- 👟 🎥 🌟
"Following in the paths of 'Cars' and 'Toy Story', new animated films are being developed." - following the success of "Cars" and "Toy Story", a new animated film is released featuring anthropomorphic vehicles.
Growing attached to a celluloid sole has long been a sentiment shared by cinephiles since "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" debuted in 1988. The nail-biting scene featuring the demise of the animated shoe left generations reeling. Fear not, as viewers of all ages will find solace in "Sneaks" - an animated adventure unveiling May 9th on Sky and streaming service Wow.
Shoe Therapy: Synopsis
Brothers and sisters Ty and Maxine, renowned Alchemy24s sneakers, lead pampered lives. Ty yearns for eternal adoration on a cloud of cotton, while Maxine dreams of standing on the court of a rising basketball star. When Maxine's dream comes true as Edson, a young prodigy, winning them in a lottery, it's a short-lived victory. A ruthless collector seizes the shoes and covets them for his private collection, forcing separate lives for the duo: Maxine is trapped in the luxurious golden cage of the collector, while Ty navigates the rough streets of Manhattan.
Hand-crafted and Heartfelt
Animation has been bringing life to lifeless objects since film's inception, echoing the tales of "Toy Story" and the franchise "Cars." "Sneaks" steps into the giant shoes left behind and explores essential life lessons through animated personas that are relevant for kids and some adults alike. For instance, a seemingly privileged life isn't always a blissful one, or true camaraderie may only surface when one steps out of their comfort zone.
In the English iteration, these essential lessons are delivered by a star-studded cast, including Anthony Mackie (46), Laurence Fishburne (63), and Martin Lawrence (60). The German dub features Annika Preil (35) and Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht (35).
A Nod to Sneaker Culture
Beyond the important messages, "Sneaks" respectfully pays homage to the intricate sneaker culture of the United States, an obsessive hobby that can sometimes spiral into absurd extremes. In 2024, a collection of six basketball legend Michael Jordan's shoes sold for approximately eight million dollars[5]. "Sneaks" cleverly satirizes this passion without alienating devoted collectors.
Make a move to catch "Sneaks" on Wow starting May 9th or tune in to Sky Cinema Premiere at 8:15 PM.
