Spione Undercover - Eine wilde Verwandlung

Just out of cinema - my two kids and I laughed a lot. Scenario is not very complex but it is a kid movie don't forget 😉 I find it refreshing to have a action comedy as a cartoon

A spy... who turns into a pigeon? I love it! Blue Sky Studios made excellent use of this idea with great animation, fun characters, exciting action scenes and, most importantly, the dynamic chemistry between the voice actors Will Smith and Tom Holland. These very different characters (one a suave secret agent and the other a meek inventor) interact in very engaging and funny ways. This film exceeded my expectations.

Even the voice of the Fresh Prince is charming enough to make a good movie great. Will is the man as a man turned into a bird. Tom Holland was pretty amazing too. For those of you who love his run as Spider-Man, there is enough of that inside this character to have you loving it. Also shout out to Ben Mendelssohn as the villain robot hand. Perfect for a 007 inspired feature. Also, very cool hearing DJ Khalid's voice coming out of a character called sound. Then the most important part, the animation itself which was quite amazing. They did some thangs that really captured my eye and fully helped pushed a great story. Overall, It's fantastic.

A fun story and funny characters make this film one that the whole family can enjoy. Be prepared to learn pigeon facts!

Nerdy Walter Beckett (Tom Holland) made gadgets for his hero cop mom until her sacrifice. He spends his time making non-lethal gadgets for a secret spy organization. Super spy Lance Sterling (Will Smith) is angered by one of his devices and fires him on the spot. Lance wants things that go boom. Then Lance is accused of stealing and goes on the run to clear his name. The only person who can help is the nerd he fired earlier. Walter has a new secret potion and Lance takes it before being told that it would turn him into a pigeon.

I was expecting worst but this is actually fun. Holland and Smith are a good duo. Smith is being a cartoon Smith which is the normal Smith. Holland is a nerdy kid. They're great together. Solid animation is from Blue Sky. I'm happy that the other birds don't talk but Lance can hear them. The last act does go on a bit too long. It's biggest mistake is probably the forgettable title. I'm looking straight at it and I still don't remember it. Call it James Bird. This is good for adults and probably fun for the kids.
