Will Smith, Tom Holland star in the animated 'Spies in Disguise,'in which a secret agent is transformed into a pigeon with the help of a nerdy scientist in this animated comedy.
didn’t exactly light the world on fire. So it’s nice that he’s closing out the year on a more positive note, with the insubstantial but lightly entertaining animated spy feature “Spies in Disguise.”
Longtime animation artists Nick Bruno and Troy Quane make their directorial debuts on the film, written by Brad Copeland and Lloyd Taylor.
What becomes apparent is that introducing and then skewering those tropes is at the heart of “Spies in Disguise,” a film that wonders if conflict could be cuddlier and if lone wolves can work as a team or perhaps a flock. Smith voices the smooth Lance Sterling, super spy and the star of his agency headed up by a tough talking Southern-twanged boss, Joy Jenkins .
The tables are turned when the arrogant Sterling needs Walter’s help to go underground, after finding himself at the center of an internal affairs investigation led by the hard-hitting Marcy , who has accused Sterling of theft and sabotage. At Walter’s home lab, Sterling gulps down a mysterious liquid and transforms into a pigeon. On the run from his own agency in avian form, Sterling’s going to have to learn to use his wings, and fast.
There’s a warm message of companionship and teamwork at the center of “Spies in Disguise,” but what makes it subversive is its emphasis on gentler methods of conflict resolution, or at least less bloody ones. It’s refreshing to see bubbles, bubblegum and lots of kitty glitter defeat deadly robots. “Spies in Disguise,” despite a fun chemistry between Smith and Holland, is a lot like a soap bubble: pretty to watch, entertaining for a bit, but disappears on contact. It’s entertaining but ephemeral.
