Krypto is Superman’s best friend, but one day, he proposes to news reporter Lois Lane, turning Krypto’s life upside-down. He also faces danger when Lulu, a genetically enhanced Guinea pig, captures Superman and drains Krypto of his powers! Now Krypto has to team up with a ragtag team of super-powered shelter pets, including a cynical dog named Ace, PB, a pig who loves Wonder Woman, a neurotic squirrel named Chip, and a foul-mouthed turtle named Merton, to rescue the Justice League and save the world.

With three bumps in a row, Scoob, Tom and Jerry, and Space Jam: A New Legacy, there’s no way production company WAG (Warner Animation Group) could get back on their feet and be a serviceable rival for Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and Sony. Well, it seems that their luck has changed with DC League of Super-Pets, a slick summer flick with a complex story, engaging characters, solid animation from our friends at Animal Logic, and a good message about putting someone else’s needs before your own.

If I were to complain about one thing, I feel that WAG missed the opportunity to showcase some of the animal characters from the DC comics, such as Harley Quinn’s hyenas Bud and Lou. But then again, it would too much like The Lion King if they were in 'Super-Pets'.

In conclusion, while it doesn’t hold a candle to other animated superhero movies like The Incredibles, Big Hero 6, or obviously Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, DC League of Super-Pets is a welcome entry into WAG’s library. If you are reading this, Warner Bros, surprise me with your next batch of animated films.

Rating: 3:65 stars out of 5.
