The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants is a children's animated series produced by DreamWorks Animation and released on Netflix in 2018. Based on the popular book series by Dav Pilkey, the show follows the adventures of two fourth-grade boys - George Beard and Harold Hutchins - who love to play pranks and create comic books. Their lives take a wild turn when they accidentally transform their grumpy principal, Mr. Krupp, into their own creation - the superhero Captain Underpants.

The show features Nat Faxon as Captain Underpants/Mr. Krupp, Jay Gragnani as George, and Ramone Hamilton as Harold. The dynamic between the three central characters is the backbone of the show. George is the more creative and impulsive of the two boys, while Harold is the voice of reason and keeps the duo grounded. Captain Underpants, on the other hand, is a hilarious bundle of contradictions - he's brave and kind-hearted, but also clueless and prone to making mistakes.

Each episode of The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants follows a different adventure that George, Harold, and Captain Underpants find themselves on. From battling evil robots to time-traveling to the prehistoric era, the show's writers take full advantage of the boundless creativity and imagination of the source material. One of the reasons the show has been so successful is its ability to appeal to both children and adults. The humor is goofy and slapstick-y enough to make kids laugh, but it's also clever and self-aware enough to keep adults entertained.

One of the standout elements of The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants is its animation style. The show uses a unique mix of 2D and 3D animation to bring the characters and settings to life. The characters themselves are drawn in a quirky, cartoony way that matches the off-the-wall tone of the show. The 3D animation is used sparingly for action sequences and special effects, giving the show a fun and dynamic look.

Another highlight of the show is the voice acting. Nat Faxon is hilarious as Captain Underpants, nailing the character's child-like enthusiasm and eagerness to please. Jay Gragnani and Ramone Hamilton also do an excellent job bringing George and Harold to life. Their chemistry together is infectious, making their friendship and partnership feel genuine and heartwarming.

The show's themes are relatively straightforward, but still important for children to learn. Friendship, loyalty, and creativity are all emphasized throughout the series. George and Harold's friendship is put to the test at times, but they always come through for each other in the end. The show also emphasizes the importance of using your creativity to solve problems and make the world a better place.

Overall, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants is a fun and imaginative children's show that's perfect for a family viewing. The humor is goofy enough to make kids laugh, but clever enough to keep parents entertained. The animation is unique and dynamic, and the voice acting is top-notch. While the show doesn't delve too deep into complex themes, it still manages to deliver important messages about friendship, loyalty, and creativity. Whether you're a fan of the books or not, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants is definitely worth checking out.

The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (39 episodes). The series first aired on July 13, 2018.
