Espías en manada

I watched "Spycies" with my 9 year old daughter and we both enjoyed it quite a bit. I can honestly say that I wasn't bored for a minute and I'd even gladly give "Spycies" another watch after some time.

When it comes to Chinese CG animated films I can clearly see why people are cautious and somehow prejudiced. There have been numerous badly animated, borderline unwatchable rip-offs and mash-ups of popular western hits by Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Blue Sky, etc. Well, I'm happy to say that "Spycies" is not one of them, even if being an action-thriller with anthropomorphic animal characters it surely bears some obvious similarities to Zootopia, but hey, it surely is not a copycat. "Spycies" is its own thing and it is awesome!

The animation quality is high above average, the character designs, the machines and the environments are really something. The action sequences are stylish and dynamic. But what makes it a great watch are the likable characters, the comic relief hits the mark, and the plot is intriguing, with some nice twists and turns. The villain is properly motivated and the reveal who's behind it all is surely a surprise for the younger audience.

It's not the very best animated film out there, but it certainly deserves more credit and the current IMDb rating is below 6, which I think is not really fair. If you're a fan of anthropomorphic heroes such as "Blacksad", "Biker Mice from Mars", "Zootopia", "DuckTales", etc. you should give it a try.

As soon some people hear that its chinese, they really get a negative attitude towards it. But to my suprise i actually watched this movie cause i was unable to change my movie at the time. Unbelievable i really enjoyed the movie , original story

China... they do some things very good (like food, trains and building skyscrapers), but one thing they suck at, is copying things... This is one of those examples.

Where Zootopia is a 10/10 animation movie, this is only a 4/10. A poor attempt, with inferior animation, bad voice acting, bad 'jokes' and a predictable plot. Maybe they should stick to food, or just hire a better EVERYTHING next time they think about making a movie.

I didn't think American liberal activists could be responsible for ruining a China/France production.

This started off so well, then started to show signs of social agenda indoctrination and messages, instead of a decent plot. Ridiculously blaming global warming for the extinction of mammoths, is the whole movie.

Hopefully, the next one they create will have writers for ideas, not activists.

I don't have a lot of faith in animated movies from overseas, but this one definitely surprised me. If this had been produced in North America, it likely would have been a big theatrical release. A lot of work went into this world - the places, the scenery, the characters. Effort also went into telling an original entertaining story. As I watched it I wasn't letting the movie flash by the screen just to wait for the conclusion, but was genuinely interested in what was going on. That's not to say this is the best movie ever, no. But a solid eight, for what it is, I feel is very deserved. If you enjoy movies that feature anthropomorphic animals instead of human characters, you can't go wrong here. And don't hit stop once the credits begin either, there's a couple more scenes you'll find rather humorous!
