With The Bad Guys, director Pierre Perifel found the perfect opportunity to blend together all of his childhood inspirations for a family-friendly animated heist film. Based on a children’s graphic novel series, the film follows a group of animal criminals, Mr. Wolf (Sam Rockwell), Mr. Snake (Marc Maron), Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina), Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson) and Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos).

It was a whole story about second chances and redeeming yourself and not judging a book by its cover, which was so attractive, but at the same time it played in a world of heists and animals robbing banks and driving cars.
The first page of the book really is Mr. Wolf talking to the reader and saying, “You know me, I’m the big bad wolf. Well, no
