Mix one part “Zootopia” with two parts “Ocean’s Eleven” and just a dash of the visual flair of “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” and you’ve got “The Bad Guys,” the new animated caper from DreamWorks. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews.

There’s an emotional core beneath the fast-and-loose jokes in "The Bad Guys," thanks in large part to Rockwell’s soulful voice performance. He sells Mr. Wolf as both a dashing career criminal and a vulnerable guy with hidden hopes and dreams. And that brings a dose of heart to the movie, whether Wolf is bantering with his old buddy Snake, flirting with self-possessed Governor Diane Foxington or gently rescuing a cat from a tree.

For instance, while the characters’ bodies are 3D, their eyes have an old-school 2D look that harkens back to Hanna-Barbera or "Looney Tunes" cartoons. The action sequences, meanwhile, are inspired as much by the kineticism of Japanese anime as by live-action crime capers.
