CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE

2017 BBC One, 2.15pm ÌÌÌÌÌ

A cheery choice for children of all ages (and their selfless parents), this film isn’t afraid to plunder the puerile for its laughs. Based on the popular books, the plot follows two young friends who hypnotise their gruff headmaster and make him believe that he’s a superhero, Captain Underpants. It may not be sophisticated, but it works. Kevin Hart, Ed Helms and Nick Kroll are among the voice cast.
