SNEAKS follows the adventures of Ty, a misguided designer sneaker who doesn't know life outside the comforts of his velvet-lined shoe box. After his sister is stolen by a shady collector, Ty must venture into NYC to find and rescue her. In his adventure, Ty meets a rag-tag group of footwear friends from all walks of life who help him find the courage to step outside of his shoe box and find his "sole-mate."

Critics Consensus

Hampered by scuffed animation and a gratingly squeaky sense of humor, Sneaks falls short of imbuing its inanimate characters with a human dimension.

The strangest thing about Sneaks, a new animated movie co-directed by Rob Edwards and Christopher Jenkins and written by Edwards, isn’t that shoes become sentient beings, but that a stacked cast is squandered on such a plodding and predictable story.

I suspect that 'Sneaks' is in no real danger of becoming a classic. I also suspect that there will be those who watch this inscrutable kids flick and appreciate the unexpected amount of effort that went into telling a story this unconvincing.

It’s clearly told from the heart and as exhilarating as putting on a new pair of kicks.

Children’s movies should never be this cynical. Kids deserve joy, imagination, wonder—not whatever this is.

The best Sneaks can offer is that it’s more dull than truly, actively irritating; it really is like watching a bunch of shoes try to emote.

What they’ve done here is competent but not consuming.

Not the best animation, but it's a fun romp into fashion culture for kids.
