Director: Rob Edwards, Christopher Jenkins
A talking sneaker gets separated from his owner and has to cross New York City to find his sister and get home in Sneaks, the 2025 animated adventure comedy.
What is Sneaks about?
Ty is no ordinary shoe. He's a designer sneaker with a mouth, a personality, and a sister he's fiercely protective of. When the pair end up lost and separated on the streets of New York City, Ty has to navigate a world built for humans, not footwear, relying on wit, street smarts, and a growing crew of oddball allies to track his sister down. Along the way he runs into rival sneaker crews, hostile alleyways, and the general chaos of a city that has no idea a shoe is talking its way through it. The story leans into slapstick and fast-paced banter, aimed squarely at family audiences looking for something silly and high-energy. Directed by Rob Edwards and Christopher Jenkins, the film pairs colorful animation with an eclectic voice cast, and keeps its plot simple: get lost, get resourceful, get home, with a message about loyalty and family tucked underneath the jokes.
Cast & crew
Anthony Mackie voices Ty, giving the sneaker a confident, wisecracking energy, with Martin Lawrence rounding out the cast in a comic supporting role. Musicians Swae Lee, Chloe Bailey, Macy Gray, Ella Mai, Mustard, and Roddy Ricch also lend their voices, bringing a soundtrack-driven flavor to several of the film's characters and set pieces.
Context & significance
Sneaks arrives as part of a wave of 2025 family animation built around anthropomorphized everyday objects, using sneaker culture as its visual and comedic hook. Its international production spans the United States, India, and the United Kingdom, reflecting the increasingly global pipeline behind modern animated features.
