Sneaks

Edson wins a pair of unique basketball shoes. The Collector is frustrated in losing the raffle and offers to pay the world for them. Edson turns him down and intends to wear them in a big basketball game. Shoes in this world are like the toys in Toy Story. This pair is Ty and Maxine. Ty wants to stay clean and pure while Maxine is excited to get into the game. The Collector refuses to let it go and tries to steal them. Ty is happy to go into the collection, but Maxine manages to escape.

I don't mind the lower quality animation. The jankiness feels a bit like stop-motion and graffiti. It's not the most advanced or expensive. It does feel like it fits. I don't agree with Edson to wear the shoes. Here's my pitch. Make them worn in-game shoes from his favorite player. He thinks that they will give him powers from that player. There is an extra unnecessary character which muddles the premise. It's a cleaner story to leave it all on The Collector. There are problems here, but it's not anywhere near the worst movie of the year.

Both my son and daughter liked this movie, which is rare in our household. Some cute adult humor as well which made it nice for the whole family. It's a little slow at times, but had a nice message about brothers and sisters looking out for each-other and a nice moral in the end. There aren't many family-friendly movies out there. I definitely recommend if your kids are into sneaker culture (and even if they aren't!) not sure why this has so many low ratings. Is it going to make your list of favorite movie of all time, maybe not but def recommend for a family trip to the cinema. Also great music and fun for basketball players with Chris Paul.

Story reminds me of Toy Story. I enjoyed it. Well animated. I really liked it. There is a good voice cast with some Hollywood stars. It's strange watching sneakers talk, but that did not spoil my viewing . The plot is Sneaks follows the adventures of Ty, a misguided designer sneaker who does not know life outside the comforts of his velvet-lined shoe box. After his sister is stolen by a shady collector, Ty must venture into New York City to find and rescue her. In his adventure, Ty meets a rag-tag group of footwear friends from all walks of life who help him find the courage to step outside of his shoe box and find his "sole-mate."

This move was made for siblings. The rivalry and the closeness that siblings experience are displayed throughout the film. Like a pair of sneaks they are your other half for better or worst.

The voice casting is phenomenal.

Loved the animation style. The details in different pairs of shoes you don't realize it looking at shoes everyday, but the detail was seen and put on display in high definition on close up scenes.

Truthfully I did cry a bit towards the end during the emotional scene. It also brought to light how much personal value into a pair of shoes. Whether good or bad.

The scenes were the shoes helped each other was a highlight for me, because Whether in singles or pairs they did everything to help each other.

Sporting an all-star voice cast from all corners of the world, Sneaks is the animted tale of not just the secret lives of shoes, but also the humans who they support.

The story centers around the key question we often ask ourselves: is life better served playing it safe or throwing caution to the wind? If you step out of your box, you're more likely to experience the highs of life but often at the costs of a few scuffs. And ultimately scuffs in life are okay, even can be seen as a "badge of honor" by some.

Overall this is a fun little movie for the family. The animation is solid, the jokes are witty, and the message is strong.
