Spies in Disguise

Spies in Disguise is a 2019 American computer-animated spy comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Loosely inspired by the 2009 animated short Pigeon: Impossible by Lucas Martell, the film is directed by Troy Quane and Nick Bruno from a screenplay by Brad Copeland and Lloyd Taylor, and a story by Cindy Davis. It stars the voices of Will Smith and Tom Holland, alongside Rashida Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Reba McEntire, Rachel Brosnahan, Karen Gillan, DJ Khaled, and Masi Oka in supporting roles. The plot follows a secret agent (Smith) who is accidentally transformed into a pigeon by an intelligent young scientist (Holland); the two must then work together to stop a revenge-seeking cybernetic terrorist, and return the agent to his human form.
The film premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on December 4, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 25, 2019 and received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for the animation, music, humor, and vocal performances (particularly Smith and Holland). It grossed $171.6 million on a budget of $100 million.
It was the final film released by Blue Sky Studios before being closed on April 10, 2021, as well as the last animated film released under the 20th Century Fox name.
The film was dedicated to the memory of Joe Kwong, who was a worker at Disney Feature Animation as an animator/modeler from 1996 to 2010 and as a rigging artist at Blue Sky Studios who died before this film was released.
