Background

The project had an early screening at Cannes in 2008.[2] While the feature film is currently in post production, the film was initially set for a theatrical release in Mexico in 2009, with a direct to video English language release in the United States in 2010.[3] The film is currently available to view instantly on Netflix.[4]

Storyline

The world’s most notorious bad guys are invited to the island fortress of super-villain Tan-Gu (Lloyd Floyd) to compete in an Olympic-style tournament of evil, called the Evilympics. Mr. Magoo (Jim Conroy) and his 12 year-old nephew Justin (Dylan Sprouse) fight giant robot spiders, ninjas on jet skis, and Tan-Gu’s mutant “Beasteens”, as representatives of the anti-evil task force.
