Rave Reviews
"... And these aren't just your average dogs, oh no. These are hero dogs, who devote their lives to rescuing us stupid humans. Here you see dogs on mountains! Dogs in planes! Dogs on boats! If the Academy really wants to go forward with their Best Popular Movie Oscar, I urge them to consider awarding this Superpower Dogs trailer that award." —slashfilm.com
"In a world constantly thirsting for wholesome dog-centric content, the hook of director Daniel Ferguson’s 'Superpower Dogs' is an insanely catchy one." —Variety
"The movie's message isn't just about the animals' amazing capabilities; it argues that it's the bond between human and animal that creates the superpower. In other words, together with our four-legged friends, we can be both super and heroes." —Common Sense Media
