    A good introductin to a Great Character
    I have a soft spot for the DC characters, even if recent representations on film have not been that great. One thing that has always struck me as odd is that Superman has a family from Krypton that is well represented in the comics, but not shown in other media until recently. The funniest aspect of this is the fact that he has a dog, whose name is Krypto. This film is an attempt to bring the character to a wider audience, and it succeeds. It is entertaining, and there's a lot of heart to it. Don't get me wrong, it's not the best animated superhero movie, but you can watch this and not be frustrated. I didn't realize that the Rock voiced Krypto until after the film was finished. He doesn't do a bad job, but it's unclear why he got the job, as his voice is so generic.

    Found this one a bit boring
    I only watched it because my 9yr old wanted to see it. So we sat down together to give it a go. I found myself tuning out after awhile, I feel like I have seen this type of movie before and done better.

    The only difference is that this was spin on the whole pets thing so instead of being ordinary pets they are super pets with super problems.

    It's not a terrible movie by any means. I have had to sit through some stinkers and could handle watching this one but if I was asked to watch it again I would suggest something else to watch. So for me this was a watch it once and done sort of thing and not because of anything really bad with the movie I am just over super heros and pet movies... for now.

    The Krypto movie that needed to be made
    Despite being aimed at a more childish audience, this DC Comics animated movie is one of the best animated movies of 2022. Krypto is the protagonist and we see him together with a group of animals with superpowers that are not very like the comics , but they are characters that give the film a lot of grace. Of course there are more childish versions of The Justice League, but they retain the essence of the original characters. Krypto and Ace stand out a lot as the leads. Sure Ace is different from the original, but his past history helps with his personality profile. It is a very good film with excellent animation, full of humor and suitable to enjoy with the family. My rating for this movie is 9/10.

    The Tale of Superman's Dog
    This was one of those films that I pretty much would have ignored, except that I suddenly realised that my brother likes superhero films, and also animals, so what better film to take him to see but a film about animals that happen to be superheroes. Okay, this is basically a kids film, but with a lot of these types of films there is quite a bit of adult content in it as well, no doubt to keep the adults entertained despite the fact that it is targetted towards children.

    Anyway, the film is about Krypto, who happens to be Superman's dog. It turned out that when Superman was sent off from Kyrpton, his dog decided to go with him, and he has grown up with superman, as well as having similar powers. The problem is that Superman has got to the point where he is falling in love, which basically means that Krypto is taking a back seat to Lois Lane.

    Anyway, what happens is that Lex Luther attempts to drag a meteor containing orange kryptonite to Earth - the difference being that orange kryptonite gives normal people superpowers. However, they stop him but parts of the meteor fall into an animal shelter and falls into the hands of Luther's abandoned guinea pig, who suddenly gains superpowers. However, so do the other animals, though unlike the guinea pig, they are a bit hesitant to use it.

    This is fairly typical of a lot of superhero films that I have seen, though of course one does need to keep the plot rather simple for the children to be able to enjoy it. Basically the Justic League all get imprisoned so it is up to the pets to rescue them. The problem is that Kyrpto has lost his powers, and the friends that he has made either don't know how to use theirs, or have issues that they have to overcome. Yeah, this is also a theme that seems to be prominent in a lot of films, and that is overcoming your weaknesses and thus saving the day.

    As I mentioned, it wasn't all that bad, and there were some interesting parts to it as well. Sure, it isn't a part of the DCEU, but that probably shouldn't surprise anybody. It is fairly stock standard, but as I mentioned, that pretty much is also to be expected. Still, I rather enjoyed it, even if the first part was a little slow, and also the fact that Lex Luther is pretty much my least favourite Superman villain (and honestly I don't know of any others, which says something). However, it is probably worth watching, and is rather enjoyable.

    Good Overall
    It was interesting and very funny. It got some good laughs out me and my family. This movie is about Superman's dog Krypto and how he saves Superman and the Justice Leaque after they are captured. He meets some friends along the way to help him out. He also learns a lot of lessons along the way.

    Good learning experience for kids and good movie for all ages. Lots of fun is included in this family movie. I would recommend it to all ages. If you are looking for a family movie for everyone, this is it. This movie had adults, teens, and kids all laughing and having a good time. I enjoyed it and I think you will too. This movie is available on HBO Max which is where I watched it.

    Routine story telling, not super at all
    I love the look of DC League of Super-Pets. I especially enjoyed the human superheroes and would like to see an animated movie featuring them. The Super-Pets themselves were boring and lackluster. Typical storytelling of infighting between our leads, Krypto and Ace while the villain runs rampant. Performances are phoned in. Hart is usually hilarious but doesn't bring his comedic flair here. I will go see any movie The Rock is in, which is the main reason I watched this, but he doesn't seem to work in this part. His voice acting just doesn't have his typical zing. The highlight for me was the mid credit sequence. Very cute. I wish there was more of that cleverness in the movie. Ultimately, these Super-Pets were too tame.
