The Bad Guys turned Aaron Blabey's graphic novels into DreamWorks' slickest heist comedy, with a wolf, a snake, a tarantula, a shark and a piranha trying to go straight in a sun-bleached Los Angeles. This quiz covers the 2022 film and its 2025 sequel: the voice cast from Sam Rockwell to Richard Ayoade, the Golden Dolphin, the Crimson Paw, the Push Pop, Kitty Kat's Bad Girls and the MOON-X rocket. There are questions on how it was made too: the Spider-Verse-inspired look, the Pulp Fiction diner shot that became DreamWorks' longest single take, Daniel Pemberton's score, the Billie Eilish trailer song, the box office run, the Netflix holiday specials with their replacement cast, and the books where Mr. Wolf is called Moe. Every answer is sourced from Wikipedia pages on the films, specials and creators. Play in sets of ten, then try the other DreamWorks quizzes.
