As a Hollywood model, Keanu Reeves has voiced several animated films, and two years ago he also voiced Toy Story 4 when he worked with Disney. After all, in the field of animated films, Disney is far ahead. This time Keanu cooperated with Warner as a voice actor, and Dawn Johnson also had to do dubbing work for "DC Cute Pet Task Force", which is enough to show that these Hollywood celebrities are very supportive of DC's cute pet series. Keanu dubbed the character he voiced as "Four Legs Friend", Jared Stern wrote the screenplay for the series, and Sam Levine joined the creative team, where they co-directed the series for Warner Media and Warner Animation Group. Fans have known that Boulder's voice is very similar to "Super Dog Krypton", and he became the voice of this character.
Although Super Dog Krypton is still a "newcomer" to the DC characters on the big screen, the character is already an old character in the field of comics - it first appeared in chapter 210 of the 1955 DC Adventure Comics. At the beginning, DC did not have a superhero and a cute pet, if this character was built as a hero (whether it is a decent or villain), its characteristics and popularity may rank behind the ace bathound or pet octopus. Now Warner has formed "DC Cute Pet Task Force" for the pet supporting roles in these DC Comics movies, which is known as the "Justice League" in the DC animated film industry. Keanu Reeves joined the voice cast of "DC Cute Pet Task Force", which also makes the cast and creative lineup of this series more luxurious, and in terms of cost investment, it may make Warner Bros. a little nervous.

Fans who follow Hollywood know that in the era of theater closures, Hollywood's large film studios, which are usually not short of money, have also fallen into the situation of "hard days". Without the cinema box office revenue, although the online TV is aimed at a wider audience, the online platform obtains relatively little revenue, and most film and television dramas are difficult to recover the cost no matter how high the ratings are obtained on the Disney Channel, HBO or Netflix platforms. However, now in the opening stage of the Hollywood streaming media era, each network TV strives for the number of users, and constantly needs its own film industry to give works. This is more evident on disney channels – in the first half of 2021, from "Wanda Vision" to "Rocky", the platform has hardly stopped the supply of fresh works, stabilizing the Disney Channel's user base. At the same time, Disney also bought the rights to the creation of the Star Wars series.
Also as a well-known veteran film industry in Hollywood, many people pointed out that Warner can only alleviate the financial crisis in the special period by blindly cutting the cost of the film. In the talk show, the Za director and his wife revealed that Warner's new management was not kind in terms of investment in the film, and the director couple "begged" Warner for a long time for the million-dollar investment of "Justice League". Before the cast and dubbing lineup of "DC Cute Pet Task Force" came out, the author (watching the movie with self-satisfaction) found that many fans claimed that this DC Cute Pet Special was a "seven-dollar movie", which means that the shooting cost of the series is very low, and everyone should not have any expectations in terms of the quality of such works. Kevin Hart, who is the voice actor for the film, when he talks about the cost of the Warner film, doesn't think it's in a difficult stage right now.
"The road ahead will be even tougher." Kevin Hart talks about the cost of Warner films in this way, which is a sign that the established film studios need to transform. Hart believes that Disney's financial problems will not affect the cost of shooting the superhero series, because Marvel is in the form of a working group, and the studio can get more revenue from other places. Moreover, the copyright of Disney's works is very extensive, giving them the opportunity to "tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall" in the era of theater closure. However, Warner is more difficult in this regard, in the DC superhero series that began to release last year, these works have good ratings, but it seems that only "Wonder Woman 1984" did not lose money, and it is normal for Warner films to cut costs.
