Remember the end of "Return of the Jedi" where Darth Vader simply gives up his evil life and redeems himself with the son he abandoned? It's exactly what we see in The Bad Guys. Where a group of extremely cute and dangerous crooks decide to leave the life of crime behind (or maybe not).
DreamWorks hasn't been doing good animation for a while, but just like our protagonists and Luke Skywalker's absent father, they redeemed themselves. The story, despite being simple and clearly aimed at children, is very efficient and dynamic. The plot twists, the progression of the story and the characters development are super predictable, anyone who has seen a couple of heist movies in their life can see the twists from miles away. But the story is based on a series of children's books, this predictability is completely understandable.
The visuals and action scenes are the high point of the film, the voice work is also great, everyone clearly having lots of fun here. It's a movie to have a good laugh, fun and remember to separate the trash correctly, because even garbage can be recycled and become something beautiful. ;)
