Directed by Shea Wageman, this animated adventure follows 9-year-old Danny and his beloved dog Charlie. When Charlie is taken by aliens and returns with superpowers, the duo must thwart a plan by the neighbor's sinister cat, Puddy, to destroy humanity.
The film boasts a star-studded voice cast, with Owen Wilson voicing Charlie. Did you know that this is Owen Wilson's first time voicing a dog in an animated feature? His signature laid-back charm brings a unique warmth to the super-powered pup. Joining him are Dawson Littman as young Danny, Tabitha St. Germain, and Sebastian Billingsley-Rodriguez, who adds a mischievous edge as the villainous Puddy.
