The Bad Guys: Breaking In

The Bad Guys: Breaking In is one of those rare animated series that sneaks up on you - you start it for fun and laughs, and before you know it, you're emotionally invested. It perfectly balances heart, humor, and chaos, making it enjoyable for kids and surprisingly meaningful for adults.

The comedy genuinely lands. The jokes are fast, clever, and character-driven rather than forced slapstick. Mr. Wolf's inner conflict, Snake's dry sarcasm, and Shark's innocent goofiness create moments that are laugh-out-loud funny while still feeling warm and sincere. The writing understands that comedy works best when you care about the characters - and here, you really do.

What truly elevates the series is its heartfelt emotional core. At its center, Breaking In is about redemption, friendship, and the struggle to change when the world keeps judging you by your past. Those moments of vulnerability hit hard - not in a melodramatic way, but in a quietly honest, relatable way. You root for these "bad guys" because their emotions feel real.

The animation is 7/10 - clean, stylish, and expressive, though not groundbreaking. While it doesn't always reach feature-film polish, it absolutely serves the story well, especially in facial expressions and comedic timing.

Overall, Bad Guys: Breaking In delivers way more than expected: genuine laughs, emotional depth, and characters you end up loving. It's proof that animated series don't need perfection to be powerful - they just need heart.

Final verdict: 10/10 Funny, emotional, and surprisingly soulful - a must-watch animated series that leaves you smiling and feeling something.

So, I saw the movies when they were originally in the movie theaters, But I heard they were getting a TV show, and I decided to give it a shot. I did not like how the animation looks. It looks poor quality for me. And I also did not like how the actors from the movie got replaced for the show. I still might watch the movies.

I am biased to the original voice actors which is something I could not get past hence my low rating. But if you can well then hey more power to you because you're already the better human.

Story lines are good and fun. Ugh but the voices!! I'm sorry but I just couldn't. This is absolutely no disrespect to these voice actors because they are good. It's not them it's me. You know how when you meet someone who for whatever reason you just don't vibe with; so now you forever associate their name with that vibe and think "no way am I ever giving that name to my kid." Well it's like that just not negative. Make sense?

Anyway, the kids will love it.

The Bad Guys: Breaking In (2025-) is an animated television series in the Bad Guys franchise and it follows the title characters during their early days as criminals. This is a show that literally came out of nowhere for me, so I decided to binge the entire show and it was fantastic.

Positives for The Bad Guys: Breaking In (2025-): It was cool to see these characters during the early stages as criminals. I liked seeing them wanting to become known for something notorious when it comes to their crimes. The voice cast is really good here even if it isn't the cast from the movies. The animation style still looks amazing which is always the case when it comes to DreamWorks Animation. And finally, the show is binge to through as it is only 9 episodes with 25 minutes per episode.

Negatives for The Bad Guys: Breaking In (2025-): There is no reason for this show is exist aside from Sony Pictures wanting attention from the audience and trying to get people to be on their side. The show also answers questions I wasn't asking and giving me answers that I don't like at all.

Overall, The Bad Guys: Breaking In (2025-) is a great addition to the Bad Guys franchise and I am looking forward to seeing if we get a Season 2.

I don't know why people still make TV show spinoffs from animated movies. I mean, did they not learn from the Megamind sequels???

I loved the first Bad Guy movie (still have yet to see the second). Great animation, great voice acting, entertaining overall. But... this?

Poor animation (they tried to do Sony's choppy budget-style and utterly failed). Changed voice actors and the only one that sounds close to the original is Shark. Story is made for the target audience but years younger.

I seriously don't understand how they think this will make any money or be popular at all. I'd rewatch the movies instead and count this as non-canon.
