Alex Borstein as Police Chief Misty Luggins, the hot-tempered human chief of police who is determined to arrest The Bad Guys at any cost.Even though it's based on a popular series of children's books, if you've seen Zootopia, you've seen the better version of The Bad Guys. As far as entertainment aimed at the wee ones, you can certainly do worse. It's brisk, silly, and the animation is quite enjoyable, adding hand-drawn overlays and accents that really make the images pop and provide additional, gratifying textures. The story, on the other hand, is the same old-same old. We have a group of "scary animals" in a world where anthropomorphized creatures walk side-by-side with humans. These spooky creatures get a bad rap because people fear them, so they lean into social prejudices and become a notorious criminal gang. Except now they might want to go good because being good feels better than being bad. Thematically, it's the same territory that Zootopia trod and with better world-building. We have "bad animals" that are tired of being looked as bad because people wrongly interpret them as scary threats. It's the predator/prey dynamic but without the depth. Having an all-animal heist crew provides some creative entertainment and Ocean's 11-style moments of frothy fun; I especially enjoyed that the giant shark is the team's master of disguise and always very obvious. The character arcs, supposed betrayals, redemption, and plot should be familiar and predictable, which means much of the movie must coast on the appeal of the animation, vocal actors, and general sense of humor. The comedy can be amusing but too often falls upon cheap gags, like the piranha's defining trait of being a nervous farter. The Bad Guys is suitable for animation aficionados, fans of the book series, and people who have never seen Zootopia, and if that's you, then just watch Zootopia. This is the feature directorial debut of Pierre Pierfel, who directed the award-winning short Bilby and was an animator on Kung Fu Panda (10/15/19). Rubin, Rebecca (April 20, 2022).
