!!Meta and Non-Canon
* The Art of Captain Underpants book has a comic in the beginning by Dav Pilkey explaining his life, the end of it is really touching as it shows how proud he is of Dreamworks Animation and their work on the movie.
--> ''"People sometimes ask me if it was hard to let go of my characters. It was not. It is the greatest reward to see them live and grow and flourish in a world that is bigger and more beautiful than I could ever imagined."''
* In an interview, Dav Pilkey says this on David Soren taking over to direct the film:
--> '''"Once I met David, it was like a huge load fell off my back; I was like 'I don't even have to think about this anymore. Just send me a couple tickets to the premiere.'"''
* The explosion of new fan art, posts, and fandom growth that spawned with the movie's release. You just ''know'' some of these artists and creators read (and loved) the books as children and are now revisiting their childhood after all these years.
* Weird Al's song has this for some. Even if it's... well, it's a Weird Al song, it's going to be silly, he still sounds so earnest and honest about the good Captain. It takes the Captain seriously... and for some that's what we've wanted for a really long time.
-->''"It's the Waistband Warrior, hear his mighty battle cry!"''
* [[https://o-capitan-mi-capitan.tumblr.com/post/160836348437/concept-captain-underpants-gets-more-info-on-who This]] piece of fan art is the combination of this and TearJerker. [[http://celebi9.tumblr.com/post/161396486515/some-cu-spoilers-belowmore-i-think-one-of This]] too.
* Due to choosing to stay mostly uninvolved with the movie’s production process, Dav Pilkey didn't know that Music/WeirdAlYankovic did the theme song for the movie until the music video was released, and was over the moon when he saw it! When he gushed about it on [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BT_-ncNBtJ5/ Instagram]], director David Soren replied, "You wanted to be surprised, so... SURPRISE!"
* [[http://angerydj.tumblr.com/post/161396230730/let-them-sleep-3c "Let them sleep."]]
* Almost two weeks after the movie's release, Dav Pilkey posted a video on his [=YouTube=] about his writing process. But the real heartwarming thing was the comment that he himself left in the video's comment section:
-->''Hey everybody,''
-->''Have you had the chance to see the new Captain Underpants movie yet? I've seen it SIX times already and we're going again next Saturday.''
-->''Gotta give thanks to director David Soren for getting it RIGHT. He perfectly captured the heart and soul of the books, and even managed to give mean ol' Mr. Krupp a bit of humanity (I wish I'd done more of that in the books).''
-->''Thanks to Ed Helms for his amazing and hilarious vocal chops! And Kevin and Thomas were PERFECT as George and Harold. If the Academy Awards ever makes a category for "Best Scene-Stealing Supa-Villain", then Nick Kroll is a shoe-in.''
-->''Thank you to everyone at Dreamworks Animation for your thoughtful care and dedication. You can really feel the LOVE up there on the screen!''
-->''-Dav Pilkey''
* This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWdlgSTFLC4 fan animatic]] made by the molina twins shows a scene in the winter time. Principal Krupp reluctantly asks a depressed Harold where George is (not that he cares). Harold explains that George is home sick with the chicken pox, and is worried sick for him. Krupp tells him that he should make something for his friend and have someone send it to him. Harold thanks Krupp for the idea and ''volunteering'' (via finger snap). Back home, George is feeling miserable and brightens up the moment Captain Underpants comes through his window. C.U. then presents him a gift; a Captain Underpants comic book made by Harold.
* The fact that Dav Pilkey has gone out of his way to like and comment on almost every piece of ''Captain Underpants'' or ''Dog Man''-related fanart on Instagram.

* When Mr. Krupp reveals that Mr. Fyde isn't with them anymore, a girl misinterprets this as he's dead and starts crying. Considering what a horrible school this is, it's surprising that one of the kids would mourn their teacher. It probably helps that Mr. Fyde is the only known teacher and (along with Edith) the only staff member who ''isn't'' a jerk to the kids.
