They're sure plugging the hell out of the new movie.

I wasn't one of those people, so there's another $10 I'll be saving.

1. It's because I liked the cartoon as a kid that I won't waste money on the movie.

Hollywood can't get anything right anymore. They only know how to make terrible remakes of old movies, old t.v. shows and old cartoons.

3. I love the old cartoon show Underdog, but there's NO WAY I'll see that movie.

I can't understand why anyone nostalgic for the Underdog cartoon WOULD see it.

There is no Underdog without Wally Cox. And if there must be, at least preserve the integrity of the character and his nerdiness.

5. Underdog was pretty cool

I've only seen the commercial for the movie once but it does not look like something I'd like to see based on my enjoyment of the cartoon.

6. The poster alone detailed why fans of the cartoon should be sad.

8. Brings back memories...

When my son was about 2 1/2, that was his favorite cartoon. Some nights the kids would sleep in our bed. He would cover his head, and a few minutes later I would hear him singing the Underdog song. He would then proceed to narrate the whole episode.
I could wave my hand in front of his face, and he wouldn't see it. Lost in his own little world.

That little guy is 28 now, and I got him an Underdog T-Shirt for his birthday. :-)

10. When I first heard thew 1950s cartoon was being made as live action,

I puked enough to make an entire city from it.

I gather the dog doesn't even rhyme, though no doubt the 'animators' digitally removed underdog's nads in post-production... unless they found a neutered dog... I mean, that would not only increase wind resistance and drag, nobody wants to spend $10 to see a boatload of commercials plus a dog's block'n'tackle...
