It is the second feature-length film based on the strip following the 2010 live-action film. The film stars Pete Davidson as the voice of Marmaduke, along with J. K. Simmons and David Koechner. It was released by SC Films in international countries and on Netflix in the United States on May 6, 2022. The film was universally panned by critics and audiences, with criticisms going towards its animation, screenplay, story, characters, and humor. Some dogs sit hallucinating or lie collapsed in the park, apparently stoned after eating mushrooms.

The strip's longevity and perceived monotony [15] have been noted by publications such as The Onion [16] and have made it the butt of jokes. [12] It has become "a hot source of retro-ironic-subversive humor." [17] For example, a blog called "Joe Mathlete Explains Today's Marmaduke" [18] deconstructs the strip to offer an alternative explanation for what is happening in the drawing. [19] [20] [15] [17] Another blog called "Marmaduke Can Vote" gives each panel a political slant, [21] [17] while another called "Poignant Marmaduke" changes all the captions to make the comics sad. [22] Additionally, "The Marmaduke Project" re-imagines Marmaduke in other forms. [23] [17]

Sexual references

Marmaduke is based on the comic strip created by Brad Anderson, which featured in Australian newspapers and magazines in the 1970s and 1980s. This partially animated comedy, directed by Tom Dey, is about the adventures of Marmaduke, the talking Great Dane (voiced by Owen Wilson).

This movie contains no explicit use of substances. But it does contain some implied references to substance use. For example: Marmaduke has Carlos pretend to be lost in the dog park, and the two stage a fight in front of all the dogs to boost Marmaduke's popularity. Marmaduke enters a dog surfing contest put together as a promotional stunt by Phil to sway Petco and beats Bosco, who is the reigning dog-surfing champion. They get into a fight, appalling the Petco executives in the process. As a result, Phil hires a dog trainer named Anton to help him control Marmaduke, albeit with little success.

Marmaduke decides to run away. The next morning, Phil must decide whether to skip an important meeting at work, or help the family look for Marmaduke. The strip was created by Anderson, and sold to the John F. Dille Co. (later known as the National Newspaper Syndicate) in 1954. [2] Anderson said he drew on Laurel and Hardy routines for his ideas. [3] Anderson illustrated the strip, writing it with help from Phil Leeming (1955–1962) and later Dorothy Leeming (1963–1969), and, after August 2, 2004, [ citation needed] Anderson's son Paul.
