This Animated Spy Movie Is a Must-Watch For Fans of Despicable Me & Inside Out
You sure missed it upon release.
The world has only two types of people: the ones who can’t live without animated movies, and the ones who couldn’t care less. Well lucky us: we are definitely the members of the first team, so we wait passionately for every new release.
After the stunning success of Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4, the fans of animated movies felt desperate need to dig into the world of animation with newfound passion. The good thing is that the market is actually full of so many great movies nobody knows about.
One of the films that is perfect to rewatch after Despicable Me is the 2019 movie called Spies in Disguise. It centers on a really unlikely tandem of a successful spy named Lance Sterling and his super awkward coworker Walter.
The two of them appear in the center of a huge disaster and team up to save the world. But the most important and actually the funniest thing is that due to the mismatch of Walter’s work in the lab, a gadget went wrong and turned Lance into a… pigeon.
Can you imagine the two totally different personalities getting together and being forced to work in a team? And like it's not enough, one of them changes the species? The actors playing the main characters are Will Smith and Tom Holland, and there couldn't be a better match.
“Feels like it flew a bit under the radar, but seeing most of the other stuff made in 2019 I think it is rather exceptionally well made. Voiced excellently by Will Smith and Tom Holland, but Ben Mendelsohn as the villain is stealing any scene his character is in. The story is original, not overcomplicated, and it does not feel like they go too over the top with the need to be emotional and deep, which is very popular with Pixar stuff,” Redditor DoTheEvolution said.
