The classic 1980s animated series Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds is coming to the big screen and we now have our first look at the characters.

Based on Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers, the series used anthropomorphised dogs to tell the stories of the titular guardsman Athos, Porthos and Aramis.

Dogtanian has travelled to Paris in order to become one of the musketeers himself, where he saves maid-in-waiting Juliette and battles the villainous Cardinal Richelieu.
