Troppo cattivi - Un Natale troppo cattivo

So, I just watched the new Bad Guys holiday special on Netflix, and I thought it was alright. Nothing groundbreaking or anything, but it's a solid holiday special. Here's my thoughts on it.

So first off, the animation. The animation is worse than the movie, but that's to be expected since the movie was an feature length movie released in cinemas, and this is a 25 minute special released for Netflix, but the animation is still decent. It's a bit more stiff, but it gets the job done without being too distracting.

Next up, the actors. So another thing changed was that all the actors were replaced for this one, which also makes since considering this was made on a much lower budget than the movie, so it makes sense they can't afford all those actors back for this, so do the new actors do a good job? Meh, they're alright, but they don't carry the same charm as the movie actors. Mr. Wolf is alright, but everyone else just don't carry the same charm.

Finally, the story. I don't really have much to say on the story, it was alright. Basically the whole story revolves around The Bad Guys having to save Christmas so they can pull off their big holiday heist, not the most groundbreaking thought provoking story ever but it is still fun to watch.

In conclusion, The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday is a short but sweet holiday special. It has a simple but fun story, but falls a bit flat in terms of the animation and voice acting. Overall, I'd give it a 6/10 thanks for reading!

The Bad Guys are eagerly waiting for Christmas. Everybody will be at home and all the stores are ready to be robbed. The guys are casing various places when they accidentally destroy the beloved Santa Claus balloon. The city is heartbroken and Christmas is canceled. The Bad Guys need to fix the problem before they can go on their robbery spree.

It's a Christmas special for this second tier animated franchise. I liked Bad Guys well enough. They have some potential and this is sort of the material that I'm expecting. I doubt this is going to become a classic. Maybe it will convince a few more to see the movie.

The quality of animation, physics, details, the atmosphere, the "lived-in" feeling of the world, the details of the fur, the dialogues, and almost everything about this movie took a trip to the "budget" lane.

It's surprising to see the director and the studio destroy something that could have been treated better, but maybe it's also a good thing, seeing that there are too many franchise-sequel-prequel-reboot movies around.

This looks graphics-and-world-building-wise comparable to 90ies Crazy Taxi videogame but unlike it or the Star Wars Holiday special won't leave fond memories due to being terribly boring even for the children!

The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday (2023) is a TV Special in the Bad Guys franchise on Netflix and it was fun.

Positives for The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday (2023): I like the idea of this TV Special where you have the Bad Guys trying to fixing Christmas for the city, so they can rob on Christmas Day while everyone is at home. The comedy is pretty good for the most part. The various ways out characters continue to miss up Christmas is hilarious. And finally, I like how they are rewarded for being good.

Negatives for The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday (2023): This short film was only made to capitalize on the Christmas season coming out in 2023 and Netflix wanted something for kids to watch.

Overall, The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday (2023) is a fun little TV Special for kids to watch on Netflix during the Christmas season.

I had a really a good hope for this movie. I was so happy to see the characters i loved in the original movie. Yes they are in this one too, but the cast is different. That pluss bad animation made me so disappointed. The movie doesn't have the same feel and vibes like the original movie. The story is ok, and there was some good laughs. But since i was a fan of the original cast, and was hopeful to see theme again. I was shocked when i noticed that the cast was changed.

Yhe movie might be good xmas movie for the kids and adults that don't care for who's i the cast.

I really hope that if there is an number 2 movie in the making, that they do use the original cast.and better animators.
