[ NOTES ]

Dog Man (2025) is available on Blu-ray and DVD. There is no 4K release, which is a shame, as animation looks stunning in ultra high definition. That's the biggest fault I have with this, as I otherwise enjoyed the movie immensely. It's far from perfect, as the titular character is more of a supporting character to Petey than the star of his own movie, but parts of it are like a kid's version of Robocop. Definitely RECOMMENDED.

The movie also includes a fun little Easter egg. At one point, the Mayor shows a card to the Chief with the phone number 818-695-3644 on it. He calls the number, and a droll man answers with, "Life's not fair". Since it's not your usual "555" number, I suspected that it was real. Sure enough, it is.
