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]
Music[]
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.[5] 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.[6] A soundtrack album was released by Republic Records Kids & Family label on June 21, 2024, the same day as the film.[7][8]
