A Bird's-Eye View of Animated Caper 'Spies in Disguise'
A Bird's-Eye View of Animated Caper 'Spies in Disguise'
Spies in Disguise star Masi Oka and directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane talk about their animated action adventure about a spy-turned-pigeon and his young, tech-obsessed sidekick.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe hotel where Lance first tracks Kimura is a real place, the Blue Bay Hotel and Resort Grand Esmeralda, and it is really located in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
- GoofsWalter tells Lance that in precisely 42 seconds he will transform into a pigeon. The process actually takes 2 whole minutes.
This is played for laughs and Walter himself is not exactly sure of what he is doing.
- Quotes
Lance Sterling: Walter, what did you do?
Walter Beckett: Pigeons are everywhere, and nobody notices them! It's the most perfect form a spy can take!
Lance Sterling: UNBIRD ME, RIGHT NOW!
[Ursula, the female pigeon tries to cuddle with Lance]
Lance Sterling: Stop, girl! Seriously!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits follow the style of James Bond films, by coming after a short opening scene, and having moving silhouettes.

Featured review
Disguised As Kiddy Spy Film, But These Agents Are Action Packed
LIKES:
Smooth Animation Style A More Unique Concept Funny Fun Good Pace Heartfelt Moments Music Creativity With Gadgets Action At The End
DISLIKES:
A Bit Over silly At Times Villain Needing A Little More Tweak Some underutilized characters The Commercial Syndrome
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
