New Animation Venture "Sneaks" Treads the Path of "Cars" and "Toy Story"
Animation sequels on the rise, with 'Cars' and 'Toy Story' leading the pack - Following in the footsteps of popular animated films like "Cars" and "Toy Story"...
Ready to jump into the shoes of a pair of luxury sneakers? That's what awaits you in the Sky Original animated film, "Sneaks," premiering May 9th on Sky and streaming service Wow. This family-friendly adventure is all about a hero's journey, filled with dream scenarios and life lessons for both kids and adults.
Exquisite Kicks - What It's About
The Alchemy24s shoes, Ty and Maxine, have enjoyed a life of luxury and admiration. Despite their similar appearance, they have contrasting dreams and aspirations. Ty yearns for a lifetime spent in a cloud of cotton worshipped by all, while Maxine sets her sights on becoming the footwear of a rising basketball star, destined for championship glory.
Their dreams initially seem within reach when Edson, a boy from humble beginnings, wins them in a contest. But joy turns to sorrow as a ruthless shoe collector snatches the siblings away and aims to add them to his prized collection. The heist separates the two, sending Maxine into the golden cage of the collector, while Ty navigates the gritty streets of Manhattan.
Well-Crafted Footwear - For a Greater Purpose
Animating inanimate objects has been a staple in animated films since the beginning. "Toy Story," the first fully computer-animated movie, started the trend with toys in 1995. "Cars" followed suit in 2006 with cars. "Sneaks" is no slouch, delivering strong performances and cleverly incorporating life lessons about happiness, friendship, and leaving your comfort zone.
Voice talents like Anthony Mackie, Laurence Fishburne, and Martin Lawrence bring the life lessons to life in the English dub, while Annika Preil and Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht take charge in the German version.
A Tribute to Sneaker Culture
"Sneaks" isn’t just a tribute to animation; it's also a love letter to American sneaker culture and the obsessive collectors who drive its market. While the film humorously pokes fun at the absurd collecting trends, it avoids alienating passionate fans. Catch "Sneaks" on demand via Wow streaming service starting May 9th or tune in to Sky Cinema Premiere at 8:15 PM.
