Trailer for DreamWorks' New Animated Film THE BAD GUYS - "Good Is No Fun At All"
Nobody has ever failed so hard at trying to be good as The Bad Guys.
DreamWorks Animation has shared the first trailer for it upcoming animated feature film The Bad Guys, which is an adaptation of the Scholastic book series by Aaron Blabey. The film also features a great voice cast, which includes Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Awkwafina, Richard Ayoade, Zazie Beetz, Lilly Singh, and Alex Borstein.
The action comedy looks like a lot of fun and the story follows a crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws who are about to attempt their most challenging con yet… becoming model citizens. The synopsis reads:
Never have there been five friends as infamous as The Bad Guys—dashing pickpocket Mr. Wolf (Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), seen-it-all safecracker Mr. Snake (Maron), chill master-of-disguise Mr. Shark (Robinson), short-fused “muscle” Mr. Piranha (Ramos) and sharp-tongued expert hacker Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina), aka “Webs.”
But when, after years of countless heists and being the world’s most-wanted villains, the gang is finally caught, Mr. Wolf brokers a deal (that he has no intention of keeping) to save them all from prison: The Bad Guys will go good.
Under the tutelage of their mentor Professor Marmalade (RAyoade), an arrogant (but adorable!) guinea pig, The Bad Guys set out to fool the world that they’ve been transformed. Along the way, though, Mr. Wolf begins to suspect that doing good for real may give him what he’s always secretly longed for: acceptance. So when a new villain threatens the city, can Mr. Wolf persuade the rest of the gang to become … The Good Guys?
The Bad Guys is directed by animation filmmaker Pierre Perifel from a screenplay by Etan Cohen and Hilary Winston. Universal Pictures will released The Bad Guys in theaters on April 22nd, 2022.
