Sneaks: Animated Adventure Laces Up Heart, Humor and Star Power

Sneaks, the new animated sports comedy directed by Rob Edwards, is a vibrant, feel-good film that takes audiences on a whirlwind journey through the streets of New York City—all from the perspective of a designer sneaker. Ty (Anthony Mackie) is a shoe who’s never left the comfort of his velvet-lined box, but when his beloved sister Maxine (Chloe Bailey) is snatched by a shady collector (Laurence Fishburne), Ty is forced to step out into the world for the first time.

The film’s greatest strength is its ensemble cast. Martin Lawrence brings comic relief as JB, while Macy Gray, Swae Lee, and a host of music and sports stars add flair and personality to Ty’s ragtag group of friends. The animation, handled by Mumbai’s Assemblage Entertainment, is colorful and kinetic, capturing the hustle and bustle of New York with style.

What sets Sneaks apart is its blend of humor and heart. The script is packed with witty one-liners and clever visual gags, but it never loses sight of its core message: the importance of family, friendship, and finding the courage to face the unknown. Ty’s journey is both literal and emotional, as he learns that true strength comes from stepping outside your comfort zone and relying on the support of others.

With a catchy soundtrack and plenty of action, Sneaks is a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike. It’s a reminder that even the most unlikely heroes can make a difference—and that sometimes, you have to get a little lost to find your way home.

Don’t miss this charming, high-spirited adventure.
