If you’re into animated movies about adorable anthropomorphic animals with ambition, you’re having a hell of a year. We had fluffballs seeking reality TV stardom in Sing, snugglepuffs on a cross-metropolitan voyage home in The Secret Life of Pets, and of course an adorable little bunny who dreamed of becoming an officer in the crown jewel Zootopia. Now, we’ve got a look at Rock Dog, the tale of a pooch who’s on a predetermined path to becoming a guard dog when a radio literally falls into his hands, fueling the fire of his passion for music and the self-realization that he doesn’t want to be a good boy, he wants to rock.

The trailer looks sweet and harmless, if not necessarily dazzling. I’ll admit, I’m an easy target for a film like this since I will watch cute little animals do just about anything, but the rock-n-roll based premise leaves plenty of ground for a family film that can play for kids and adults, although they really seem to be pushing this Fleetwood Yak gag, so hopefully there’s a bit more to offer.

Directed by Ash Brannon (Toy Story 2) from a script he co-penned with Kurt Voelker, Rock Dog arrives in theater February 24, 2017 and boasts a first-rate voice cast line-up including JK Simmons, Luke Wilson, Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black, Kenan Thompson, Mae Whitman, Jorge Garcia, Matt Dillon, and Sam Elliot. Watch the first trailer below.
