Struggling to find his place in the world while juggling school and family, Brooklyn teenager Miles Morales is unexpectedly bitten by a radioactive spider and develops unfathomable powers just like the one and only Spider-Man. While wrestling with the implications of his new abilities, Miles discovers a super collider created by the madman Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk, causing others from across the Spider-Verse to be inadvertently transported to his dimension.

What's been said

Viewers and critics received Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with near-universal enthusiasm, with sources describing it as a genuine reinvention of both the superhero genre and animation as a medium. The element praised most loudly, by critics and audiences alike, was the groundbreaking visual style, which sources describe as blending computer-driven and hand-drawn techniques to create something that genuinely feels like a living comic book. The most common dissent, though decidedly a minority view, came from some viewers who found the visuals overwhelming, the story long, or who felt the film over-relied on its dazzling style at the expense of plot. Notably, the film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, becoming the first non-Disney or Pixar film to do so since Rango in 2011, a win that was widely celebrated across the industry as recognition of its revolutionary animation.
