Charlie the Wonderdog 2025

Released in late 2025 internationally and hitting North American theaters on January 16, 2026, Charlie the Wonderdog is an animated superhero adventure that follows the heartwarming bond between a shy nine-year-old boy named Danny and his loyal but aging golden retriever, Charlie. The story kicks off when Charlie is abducted by an alien queen’s spoiled son, who genetically alters the dog with incredible superpowers before returning him to Earth. Now youthful, capable of speech, and gifted with flight and super strength, Charlie embraces his new identity as a famous superhero. However, the stakes rise when the neighbor’s sinister cat, Puddy, who was also abducted and granted superior intellect, executes a diabolical plan to pollute the human food chain and transform humanity into "cat-brained" minions. Danny and Charlie must team up with Danny's mother and a cast of quirky neighborhood pets to thwart Puddy’s feline army and save the world, ultimately learning that true heroism is defined by courage and kindness rather than just powers. The film features a notable voice cast led by Owen Wilson as the titular Charlie, bringing his signature laconic wit to the role. He is joined by Dawson Littman as Danny, Ruairi MacDonald as the villainous cat Puddy, and Tabitha St. Germain as President Rose. Other cast members include Sebastian Billingsley-Rodriguez as the Alien Prince and Zac Bennett-McPhee as Otis. Directed by Shea Wageman and produced by Canada's Icon Creative Studio, the movie features original music by rock legend Bryan Adams. On the financial and distribution front, Charlie the Wonderdog began its international rollout in October 2025, starting in territories like Poland where it earned approximately $610,000 in its initial weeks. As it has only recently premiered in the United States and Canada (mid-January 2026) through Viva Pictures, full domestic box office totals are still being calculated, though early tracking suggests it is finding a steady audience among families. Regarding streaming, the film is currently in its exclusive theatrical window; however, per the distributor's typical release patterns, it is expected to arrive on VOD platforms (Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play) and eventually a major streaming service like Hulu or Netflix in late spring or summer 2026.
