I can actually see

the end of your friendship.

And it ends right here.

On this dotted line.

George, do something.

Put the pen down, Mr. Krupp...

or we'll hypnotize you.

What?

What?

You said do something.

What is that?

Forged from the molten

plastic of Shandong, China.

In the lowest floor

of the darkest basement

where only toy prizes

dare be made...

exists the most powerful item...

ever to be found in a box

of Frosted Sugar Doodles.

The hypno-ring.

Hypnotize me?

With that piece of plastic junk?

Does that really work?

What do you think?

I got it out of a cereal box.

I'm warning you.

If you don't do what we say,

you're gonna get really sleepy.

Oh, will I?

I'll get sleepy?

With that thing pointing at me'?

It's not making me sleepy.

I'm not gonna get sleepy from...

Whoa!

What kind of

plastic hokum is this?

Whoa!

What's happening?

I don't know.

Why are we floating?

What was that?

I don't know.

I honestly didn't think

that would happen.

Gotcha. You're safe now,

little turtle.

When I snap my fingers,

you will obey our every command.

Wait. How do you know this?

I don't know.

I just say the first thing

that comes to my mind

with great authority.

You are now a chicken.

N worked!

He's a chicken.

Okay, let me try. Let me try.

You're a monkey.

Oh! Look at him,

he's a monkey!

Come on.

You are now

the greatest superhero

of all time...

the amazing Captain Underpants!

Tra-la-laaaaa!

Captain Underpants?

Is that really you?

Let's see.

Underpants, check.

Captain, also check.

I'm pretty sure

I'm Captain Underpants.

It worked!

Which must make you

my trusty sidekicks!

Sidekicks?

Fear not, this planet is safe

under my watchful eye.

This is hilarious!

This is amazing!

Let's see what's afoot.

Wait, no!

Well, that was invigorating.

We gotta stop him.

Why?

Huzzah!

Out of the road, bozo!

Why, thank you, vehicle person!

Ow!

Yeah, we should

probably go get him.

Captain Underpants, wait!

Oh!

Ha-ha!

What is this?

Poor soul. You're trapped

in some sort of

invisible box-like prison.

What's that? I can't hear you.

But I see your tears.

Is it okay

that I'm kinda loving this?

Yes and no. But mostly yes.

Fear not

for I will set you free!

Ow!

Ooh!

What is wrong with you?

Ah, that's better.

I can hear you now.

Sorry, sorry. We're so sorry.

Okay, listen, let's not be

punching people,

though, because...

Hold n.

Here, let me help.

Oh!

You're welcome, madam.

You know,

we should probably get you

back to the school

before anything else...

Halt!

What?

Do you sense that?

No.

Well, of course you don't.

You're not a superhero like me.

Come, sidekicks.

Evil lurks within!

Oh, no!

Where'd he go now?

To the sky!

You'd think a guy like him

would be easy to find.

Found him.

Stand down,

you giant ape monster!

Giant ape monster?

What is he talking...

Your days of terrifying

this town are over!

Mr. Krupp!

I mean, Captain Underpants!

You can't actually fly!

Now I take to the sky...

like an ostrich!

I gotcha!

We gotta do something.

I've got an idea.

Morning.

Morning.

Oh, that is a lot of buttons.

Take that! Ah, cheap shot!

Ow! Right in the kisser!

No!

Oh, hi, guys!

Wait! No!

Follow that gorilla!

Oh, you put up a good fight!

Yeah! You are so good

at operating a crane, Harold.

I know!

It's really not that hard.

Rest assured,

citizens of

this marvelous metropolis...

I will rid you of this menace

any moment now!

Come on. Oh, come on,

come on, come on.

Victory!

Yes!

Bravo!

Oh, no, no, no!

Let that be a lesson

to evildoers everywhere.

Never underestimate the power

of underwear!

Who the heck are you?

What the...

Wow! I can't believe

we found a spot.

Oh, goodness.

Grandpa, you did it again.

He's a sleepwalker.

Come on, pap pap,

let's get you back into bed.

But what about all the other

evil villains?

Well, don't worry about that.

There's no more

evil villains around here.

A science teacher, hmm?

The perfect cover.

Chums! What

an astounding headquarters.

Stuffed full of relics...

all celebrating

my interplanetary exploits!

Oh, this takes me back.

What are we gonna do?

He can't just stay here.

We have to turn him back

into Krupp.

I know,

but can we just take a moment

to acknowledge

what's happening here please?

I mean, Captain Underpants is

hanging out in our tree house!

Look at the cute little turtle.

Oh, he's so adorable.

Well, a hero's work

is never done.

Now it is time to fly again!

No, no, no, no!

Where am I?

Where are my pants?

Oh, no! He's Krupp again.

Ah!

Tra-la-laaa!

That's it! Now we know

what turns him hack and forth.

Turns who what?

Why am I soaking wet?

Cool.

Hey.

Tra-la-laaa!

Harold!

Tra-Ia...

George!

Laaa!

We should probably stop.

Yeah, we probably should.

Stop doing this!

Tra-la...

I am Captain...

What are you doing?

Hello? Well, hello!

What's happening?

Fear not!

Didn't know I could do this.

Hey, sidekicks!

Tra! Hey! Heyo!

Tra-la-laaa!

Okay, this is the street.

Come on, come on.

We're almost there.

Evening.

Evening.

Drop it. No, get off. Gimme!

That's a bad dog.

We made it.

Yeesh.

I wonder

what horrors lie inside.

There's probably

wild dogs in there.

Probably torture implements.

Rabid rats.

Brains in jars.

Jars of plucked-out eyeballs.

Bones of former students.

Why'd you scream?

I just assumed

there'd be something scary...

but it's actually

a really nice place.

We probably

shouldn't snoop around.

Yeah. Definitely not.

Come on.

Huh.

Hmm.

Not So Cheery O's?

This guy's bumming me out.

I gotta say, this has

not been the funnest snoop.

Yeah, no, totally.

Really sad snoop.

Kinda regretting it, actually.

I sure hope we don't ever

end up like him.

All alone.

It's impossible.

That would never happen.

Yeah, yeah.

That'll never happen.

Unless he puts us

in separate classes.

Which will never happen.

It'll never happen.

'Cause we control him now.

And if ever gives us

any trouble again,

all we gotta do

is snap our fingers...

and "Tra-la-laa!"

All of our problems go away.

Oh, yeah

Beautiful

Even more beautiful

Hey, Tommy. What's going on?

Hey, guys-

Whoa! Cool shirts!

What are you two doing together?

I separated you.

No, you didn't.

What are you talking about?

I signed the paperwork. See?

I don't see a signature.

Harold, do you see a signature?

Not a thing.

I actually can't see a thing.

These sunglasses are too dark.

What? I could have sworn

I signed that thing.

No matter. There!

Officially separated.

Forever.

What? Give me that.

Tra-la-laaa!

See? Problem solved.

Ooh!

Greetings, citizens!

Quick, in here.

Okay, you know what?

These shirts were way premature.

Definitely. Come on.

Let's turn him back into Krupp.

We can't. He'll separate us,

remember?

Yeah, well, we can't have him

wandering around

looking like that.

A triangle!

It dings!

Ah! Principal Krupp,

you caught us again.

You better take us

to your office
