Underdog Planned for Blu-ray Release

Buena Vista Home Entertainment is planning to release 'Underdog' for Blu-ray day-and-date with the planned DVD release on December 18th. Its still too early for specs to be announced, but you can expect the typical Disney treatment of 1080p video and PCM audio. Being a family film, Disney may also opt to include a BD-Java game for the younger audience.

“There's no need to fear. Underdog is here!” The superhero canine with a gift for rhyme returns in an all new live-action re-imagination of the classic cartoon, 'Underdog.'

After an accident in the mysterious lab of maniacal scientist Dr. Simon Barsinister (PETER DINKLAGE), an ordinary beagle unexpectedly finds himself with unimaginable powers and the ability to speak. Armed with a fetching superhero costume, Underdog (voiced by comedian JASON LEE) vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of Capitol City and, in particular, one beautiful spaniel named Polly Purebread (voiced by Academy Award® nominee AMY ADAMS). When a sinister plot by Barsinister and his overgrown henchman Cad (PATRICK WARBURTON) threatens to destroy Capitol City only Underdog can save the day.
