The Bad Guys is a children's book series written by Aaron Blabey and also soon an animated comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation.
Pierre Perifel's feature directorial debut and written by Etan Cohen and Hilary Winston, The Bad Guys features the voices of Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Awkwafina, Richard Ayoade, Zazie Beetz, and Alex Borstein.
Daniel Pemberton handles the score, having also done so for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and, similar to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Bad Guys also rocks an awesome animation style that blends together 3D and 2D aspects.
The story revolves around a gang of stereotypically villainous anthropomorphic animals who are also notorious criminals. After a lifetime of legendary heists, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark and Ms. Tarantula are in for their most challenging job yet: trying to turn good.
The Bad Guys is set to release theatrically on April 22nd, 2022. You can check out the first official trailer for the animated comedy heist film below (via Peacock Kids):
