Ahead of the film's April 22 release, CBR sat down to speak with The Bad Guys director Pierre Perifel about the excitement of tackling the animated film as his feature directorial debut. He also dove into which characters grew to become his favorite members of the cast and why it was important for the film to be so focused on the emotional aspect of male friendship.
The Bad Guys. Movie PG 2022 100 minutes.Delivering a memorable message about the harmful impact of stereotypes, it follows a wolf (voiced by Sam Rockwell), shark (Craig Robinson), piranha (Anthony Ramos), snake (Marc Maron), and tarantula (Awkwafina) who've formed an infamous crime ring. There's cartoon violence -- characters being hit by a car, fighting in self-defense, explosions, etc. -- and momentary peril, but it's largely delivered with a light tone.
