Anthony Mackie leads an all-star voice cast in a wacky CGI shoe adventure that has good intentions but suffers from a woeful script which struggles to string together a coherent narrative. Sneaks traverses its vibrant New York City setting to blazing hip-hop beats and diverse ethnic representations. Sneaker culture dominates this environment and having cool "kicks" gets you noticed. Urban children will see themselves, their neighborhoods, and lifestyles in a positive way.

A movie like Sneaks feels like an easy target. It's a cheaply animated movie about talking shoes that rips off every single Toy Story movie and somehow has a staggering ensemble cast of celebrities, including Anthony Mackie, Laurence Fishburne, and Martin Lawrence. Some might say you can make a quality movie out of almost anything. Still, the very concept of a theatrically released animated film about talking sneakers feels like it's a cut-away gag on Family Guy, making fun of Pixar movies.
