Sneaks: De Pisante Novo

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.

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.

This well animated and thoughtful storyline make this movie a must see for fans of Toy Story and other similar children's flicks that teach us how to cope and grow through adversity. Often times these children's movies can leave the viewers above the age of 14 bored and disengaged but Sneaks is a fun time for all ages. I will not give any spoilers away but you can expect a some unexpected twists and turns along the way. My children laughed and I laughed at many of the same scenes for different reasons , which speaks of the quality writing for this movie. If you want a good animated family movie to watch Sneaks is for you !!

Ten years ago this would have made the perfect family film dreamworks or Nickelodeon animation studios would have made big. Today, you're gonna likely miss it because of all the bigger budgeted and heavily advertised other films out there.

The story is a pretty solid one and funny too. The music is good with some new music and an old school vibe to it all. Martin Lawrence is hilarious and for those gen X folks like myself, there's some throwback to the show brands we grew up with.

This is a family movie that I put up there with Toy Story because it was nice to get a fresh perspective on a story Disney and Nickelodeon has told pretty much in everything.
