But here's the twist: this furry hero isn't your average canine.

The film, produced by Canada's Icon Creative Studio, promises a blend of humor, action, and heartfelt moments. Directed by Shea Wageman, it stars none other than Owen Wilson as the voice of Charlie, bringing his signature charm to the role. But that's not all—the film also boasts an original score by Petteri Sainio and fresh tunes from rock icon Bryan Adams, ensuring an immersive auditory experience.
"'Charlie the Wonderdog' embodies the perfect family film, combining heartwarming themes with laughter and a powerful message," shared Viva Kids CEO Victor Elizalde. "Owen Wilson's portrayal of Charlie will captivate audiences of all ages."
Icon Creative's CEO and writer-director, Wageman, expressed enthusiasm, stating, "Viva's marketing prowess and extensive reach are precisely what 'Charlie' needs to become a household name."
