle-aged overweight human without superpowers at the time fighting a Humongous Mecha piloted by an evil mastermind. During the Flip-O-Rama scene, Harold accidentally tears the middle of a page from flipping it too hard, which is Truth in Television for many, many readers who wound up doing the same in the books. Mr. Krupp's frequent "blackouts" when the Captain Underpants persona takes over, leaving him in a different place and in his underwear, cause him to become greatly unnerved, and ultimately fearing for his mental health. When George and Harold seemingly erase Captain Underpants, Krupp suffers a major freak out over once again finding himself in a strange place wearing nothing but his underwear. | |

Meta Twist: The primary conflict of the film is Mr. Krupp planning to put the boys in separate classes. So, obviously, the resolution is going to be them reversing it and the two friends sticking together. Not only did the plot line from the books that this conflict seems to be based uponnote Book eleven when Harold fails the final exam and is told he'll have to redo the fourth grade without George end the same way, but that's just what happens in kids' movies. Except that's not what happens here. Even though they try hard to prevent it, in the end, George and Harold actually are put into separate classes. And they're alright with that. They realize that their friendship can persist being separated, and even admit that they may have overreacted to the news a bit. | |

Not His Sled: George and Harold destroy the Hypno-Ring, seemingly removing both Captain Underpants and his superpowers. Fake-outs are common in movies, but a very similar scenario happened in the books, and Krupp actually did lose his super hero identity for good there, so one may assume that this is legitimate. But in the end, Mr. Krupp snaps his fingers and becomes Captain Underpants again, with his superpowers fully intact. | |

Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification | |

Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification: Falls on the "Near Identical Adaptation" end of it. The story condenses elements from the first four books, changes a couple plot points and reveals certain details earlier, but it's very faithful to the source material in both story and spirit. The film's art style matches the books cartoon drawings to a tee, and even Flip-O-Rama is incorporated into the film. | |

Adaptation Amalgamation | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_5ee26f31 | comment |
Adaptation Amalgamation: The film is mainly a combination of the first four books in the series (although a few elements from some of the other books are also included). It's the Captain's origin story from the first book with the fourth book's Professor Poopypants as the main antagonist. The Turbo-Toilet 2000 from the second book also appears as an evolved form of one of Melvin's inventions, and it inadvertently becomes the source of Captain Underpants' superpowers which he gets in the third book (and the schoolchildren also become zombified with the help of cafeteria food). Additionally, the Shrinky-Pig 2000 and the Goosy-Grow 4000 are combined into a single shrink-and-grow invention. Melvin Sneedly being one of the antagonists partially because of being made fun of in George and Harold's comic is similar to to the Bionic Booger Boy arc of books 6 and 7. The story of how George and Harold met in kindergarten is briefly touched on, complete with five-year-old George's ginormous afro from the ninth book. The plot point of Mr. Krupp putting George and Harold in separate classes is similar to the eleventh book when they fail their tests and only George's grade is high enough to move to the fifth grade, much to Krupp's delight. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: The paperwork that Mr. Krupp pulls to separate George and Harold has a "reasons for request" section with: Krupp has two file cabinets in his office that are just barely visible, one labelled "George and Harold", and the other labelled "Rest Of Class". Watch some of the scenes of Mr. Krupp shouting frame by frame and see droplets of spit flying out of his mouth, a detail copied directly from the book's illustrations. In Ms. Anthrope's office, if you look at the two chairs next to the door to Mr. Krupp's office, there is a sign above each of them. One says, "Reserved for George", the other "Reserved for Harold". Also in Ms. Anthrope's office, you see a calendar that says the date of April 28th, but it's obvious that that calendar has not been used in some time, as the movie clearly takes place in early to mid-autumn, NOT spring. Krupp's driver's license lists that his eyes are "cold", his hair is "fake", he lives on 3.14 Curmudgeon Drive and that he signs his signature as "Principal Krupp". Upon closer inspection on Krupp's signature on George and Harold's separation papers, it's surrounded by hearts. Poopypants' resume lists his birthday is on April Fool's Day, he lives on 3.14 Smartypants Blvd, and he doesn't have a phone. One of the signs on Mr. Krupp's lawn reads "Do not Read this sign" In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, as George and Harold first leave school for their treehouse, it appears that they have changed the school sign again to now read "Please Don't Fart in a Diaper". On Professor Poopypants' diagram of a child brain, some of the other parts he doesn't mention include the "Rollonthefloortantrum Lobe," the "Spituitary Gland," and the "Paininzeebutt Cortex." | |

Casting Gag: In the Mexican Spanish dub, the titular hero is voiced by Arturo Mercado Jr., who previously voiced a bald villain, Hammerhead, who also ends up naked. This time, he's the hero. | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: Harold has shades of being a Cloudcuckoolander, with it being framed that the reason he doesn't write the comics is that he doesn't know how to craft a story that makes any sense. There was never any indication of this in the books. A particular quirk of his (constantly trying to insert dolphins everywhere) has no basis whatsoever in the books. | |

No Ontological Inertia. Subverted. George thought destroying the Hypno Ring would wipe out Mr. Krupp's hypnosis, but the ending reveals that it had no effect. Played straight with destroying Poopypants's Anti-Humor Beam, which frees all its victims from their brainwashing. | |

Adaptational Early Appearance: Melvin’s debut was in book two when George and Harold encountered him at the Invention Convention. Here, he's introduced before the Invention Convention is. Professor Poopypants in this movie is Captain Underpants’ first true nemesis, while in the books, the first threat Captain Underpants confronts in book one is actually Dr. Diaper, while Poopypants was his fourth antagonist. | |

Relax-o-Vision: The battle between Poopypants and Captain Underpants is self-described by George as being shocking and enough to make the movie go overbudget, so he and Harold present the first part of it in Flip-O-Rama instead. It goes back to the regular CGI when Harold runs out of paper for the section. | |

Obviously Evil: Professor Poopypants to a T; his job application alone sets off all kinds of giant red flags, with his insistence at being called a "mad genius inventor" and listing his current status as "Revenge Seeker — Revenge at All Costs! Die! Die!" Not even a callous jerk like Mr. Krupp would hire him, but Underpants as Krupp gets "a really good vibe". | |

Ridiculously Long Phone Hold: George and Harold need to sneak past Mr. Krupp's secretary Ms. Anthrope, so they call her and pretend that she's won a contest to win a billion dollars and needs to be on hold to claim her prize, so they play the phone next to some on hold music; she spends the entire rest of of the movie listening to the phone, which must have been at least half a week. The Stinger has George and Harold realize that they forgot that she's still on hold and when they talk phone again, she accidentally hangs up, which enrages her. | |

Harold finds that Krupp has every issue of Captain Underpants that the two have ever created, and wonders out loud if he’s ever read them. It’s hinted to be true by how well Krupp gets into character after he’s hypnotized, and outright confirmed at the end of the movie, where he admits to them that he found them Actually Pretty Funny. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: George and Harold. In the books, they play pranks for their own amusement (rather than to lift their fellow students' spirits here), and are more malicious; In the second book, they sabotage every invention at the Invention Convention (rather than simply Melvin's in the movie) as an act of spite for being banned. Mr. Krupp is less of a flat-out evil person in this film, being given both a Freudian Excuse and Character Development. | |

Adaptational Dumbass: Melvin doesn't come close to reaching the Impossible Genius he was in the books. For example, in the book's version of the Invention Convention, his project was a printer that could print 2D images into living, sentient beings. Here, his various inventions (along with being things that could more reasonably exist) are all stupid and impractical, like a giant binder designed to hold regular-sized binders. His catchphrase in this film is also him cluelessly stating "I don't get it.'' | |

Didn't Think This Through: Most of the first half of the movie involves George and Harold dealing with the aftermath of making their principal think he's a superhero, mainly having to keep him out of trouble and having to keep him from getting wet. A special mention goes to the moment when George and Harold initially believe that Captain Underpants solves their problem about being separated, because now they can just snap their fingers every time Mr. Krupp prepares to switch their classes. They try this, and everything works perfectly... until five seconds later, when students start arrive in the hallways, and George and Harold are left there standing with their hypnotized principal. | |

Art Shift: The comic book sequences are animated in sketchy hand-drawn animation. There is also a puppet and stop-motion sequence where Harold imagines the potential outcome of he and George being put in separate classes. When George and Harold are being shot by Poopypants's Anti-Humor ray, we see inside their heads and see their talking brains are also traditionally animated. | |

Profile View Gag | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_97334924 | comment |
Profile View Gag: According to Professor Poopypants, the human brain contains a lobe called the "Haha-Guffaw-Chucklomatus", which controls laughter. He builds a ray to destroy this lobe in whoever it zaps so that people will stop laughing at him. When he shoots it at George and Harold, it doesn't work like it did with the other kids. Poopypants is dumbfounded, so he flips around his diagram of George and Harold's brains to find that their Haha-Guffaw-Chucklomatuses take up most of their brains, with the other parts flat on one side. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In the opening alone, the boys freeze that moment before Mr. Krupp yells at them to come to his office. His wig is in mid-air, leaving his bald head exposed. In that frame, he resembles Captain Underpants (but angrier and with clothes on). Melvin is established as a tattletale in his first scene. Later, it's revealed he built a Tattle Turtle that catches the boys red-handed. While George and Harold are searching Krupp’s Office for the Tattle Turtle 200 we get two back-to-back; They come across a file cabinet drawer filled with everything Krupp had ever confiscated from them over the years, including the Hyno-Ring, which has an Audible Gleam and its theremin Leitmotif playing in the background after George puts it on, hinting at its mysterious power. Harold finds that Krupp has every issue of Captain Underpants that the two have ever created, and wonders out loud if he’s ever read them. It’s hinted to be true by how well Krupp gets into character after he’s hypnotized, and outright confirmed at the end of the movie, where he admits to them that he found them Actually Pretty Funny. Before his surname is revealed, Professor Poopypants writes his name on the board as "Professor P". Also, when George jokingly asks Poopypants if his name was "Professor Privates", the entire class starts laughing, which makes Poopypants snap at George and send him and Harold (who didn't even do anything) to Krupp's office. Later on, we learn that people laughing at his Unfortunate Name is his Berserk Button is why he is set on eradicating laughter across the world. | |

Made of Iron: Captain Underpants gets nearly hit by a car and gets right back up. Not to mention all the abuse he endures during the first half of his fight against Professor Poopypants and the Turbo Toilet 2000, which if the Flip-O-Rama is any indication, was rather painful, but looks little worse for wear and hardly has so much as a scratch on him. And this all happens before he gets superpowers! Also Professor Poopypants, who gets hit by TWO cars and an ice cream truck with no ill effects. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: George and Harold visibly regret having the Captain around when it becomes clear that he's completely out of their control and his antics only end up making things worse for them. Quite downplayed, but it's implied that Krupp feels this way after separating the boys, or at the very least feels that he may have gone too far. | |

Mood Whiplash: On Saturday, George and Harold burst into song about loving the weekend, with neighborhood animals joining their dance. But when they're reminded they have to attend the all-day school Invention Convention, immediately the animals begin eating each other and rain and lightning strikes, followed by the scene transitioning to the students morosely filing into the school. The Carnival scene. It starts out cheerful with the colorful carnival Establishing Shot complete with silly circus music, which quickly turns into an intense mad scramble by George and Harold to keep Captain Underpants from getting wet or getting himself seriously hurt, which then transitions again to sad as it starts raining, which turns Captain Underpants back into Krupp and keeps him that way, so there's no escaping from being separated. | |

This becomes a plot point, as his evil plan involves destroying the Haha-Guffaw-Chucklomatuses of everyone in the world so they’ll never be able to laugh again. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Professor Poopypants does this twice. The first time was when he had the Turbo Toilet 2000 "eat" Captain Underpants. In doing so, he exposed Captain Underpants to the pretty much radioactive leftovers from the school cafeteria, and it results in him getting real superpowers. The second time is when he's seemingly won after erasing George and Harold's sense of humor. He mentions the planet Uranus, which triggers the memory of how George and Harold first met, and gets them laughing again. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: There are several in this film. George and Harold alone get at least six: The first is after they successfully prank the Invention Convention, only to get called to Krupp's office and learn that Krupp and Melvin conspired together to catch them in the act on camera. The second is when Krupp tells them he's putting them in separate classes, which kicks off the movie's main conflict. The third is when Krupp catches them searching his office for the Tattle Turtle, only to reveal he had it on his person the entire time. The fourth is when it starts raining after the Carnival spirals out of control, meaning that they can't switch Krupp back into Captain Underpants, and are ultimately separated. The last two is a double whammy at the very end, when not only do the Talking Toilets attack, but they discover that destroying the Hypno-Ring didn't get rid of Captain Underpants after all. This is Professor Poopypants' reaction upon discovering that both George and Harold's Hahaguffawchuckleleamaluses are ten times the size of a normal one. | |

It's the Captain's origin story from the first book with the fourth book's Professor Poopypants as the main antagonist. The Turbo-Toilet 2000 from the second book also appears as an evolved form of one of Melvin's inventions, and it inadvertently becomes the source of Captain Underpants' superpowers which he gets in the third book (and the schoolchildren also become zombified with the help of cafeteria food). Additionally, the Shrinky-Pig 2000 and the Goosy-Grow 4000 are combined into a single shrink-and-grow invention. | |

Gut Feeling: When they're first brought to his office at the start of the movie, Mr. Krupp brings up the prank involving the school sign, and knows that George and Harold are responsible for it. When George asks if he has any proof, he responds that his all the proof he needs is in his gut. During the Invention Convention, George is determined to do something to end this ongoing needless boredom. But Harold, remembering Mr. Krupp's warning about how he will catch them in the act sooner rather than later, has a bad feeling about it. He ultimately turns out to be right, as Mr. Krupp conspired with Melvin to create the Tattle Turtle in order to catch them setting up the prank involving the Turbo Toilet 2000 on video. | |

Take That! | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Lots of potshots are made to the frequent cost-cutting and lackluster concern towards children's education. An early joke has Mr. Krupp state he got the money to pay for his fancy security door by cutting the music and arts program. He's sure he made the right decision. What we see of Ms. Ribble's class consists entirely of her telling the students to memorize random dates, listing just the years one by one without any context as to why they're important. Among the plans that Poopypants had for becoming a Nobel Prize winner was "supporting charitable causes that I'll say I care about but not really." After Poopypants is turned into a giant and picks up the shrunken school, he gloats over the "tiny students and tiny teachers whose tiny paychecks reflect their size and the value society puts on education." The last part is said while he's looking directly at the camera. | |

Professor Poopypants gets one as well. The movie makes it evident that the reason laughter is such a Berserk Button for him is that people just wouldn't stop laughing at his name. While he's getting his job interview, there's even a line of dialogue that suggests that this started at a young age. | |

Also, when George jokingly asks Poopypants if his name was "Professor Privates", the entire class starts laughing, which makes Poopypants snap at George and send him and Harold (who didn't even do anything) to Krupp's office. Later on, we learn that people laughing at his Unfortunate Name is his Berserk Button is why he is set on eradicating laughter across the world. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: On one hand, it is indubitably wrong for Professor Poopypants to want to get rid of laughter, as it is an integral part of happiness. On the other hand, Harold and George learn from the experience that while laughter is fun to have, it is important to be compassionate and recognize the difference between laughing with someone or at someone. | |

True Companions | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_c313d43a | comment |
True Companions: This adaptation puts much more emphasis on George and Harold's friendship and how important it is to them. A driving plot point is their fear of Mr. Krupp placing them in separate classes and, because of it, gradually growing apart from each other. Throughout the film, they stick as close to each other as possible, relying on each other for support and doing everything together. They end the movie with an affirmation to remain best friends, no matter what happens. | |

Irony: If you take a close look at Professor Poopypants' resume, you'll notice that he was born on April 1st. (And according to the creators, so was Mr. Krupp.) Also, later in class, Professor Poopypants asks the students what they would do to change the world. A girl suggests "world peace", but Poopypants turns it down as "impossible". Yet, his idea of ridding the world of laughter also borders on impossible as well. | |

The Carnival scene.

| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The poster, which currently acts as the page image, references the last shot of Batman (1989). The soundtrack cover◊ is an obvious homage/spoof of Spider-Man's classic "hanging upside down from a strand of webbing" pose. Two of the reviews that pops up after the "1812 Ofarture" are "Rotten Potatoes: Certifried Fresh" and “Winner winner chicken dinnerâ€� George and Harold's school is "Jerome Horowitz Elementary". Jerome Horowitz is the real name of Curly Howard of The Three Stooges. George and Harold rearrange the letters on the school sign to spell "Please don't fart in a diaper", based on a running gag from the book series. | |

Freudian Excuse: As it turns out, Mr. Krupp is the way he is because he lives in a broken house all by himself, and he has nobody else who's shown genuine care for him. This leads to George and Harold throwing him a bone at the end, and setting him up on a date with Edith. Professor Poopypants gets one as well. The movie makes it evident that the reason laughter is such a Berserk Button for him is that people just wouldn't stop laughing at his name.

Mundane Made Awesome | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: Instead of blackmailing the boys, Mr. Krupp opts to go with the much more mundane solution of simply putting them in different classes, believing it will destroy their friendship. He, George, and Harold treat this decision like it's an outright diabolical scheme. Believe it or not, rolls of toilet paper. Just watch what the other students do with it during the scenes with the Turbo Toilet 2000 going haywire and instigating an impromptu dance party. It's used as a mummy costume, a slide, to even a trampoline and circus ribbon trapeze to name a few. Implausible or not as some of them are, it's still pretty amazing how many ways the kids come up with to have fun using only TP at their disposal. The 3-D Hypno-Ring is basically just a useless trinket from the bottom of a cereal box, but from the way George describes it, you'd think that it took a legendary blacksmith and forbidden plastic smithing techniques to make it. | |

But upon hearing George and Harold's cries for help, it wakes him up enough to swallow some of the leftovers, which gives him the superpower boost he needs. | |

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_df4b69d6 | comment |
Uncomfortable Elevator Moment: Captain Underpants gets into an elevator and makes a "flying" pose as it goes up, all while the two other occupants back as far away from him as possible and anxiously press the button for their floor over and over. | |

Black Comedy Animal Cruelty | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_e01c3d03 | comment |
Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: When George and Harold introduce their bullying principal Mr. Krupp, their brief show of just how nasty he can be is a handmade comic of him torching a kitten (with a censor bar over it.) | |

| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_e3cee2e7 | comment |
Empathic Environment: If one were to notice when George and Harold were spazzing out on sugar, there are dark clouds starting to move in and as they try to keep Captain Underpants (disguised as Krupp) out of harm's way, the blue sky gets covered with more clouds, that is until the carnival gets train-wrecked, the sky is completely covered and it starts to rain symbolizing the boys' situation going From Bad to Worse, with the whole scene ending as a Tearjerker. | |

Composite Character: The Turbo-Toilet 2000 is merged with Professor Poopypants's Humongous Mecha from Book 4 as the Professor's primary means of attack. The lunch ladies from Book 3 are replaced by one Canon Foreigner, Edith. | |

Artistic License – Space: George and Harold's kindergarten teacher refers to Uranus as a gas giant. While it is a gaseous planet, Uranus has actually been considered an ice giant since the 1990s because it is made of heavier volatile substances than hydrogen and helium. | |

On Saturday, George and Harold burst into song about loving the weekend, with neighborhood animals joining their dance. But when they're reminded they have to attend the all-day school Invention Convention, immediately the animals begin eating each other and rain and lightning strikes, followed by the scene transitioning to the students morosely filing into the school. | |

Anything but That! | |
| Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie / int_f769e261 | comment |
Anything but That!: Mr. Krupp's punishment for George and Harold is to...put them in separate classes, because he thinks it'll destroy their friendship. Despite the logic that this would only separate George and Harold at school (they live right next to each other and meet in their treehouse after school all the time), they treat this punishment like they did their punishment in the first book, where they had to be Mr. Krupp's servants. At the end, they discuss how silly it was to think about the punishment that way. | |

Never Trust a Title: The film's Subtitle is "The First Epic Movie". However, there are no other Captain Underpants films, nor were there ever plans for this to be anything other than a standalone film (at least to anyone's knowledge). The subtitle is just a reference to how each book had "The [blank] Epic Novel" by Pilkey's name. | |

Brick Joke: During their origin issue, Harold insists that dolphins raised Captain Underpants, even though George protests that that makes no sense. In the Flip-O-Rama segment, Harold once again tries to put dolphins in there, with George being confused why Harold keeps trying to cram dolphins into the movie. Also in the Flip-O-Rama segment, the last thing shown of what's happening to Captain Underpants is Professor Poopypants banging him around like a paddleball. Once we return to the real world, that's exactly what Professor Poopypants is doing. | |
