Hag, Con and Bex talk Super Heroes and Teachers with Captain Underpants Director David Soren!!!
Why did you want to make Captain Underpants? Bex age 5
David Soren – I’m a huge fan of the books! I came across the first one in a bookstore 20 years ago, picked it up, and before I knew it I’d read half the book right there in the aisle. It was so funny, charming and surprisingly smart. When DreamWorks approached me about directing the movie, I was all in!
Were there any teachers in your school that would have made a good Super Hero and Super Villain and who were they? Hag age 12
David Soren –I had a science teacher who would throw chalk at kids who weren’t paying attention. Luckily, he always missed! He’d make for good super villain material.
Why is Mr Krupp so smart but Captain Underpants not so smart? Con age 10
David Soren –People who wear toupees are always smart.
If you could have one silly super power what would it be and how would you use it? Hag age 12
David Soren –The power to make stupid people do smart things.
Why are Captain Underpants parents Dolphins? Con age 10
David Soren –It’s your typical space baby raised by dolphin farmers story. At least that’s what George & Harold told me.
If you could give your team (that made the film) Super hero names – what would they be? Bex age 5
David Soren –The Waistband Warriors!
What did you change from the books and what did you add that wasn’t in the books? Con age 10
David Soren –We primarily used elements from the first four books, then created a larger story that supported all of our favourite moments.
If Captain Underpants was to fight any Superhero – who do you think he would beat and how would he beat them? Hag age 12
David Soren –Captain Underpants would lose against EVERY superhero. No contest. He’s the worst.
If you could make a sidekick for Captain Underpants what would they be called and what super powers would they have? Con 10
David Soren –The sidekick job has been filled. George & Harold have permanently got the gig. Whether they want it or not is another matter.
