The
UNDERDOG SHOW always started with this familar song:
"When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!
Speed of lightning! Roar of Thunder!
Fighting all who rob and plunder!
Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!"The premise was that "humble and lovable" Shoeshine Boy (a cartoon dog) was really the superhero Underdog! When villains threatened, Shoeshine Boy ducked into a telephone booth where he transformed into the caped and costumed hero, destroying the booth in the process when his super powers were activated. Underdog almost always spoke in rhyme. Underdog's most frequent saying when he appeared was,"There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!!"
Fast forward to 2007 as
live-action Underdog film is distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Any fan of the original show is sure to be dissappointed. For us purists, the DVD of the series has been released as well so i hope if money is spent on UNDERDOG, it's the cartoon show that made him the character he is.
