Spies in Disguise
Directed by Nick Bruno, Troy Quane
Super spy Lance Sterling and scientist Walter Beckett are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is… not. But what Walter lacks in social skills he makes up for in smarts and invention, creating the awesome gadgets Lance uses on his epic missions. But when events take an unexpected turn, Walter and Lance suddenly have to rely on each other in a whole new way. From TMDB

60 of 82 · most liked firstHas the animation community ever caught on to the fact that Annapurna's new animation division is basically a resurrected Blue Sky Studios? And I don't say it just because they picked up the slack on Nimona and the final cut shares the same directors as Spies in Disguise, Blue Sky's last film.
neutral · AI labelView post →That's how we got Spies in Disguise, a film where Tom Holland turns Will Smith into a pigeon. It has zero of the story, characters, or art style of the original. The movie was inherited by Disney in the buyout, and forgotten. The indie animator got rich and kept making art. Happy ending.

neutral · AI labelView post →Spies in Disguise was the final movie before Blue Sky closed, and in it we have a spy (Will Smith) and a young scientist (Tom Holland) who team up together. Smith turns into a pigeon (better than when he was a fish). Holland is much like Spider-Man and that he is socially awkward but a tech genius.
neutral · AI labelView post →As a pigeon owner, kind of emotional over Spies in Disguise. If you worked on this movie, genuinely, thank you from the bottom of our hearts
positive · AI labelView post →Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great. #FilmSky Spies in Disguise (2019)
positive · AI labelView post →6 years ago today, ‘SPIES IN DISGUISE’ released in theaters. The film starred Tom Holland and Will Smith.
neutral · AI labelView post →Very sad to live around the time this news was announced. Spies In Disguise was a good film, and the future of BlueSky could've been bright had Disney not made this terrible decision. I'm glad what's left of BlueSky survived against all odds and became an incredible film because of it.

neutral · AI labelView post →No one probably remembers Spies in Disguise, but it was honestly a solid swan song film for Bluesky; definitely recommend watching it at some point! It’s also hilarious how the message of the film is basically: “Maybe we don’t ACTUALLY have to kill people.” 😀
positive · AI labelView post →Happy 5th Anniversary to Blue Sky Studios’ last ever theatrical movie, Spies in Disguise! 🥳🎉
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched Spies in Disguise. Yet another movie with a POC stay a lot of time transformed into an animal (not as much as in any Disney movie tho, but still). My second complain is they fed bread to the birds. Other than that... I loved it, but I'm a simple woman: I see pigeon, I like.
positive · AI labelView post →The Spies in Disguise Blu-ray and Art of Book will definitely come in handy when you get to that film in Animation Lookback Blue Sky Studios.
neutral · AI labelView post →That’s true, I forgot about Princess and the Frog and Spies in Disguise. I feel like another reason for this could be for marketing reasons, executives thinking kids would only watch a movie if it has talking animals? Your point could be true too unfortunately. It’s a real darn shame for sure.
neutral · AI labelView post →They did have variety. They made Robots, Horton Hears a Who, Rio, Epic, The Peanuts Movie, Ferdinand, Spies in Disguise and were working on Nimona and the musical Foster when they were shut down. And pre-merger, they were working on a film about Ancient Egypt, but Fox decided they weren't interested
neutral · AI labelView post →They could but yeah, regardless, Chapeck should’ve let the movie had a chance. Not defending him. Though Spies in Disguise flopping may have also been a factor.

neutral · AI labelView post →Not before their last main project prior to it’s closure ended seeing the light of day. Which is exactly why I’m not stopping here after Spies in Disguise. I have one more film I love to discuss about, and a lot to talk about regarding their last major project before the…
neutral · AI labelView post →What’s crazy is they used to have a studio called BLUE SKY that shut down in 2021 they produced stuff like Ice Age and Robots and their very last film was Spies in Disguise if you find the time watch it or at least read the synopsis it’s about a spy and a young guy that invents weapons for the spies

neutral · AI labelView post →While I personally connect to Nick and Troy's other film for Blue Sky Studios, Spies in Disguise, moreso than this film, it's undeniable how well-crafted and important this film is both as a work of art and a great piece of LGBTQ+ representation. It's definitely a highlight of 2023 in animation.
positive · AI labelView post →#81 - Spies in Disguise (2019) This movie is utterly baffling in all the worst ways, what the FUCK happened here?! Complete tonal mismatch, more butthole jokes than pigeon jokes, huge leaps in logic, nonsensical moral dilemma, annoying cast I don’t care for, and only rarely funny. What a MESS.
negative · AI labelView post →It’s Tom-plicated is back with an episode on Spies in Disguise, an unsung, underrated gem amidst Tom’s fallow period. Hope you check out the film and our discussion! thepopbreak.com/2026/01/20/i...

positive · AI labelView post →He was great in The Playmobil Movie (played by Daniel Radcliffe) and Spies in Disguise (played by Will Smith).
neutral · AI labelView post →I want more Spies in Disguise. I still like that movie. Could not sustain a fandom with one film. But it had potential. Very popular with gay Russians. It's always melancholy when a cult fandom dies down and this is among the newest content we get. youtube.com/shorts/uWcNq...

neutral · AI labelView post →I hope the girl (whose name is Mabel, BTW) isn't black, as that would make this the latest of an annoying trend of POC having lead roles in animated films where they spend a sizable chunk of the film in a creature's body (Princess and the Frog, Soul, Spies in Disguise).

positive · AI labelView post →Spies in Disguise is an absolutely bonkers movie, with a truly wild gender reveal. Go for it, bisexual queen!
positive · AI labelView post →Spies in Disguise is such an underrated kids film. The spies are pigeons with gadgets that shoot glitter, rainbows, and cute cat pics! Who doesn't want to watch that? It totally deserves some sequels as well.
positive · AI labelView post →I saw Spies in Disguise (2019) It is... a movie. Tom Holland's character sounds like a diet version of Johnny Yong Bosch's rendition of Nate in the YoKai Watch series

Stine's Zombie Town will be the last movie I've seen in theatres for a while. Previously it was Spies in Disguise. No yeah it's better. It's not good. But it's better.
