Spies in Disguise

THE GIST: When the slickest spy in the world is framed by a terrorist, he goes into hiding. Looking for help from a nerdy inventor, he inadvertently ends up transformed in a pigeon, which forces the two of them to work together to stop the terrorist from causing total mayhem.

With the large number of animated movies that populate the multiplexes nowadays, a title needs something special to stand out. Spies in Disguise is not really memorable, but the story is original enough to make it enjoyable, even though it clearly borrows from live-action spies like Bond or the M.I.B. agents.

Will Smith and Tom Holland do an admirable job of giving life to the main characters.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The little ones, who are still the target audience for animated flicks, will certainly enjoy themselves but us grown ups will find plenty to like in it as well.
