Synopsis

Half man, half dog, and a hero from head to toe. With a combination of humor, action, and family values, 'Policán' promises to captivate audiences of all ages.

The story begins when a loyal police dog and his human partner suffer serious injuries in the line of duty. To save them, an unusual operation is performed that fuses them into a single being: Policán. This new hero not only promises to protect and serve, but also knows how to search, sit, and shake paws.

As Policán adapts to his new identity, he must face the cunning villain Petey the Cat (voiced by Pete Davidson). Petey has a wicked plan: to clone himself to create Lil Petey, a small cat with whom he will double his mischief. However, the unexpected bond between Lil Petey and Policán will change the course of the story.

When Lil Petey falls into the hands of a common enemy, Policán and Petey will have to join forces, putting aside their differences, to embark on an exciting rescue mission. Along the way, they will discover the power of family (and kittens) to transform even the worst rivalry into friendship.

DreamWorks Animation brings to the big screen the thrilling adaptation of 'Policán', the literary phenomenon by Dav Pilkey that has topped the New York Times bestseller list.

Directed by Peter Hastings, an Emmy winner for his work on 'Animaniacs' and 'Pinky and the Brain', and produced by Karen Foster (*'Spirit: Untamed'), this film is a tribute to the beloved children's saga created by Dav Pilkey. Since its debut in 2016, 'Policán' has captivated readers around the world, with over 60 million copies sold and translations in 47 languages.
