If these shoes could talk, they might sound like Anthony Mackie and Martin Lawrence. That’s certainly what the sneakers featured in Sneaks—a new animated movie for kids about talking sneakers, opening in U.S. theaters this weekend—sound like!
Directed by Rob Edwards and Chris Jenkins, with a screenplay written by Edwards, Sneaks tells the story of a designer sneaker named Ty (voiced by Anthony Mackie), who embarks on a quest to New York City, to rescue his stolen sister, Maxine (voiced by Chloe Bailey), who was stolen by a shady collector (voiced by Laurence Fishburne). While on his journey, Ty meets many different shoes from all walks of life (pun intended), including JB (voiced by Martin Lawrence).
The all-star Sneaks voice cast also includes Swae Lee, Macy Gray, Ella Mai, Mustard, Roddy Ricch, Quavo, Young Miko, Amirah Hall, Kiana Ledé, Bobbito Garcia, Sam Jay, Sky Brown, Rayssa Leal, Rico Rodriguez, Keith David, and Chris Paul. This is definitely a movie for the culture. Read on to learn where to watch the Sneaks movie and when we expect to see the Sneaks movie streaming on digital platforms.
Where to watch the 2025 Sneaks movie:
For now, Sneaks will only be available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in select theaters in the U.S. on Friday, April 18. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. Sneaks is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.
Is the Sneaks movie streaming on Disney+?
Sneaks is not streaming on Disney+, and will not be on Disney+ any time soon, due to the fact that the film is not a Disney movie. Not every animated movie is a Disney movie! Instead, the film will likely be released on digital platforms in the next few weeks.
Is the Sneaks movie streaming on Netflix or Prime Video?
Sneaks is not streaming on Netflix or Prime Video right now. While it’s possible Sneaks may stream on Netflix someday, it won’t be until after the theatrical run and digital release of the movie. Sneaks is not a Netflix original—it’s a small, independent film being distributed by Briarcliff Entertainment in the U.S. Another Briarcliff Entertainment movie, The Hill, did eventually stream on Netflix, about five months after it opened in theaters, so it is possible you’ll see Sneaks on Netflix someday. But many other Briarcliff Entertainment movies never streamed on Netflix. There’s not enough data for an accurate prediction at this time.
You will be able to purchase Sneaks on Prime Video eventually, when the movie becomes available to buy and rent on digital, but you will not be able to stream Sneaks on Prime Video free with a Prime subscription, because it is not a Prime original movie. If you want to watch Sneaks at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms.
When will the Sneaks movie release on digital?
The Sneaks movie digital release date has not yet been announced. However, we can make an educated guess as to when we might see Sneaks on video-on-demand, based on the digital release of previous films from this studio, Briarcliff Entertainment.
Another Briarcliff Entertainment movie, Magazine Dreams was released in theaters on March 21, and was released on digital platforms on April 8—aka, about two-and-a-half weeks after opening in theaters. If Sneaks follows a similar pattern, you might see the Sneaks movie on video-on-demand in about two or three weeks, around the week of May 6, 2025. You’ll be able to buy or rent the film online at this time.
But this is all speculation. Digital releases vary by title. If you want to see Sneaks right away, you can catch the movie in a theater.
