"...a charming animated feature that asks a profound question: is behaviour, good or bad, a matter of nature or nurture?"
Sharply animated and wittily performed by the all-star cast, we're in Sing/Zootopia territory as once again anthropomorphic animals run the show. Sam Rockwell ...
The cast are impressive, so much so that it might have been preferable to make this a live action movie. Some are a bit obvious, but it’s hard to imagine many kids, or even younger parents, getting the nods to classics like Bullitt. Nonetheless, revelling in the mischief is effective in the same manner that made Despicable Me so enjoyable. Their latest caper, The Bad Guys, isn’t much better, but at least it tries something different.

Finally, there is Tiffany Fluffit, a reporter voiced by Lilly Singh with a knack for the dramatic and sensational, especially when it comes to covering Mr. Fox and his various exploits. And despite being the youngest member of the gang, Ms. Tarantula is also its most independent. At the center of THE BAD GUYS – both the group and the movie – is Mr. Wolf, who has long been perceived by society as being a charming yet cunning con-artist who will do anything to better his own position in life and make it to the next score. Next up is Governor Diane Foxington, a red fox voiced by Zazi Beetz who has long since changed her ways from being a notorious criminal of her own. Then there is Alex Borstein’s Police Chief Misty Luggins, who has had her sights set on nabbing Mr. Fox for a very long time. Equal parts courageous and excitable, it doesn’t take much to get Mr. Piranha fired up, but be careful, as he is known to expel a terrible-smelling gas when his nerves get the best of him. She’s also set to appear in Disney’s upcoming remake of THE LITTLE MERMAID. With an over-the-top character like Mr. Shark it should come as no surprise that an equally over-the-top actor was cast to provide his voice. On April 22, THE BAD GUYS, the latest feature-length film from DreamWorks Animation will open at AMC Theatre locations nationwide, and bring with it a unique cast of characters from multiple species who all live in a world where humans and anthropomorphic animals coexist, for the most part anyway. But that’s only if he can get the rest of his crew on board with the latest scheme. Outside of the main group of supposedly reformed thieves in THE BAD GUYS, the movie also features loads of supporting characters who help or hinder the gang in one way or another. Despite his small size and stature, Mr. Piranha is the muscle of the eponymous group in THE BAD GUYS and will do anything to see that his partners make it through their various jobs unscathed.

With Kate Swanborg, senior vice-president of technology communications and strategic alliances at DreamWorks Animation.
Kate says it’s part of a revolution since characters had something of a “plasticky” finish in the early days of computer animation, to more a realistic - but data-heavy - appearance of fur and water effects. Kate spoke to Tech & Science Daily ahead of the release of animation caper The Bad Guys, featuring a stellar cast including Sam Rockwell, Awkwafina and Richard Ayoade. Kate Swanborg, senior vice-president of technology communications and strategic alliances at the US movie giant founded by Steven Spielberg, says there has been a “leap forward” in computer graphics capabilities since the 2001 fairytale hit starring Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy.

It's a snappy dialogue between Wolf and Snake at a diner concerning the gustatory appeal of guinea pigs. There's certainly a nod to Quentin Tarantino in the opening scene. Our titual anti-heroes are a group of creatures who are members of species regularly hated and feared.

Outside the United States, we sadly don’t know the plans for Dreamworks and Illumination titles as of yet. As a result, don’t expect to be streaming The Bad Guys at the end of 2022 as the US will. That window is 18 months in total and starts 45 days after the film releases theatrically.

How he essentially “autographed” the film is revealed in the interview below. And maybe a little bit more. They’ve two choices – a long prison sentence or turning themselves into The Good Guys.

If you wondered where Disney animators got the idea for the living tea cups in Beauty and the Beast, here’s your answer.
