 Film Review: The Bad Guys 2 (2025) — A Stylish Animated Sequel That Wins Big

DreamWorks Animation returns with The Bad Guys 2, the exciting sequel to the beloved 2022 animated hit. This time, our favorite crew of animal criminals-turned-heroes faces a new threat that puts their hard-earned reputations—and friendship—to the test.

The film once again centers on Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Ms. Tarantula, who are now trying to live as law-abiding citizens. However, when a mysterious villain frames them for a massive heist, the gang is forced back into action. To clear their names and save the city, they must prove they’re no longer the bad guys—but true heroes.

As an animated film, The Bad Guys 2 shines with dynamic visuals, expressive character design, and slick, comic-book-style animation. Every action sequence feels like it leaps off the screen, full of energy, vibrant color, and clever choreography. The direction by Pierre Perifel once again blends visual humor with cinematic flair, making the sequel as fun to watch as it is meaningful.

What makes this sequel stand out is its heart. Beneath the jokes and high-speed chases is a thoughtful story about second chances, loyalty, and learning to trust—even yourself. The film develops each character with more depth, especially Mr. Snake, who struggles with his past, and Mr. Wolf, who wrestles with leadership and trust.

The voice acting is top-notch, with returning talents like Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, and Awkwafina delivering both humor and emotion. New characters introduced in this chapter add fun twists and unexpected alliances that keep the story fresh and engaging.

Perfect for kids and enjoyable for adults, The Bad Guys 2 is an animated adventure packed with laughs, heart, and action. It’s a story about how doing the right thing isn’t always easy—but it’s always worth it.
