Spies in Disguise

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.

Ok so I'm very into animation and everything and history behind studios. I went into this movie with low expectations. Blue sky was always just kind of there. My family never went to see any of their movies in theaters. It's Christmas and we went with a cute kids movie because we were seeing it with grandparents. I was blown away. Yes it is kind of a predictable plot but it has a nice spin on it. I liked the emphasis on how violence isn't always the option, and how the movie delivered it in a non cheesy way. Tom Holland and Will Smith worked great together. I laughed a lot. Animation was colorful and fluid and I was surprised how much action was in this movie. I liked how it was an original idea and not just another sequel. Walked out happy, had a great time. Fun to see with family!

I have to admit that I wasn't really expecting much from the 2019 animated movie "Spies In Disguise", but I got to sit down and watch it with the family nonetheless.

And now having seen it, I must say that "Spies In Disguise" was quite a nice surprise of a movie. It was as enjoyable and entertaining as it was nicely made and nicely animated. It had a good story and even better characters. And the story had enough action and comedy to keep me entertained through the entire course of the movie.

As an animated movie, having a proper voice cast ensemble is a make or break, and they definitely had a good cast for this movie, and that must certainly added to the overall enjoyment of the story.

Now, the art style was a bit odd for me, given the elongated heads and very long legs, but you quickly come to accept it and take it for as is.

I mentioned the movie had good characters, but it was the animated birds that fully and wholeheartedly stole the spotlight. The bird sidekicks were so funny that you can watch the movie for them alone.

If you enjoy animated movies, then you definitely should take the time to sit down and watch "Spies In Disguise". I am rating it a solid six out of ten stars. It offers something for young and adults alike.

The VERDICT:

Spies in Disguise had a lot of delays and to be honest, the movie does not shatter too many things when it comes to originality or that unique energy Disney does. This does not mean the film is bad though, and in fact it's quite enjoyable. Animation wise it's clean, bringing a design that matches the fun nature of the film, with comedy and adventure around every bin. And though much of the movie is a blur, the film succeeds to expand to other audience members and get some character development going, that fits in theme with the creative approach to the spy thriller. It's true the balance to silliness does veer off at times, and the villain needs some of that time to really get the full effect, but for the most part the movie's biggest limitation is not having that Disney spark and giving too much away in the trailers. Still, this film feels like a good theater run thanks to the fun adventure and special effects, especially if you have a little ones or a group to go with. If not, then please check this out and enjoy the fun ride.

My scores are:

Animation/Action/Adventure: 7.5 Movie Overall: 7.0

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