The Loud House Movie (2021)

No Time to Spy: A Loud House Movie is a 2024 American animated spy comedy film based on the television series The Loud House . The film was directed by series veteran Kyle Marshall and stars the show's regular voice cast alongside the voices of Amy Sedaris, Paul Wight, Sarah Niles, and Dan Fogler. The story follows the Loud family as they go to a tropical wedding celebration and get entangled in a super spy plot. It is the third animated film in The Loud House franchise following The Loud House Movie (2021) and The Casagrandes Movie (2024), and the fifth overall.

Contents

Whitney Wetta and Jeffrey Sayers wrote the screenplay. The series' writers room envisioned a Loud House spy story during production of the sixth season, but no plans were made until Nickelodeon said that they wanted to do another film based on the series. The film was produced by Nickelodeon Productions and animated by Jam Filled Entertainment. Jonathan Hylander composed the score.

No Time to Spy: A Loud House Movie was released on Paramount+ on June 21, 2024, and was followed by a premiere on Nickelodeon later the same day.

Plot

37 years ago, Myrtle, known as Agent 28, infiltrated supervillain Dr. Rufus Dufus's lair to stop his rocket armed with lasers aimed at destroying Earth's communication satellites. During the confrontation, Dufus slips on his coffee and accidentally launches himself into space. Myrtle's boss X tells her they can't save him.

In the present day, the Loud Family heads to a tropical island for a vacation where their grandfather Albert plans to marry Myrtle. Lincoln Loud is fascinated by Myrtle's past as a secret agent and dreams of becoming one himself. On the flight, he meets Fifi, a woman annoyed by the Louds.

At the Thunderbolt Resort run by Flip's cousin Flop Philipini, Lincoln witnesses suspicious activity while on a fishing trip with Myrtle and Albert. He attempts to take photos but is ambushed by henchmen. Myrtle fights them off but loses Lincoln's camera. Despite her urging him to avoid spy missions, Lincoln steals her phone and tells X that Myrtle is onboard to help.

Lincoln and his friend Clyde trace the suspicious activity to a restaurant called Rubiner's. While there, Lincoln overhears Dufus's henchmen plotting a new rocket but is interrupted by Myrtle. They defeat more henchmen together, but Dufus' old henchman Ham Hand captures Myrtle while Lincoln escapes.

The Louds learn that Dufus' base is in a nearby mountain. After a chaotic escape in a rental buggy, they split up to find Myrtle. Myrtle cleverly escapes her cell and fights Ham Hand, discovering the Louds are trapped in a rocket. Fifi is revealed to be the mastermind and Dufus' wife as she uses Lincoln to lure the family into her trap to launch them into space.

As the situation escalates, Myrtle uses the rocket's septic tank as an escape pod. Lincoln heroically launches it, and Myrtle and Lisa devise a plan to blast the rocket off course with a laser cannon from the Loud House, causing it to crash into the ocean. Albert dives into the ocean to save Lincoln.

The family reunites, and though Myrtle loses the wedding rings during the chaos, Lincoln gifts her bamboo rings he'd bought by selling his watch to "Police Chief Philipini", bringing a heartfelt conclusion to their adventure as Fifi and Ham Hand are shown to have been arrested.

Production

Announcement

In late April 2024, Nickelodeon released a teaser promo for a new animated film based on The Loud House , titled No Time to Spy: A Loud House Movie. [1] In late May 2024, further details on the film were disclosed including the cast, crew, and release date. [2] Series regulars Bentley Griffin, Alex Cazares, Piotr Michael, Jill Talley, Brian Stepanek, Catherine Taber, Liliana Mumy, Nika Futterman, Cristina Pucelli, Jessica DiCicco, Grey DeLisle, and Lara Jill Miller lead the voice cast. [2] The film was directed by series supervising director and co-executive producer Kyle Marshall, and written by Whitney Wetta and Jeffrey Sayers. [3] The film is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, [3] and Jam Filled Entertainment provided animation. [4] Michael Rubiner, who is an executive producer on the series, also executive produced the film. [3]

Development

The basis for the film's story was set up in the season 6 episode "Pop Pop the Question". The idea bounced back and forth in the writers room, but no plans were made until Nickelodeon said that they wanted to do another film based on the series. The writers knew they wanted the story to center around a destination wedding between Pop Pop and Myrtle. This, in tandem with Myrtle's spy background that they set up in the series, led to them making a spy genre film. [4] In the series, they had introduced the character David Steele as Lincoln's new fan sensation, so they felt making a spy film felt natural. The crew were inspired by several James Bond films during production, and tried to reflect the pacing and structure of them. The villain Ham Hand was inspired by Jaws who first appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). [4]

In regards to the out-there nature of the film in comparison to the early days of the series, Marshall made a comparison to the long-running animated sitcom The Simpsons and said, "It’s kind of natural that we start to find some fresh territory to mine that we haven’t done before". He added, "But all the while, I would say that no matter how we expand the world or how crazy it gets, we do try to always have some kind of grounded character story that lies beneath it that’s still kid-related." [4] To balance the film's large ensemble of characters, the filmmakers had them all ultimately work towards the same goal, regardless of side plots that had been set up. [4]

Jonathan Hylander took heavy influence from John Barry's work in Thunderball (1965) when composing the film's score. Hylander also wrote the opening song in the film, after which Marshall and head of story, Ari Castleton, told board artist Toby Parry the direction they wanted for the opening visual sequence that it was paired with. [4] David Vasquez edited the first cut, and Tony Molina, lead picture editor, finished it off. For the sequence, Jam Filled tried to push the look and movement of the characters in a more cinematic direction, while still fitting the tone of the series. [4] A soundtrack album was released by Republic Records Kids & Family label on June 21, 2024, the same day as the film. [5] [2]
