Following in the trails of "Cars" and "Toy Story", new animated classics emerge. - Following the path of "Cars" and "Toy Story," additional groundbreaking animated films are in production.
Get ready to lace up and join the world of sentient kicks in Sky's latest animated offering, "Sneaks". Launching on Sky and streaming service Wow from May 9th, this friendly family affair is about to storm your living rooms.
Two Soles to Fill - The Plot
Life's good for luxury Alchemy24s siblings Ty and Maxine. Coveted by many and admired by all, these high-end sneakers are living the dream...except they have different dreams. Ty prefers being coddled in clouds, while Maxine dreams of being the clutch sneaker on an up-and-coming basketball star's foot.
Maxine's dream comes true, as Edson, a boy from humble beginnings, adds Ty and Maxine to his collection. But challenges soon follow; a ruthless collector, known as The Collector, snatches the pair, separating our duo. Maxine ends up in The Collector's golden cage while Ty struggles on the harsh streets of Manhattan.
Shoes with a Message
Performing CPR on inanimate objects is a staple of animated films, and "Sneaks" does not shy away. Back in 1995, "Toy Story" made history with its fully computer-animated characters, while the "Cars" franchise took cars to the next level in 2006. Now it's "Sneaks" turn! The film doesn't just entertain; it weaves essential life lessons for the young and the young at heart.
For instance, Ty learns that a cushy life isn't necessarily a happy one or that friends might only appear when you step out of your comfort zone. Hollywood stars like Anthony Mackie, Laurence Fishburne, and Martin Lawrence lend their voices to the English original, while in the German dub, Annika Preil and Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht hold the fort.
Kicks and Camaraderie - A Tribute to Sneaker Culture
"Sneaks" serves up a delightful love letter to US sneaker culture. With shoe collectors going bananas, last year eight million dollars were spent on a set of six shoes from basketball legend Michael Jordan. "Sneaks" pokes fun at this in a friendly manner without alienating enthusiastic collectors.
Tune in starting May 9th to see if "Sneaks" makes the podcast or gets left out in the cold. The film will be streaming on Wow or airing on Sky Cinema Premiere at 8:15 PM.
