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

Nerdy Walter Beckett (Tom Holland) made gadgets for his hero cop mom until her sacrifice. He spends his time making non-lethal gadgets for a secret spy organization. Super spy Lance Sterling (Will Smith) is angered by one of his devices and fires him on the spot. Lance wants things that go boom. Then Lance is accused of stealing and goes on the run to clear his name. The only person who can help is the nerd he fired earlier. Walter has a new secret potion and Lance takes it before being told that it would turn him into a pigeon.

I was expecting worst but this is actually fun. Holland and Smith are a good duo. Smith is being a cartoon Smith which is the normal Smith. Holland is a nerdy kid. They're great together. Solid animation is from Blue Sky. I'm happy that the other birds don't talk but Lance can hear them. The last act does go on a bit too long. It's biggest mistake is probably the forgettable title. I'm looking straight at it and I still don't remember it. Call it James Bird. This is good for adults and probably fun for the kids.

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.

Just out of cinema - my two kids and I laughed a lot. Scenario is not very complex but it is a kid movie don't forget 😉 I find it refreshing to have a action comedy as a cartoon

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.
