In the french canadian dub of The Bad Guys Movie, when Diane hacks the government satellite and Wolf asks her “but you’re the governor, couldn’t you just ask?” She responds “Yeah, but you know, bureaucracy”
Idk, I’m just throwing this out here
The reason why I’m specifying Canadian French is because it’s different from the french dub from France.
“You want to know why I hate birthdays, Wolf? Do you? When you grow up a snake, nobody shows up to your party. Birthdays are a constant reminder that out there I’m just a scary, good-for-nothing monster.”
“I should’ve been honest with you. I was afraid that if you knew I wanted to be good that you’d… Act like a jerk and never talk to you again?Yeah.”

There was a new interview today with the director and producers of The Bad Guys Movie. However, it was in French. No worries, as always, I’m here to translate!
The interview was two hours long, they talked about a lot of interesting things, but I’ll simply mention what I think was the most interesting:
There was a bit of a war between DreamWorks, Netflix and Disney for the rights of the book series, since all three movie studios wanted to adapt the The Bad Guys books into a movie. DreamWorks ended up winning, since Aaron Blabey thought they were the one who really got his vision of the books. However, Netflix is currently adapting another one of Aaron’s book series into a movie (Thelma The Unicorn).
The movie’s art style is inspired from many animated french movies, along side anime, and comic books. Yes, they did take inspiration from Lupin III. They wanted to created an unique style that isn’t something we’ve seen a lot before, that isn’t always realistic, like from Pixar, Disney, ect. They wanted something kind of new. They did not take any reference or inspiration from GTA, despite what some people might think.
They used a special method with lightning and animation to save time on the movie, but that still makes it look good.
Teaming up the supervisors for this movie was easy since they all knew eachother for years. There was only 4-10 people at the beginning for this project, it ended up with 400 people. They were all like family and understood eachother very well. Of course, Covid made it a little harder, more meetings which are online and all, but it ended up going well.
The most satisfying part to do for the movie is the last one, the lightning.
The director and the producers have admitted that, if they do a TV series of The Bad Guys, it obviously won’t have the same high quality as the movie, because it’s hard and costs a lot. It’s a question of time, money, animators and all that.
Director Pierre Perifel was able to cast some of the french voice actors for The Bad Guys, such as Pierre Niney (the french voice of Wolf), and also helped out for the translation of the script from english to french.
They hope that The Bad Guys will bring a new air to DreamWorks, that it’s the goal.
Director Pierre Perifel is not a fan of the look of Turning Red, but thought that the facial expressions were the highlight of the movie. He also said it’s more interesting, and would rather see that movie over the upcoming Buzz Lightyear, which “scares” him a little because of how realistic it looks and how far it goes.
With Tarantula, we knew early on that she is the teenager of the family. She is the one who kind of knows everything – she doesn’t need to be told anything. She’ll be there. She’ll follow Wolf like a dad or Snake like a mom. She’s the teenager of the family who doesn’t want to be the babysitter if Mom and Dad leave. She’s the type of teenager that if you leave her in charge, her immediate reaction would be, “Ugh!” She would just put on her headphones and do her thing. She doesn’t want to deal with them. She takes pride in her hacking and her computer skills, so her weakness would be losing her mind if she were forced to help someone who didn’t have a clue on how to use a computer. She would probably snap and push them aside and scream, “Let me just do it!”
