            The Bad Guys is a 2022 American computer-animated heist comedy loosely based on the New York Times best-selling book series.  A crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws are about to attempt their most challenging con yet – becoming model citizens. Never have there been five friends as infamous as The Bad Guys – dashing pickpocket Mr. Wolf, seen-it-all safecracker Mr. Snake, chill master-of-disguise Mr. Shark, short-fused "muscle" Mr. Piranha, and sharp-tongued expert hacker Ms. Tarantula." But when, after years of countless heists and being the world's most-wanted villains, the gang is finally caught, Mr. Wolf brokers a deal (that he has no intention of keeping) to save them all from prison – The Bad Guys will go good. Under the guidance of their mentor Professor Marmalade, an arrogant but adorable guinea pig, The Bad Guys set out to fool the world that they've been transformed. Along the way, though, Mr. Wolf begins to suspect that doing good for real may give him what he’s always secretly longed for – acceptance. So when a new villain threatens the city, can Mr. Wolf persuade the rest of the gang to become the Good Guys?

            The movie is made possible by our generous sponsors.  Premier Sponsors include: Mountain Title Company, Steel Etc and Jimmy and Debbie Filipowicz, Montana Credit Union, Great Falls Clinic Hospital and Benefis Health System.
