Totally Spies! The Movie is totally The Movie of Totally Spies!.
It premiered on 2009 in its native France, and in April 2010 in the United States. It is an Origins Episode for the three girls, recounting how Sam, Alex, and Clover met, became close friends, and began work as secret agents for W.O.O.H.P., the World Organization Of Human Protection. The girls begin their adventure after having been transferred to a high school in Beverly Hills and wind up stopping an evil Super Villain named Fabu, a former fashion model who entrances teenagers, plans to demolish the Earth from a fabulous luxury resort in space, and boasts what's possibly the most ludicrous Freudian Excuse in the history of time.
They rescue some hot studs and an adorable piggy along the way.
Tropes:
- Action Girl: Clover, Sam, and Alex prove to be no slouches at combat very fast for newbies on the job, and take down the bad guys (save for Fabu, who briefly escapes into space before being caught) in a hand-to-hand fight at the end.
- Ambiguously Gay: Fabu. His mannerisms scream Camp Gay, but it's never stated outright. Downplayed in that aside from stereotypes, there are no other hints to Fabu's sexual orientation at all.
- Ax-Crazy: Sheesh! Peppy Wolfman's Secretary is just plain psycho when people don't do what she says. Even a rampaging pack of various animals, ranging from common cats to a freaking elephant, can't faze her, they only make her angrier.
- Brainwashing: Fabu's method of controlling teenagers. Comes with a fabulous set of bleached bangs.
- Dude Magnet: Mandy somehow has an entire group of guys who fawn over her and are willing to wash her car for free.
- Eat the Camera: Mandy does this at one point while laughing.
- Fate Worse than Death: Played straight then subverted when Fabu punishes the girls by giving them horrid looking faces, then he decides to jettison them into space anyway.
- Fourth Wall Psych:
- At the start of the film, Rob seemingly leaves the shot, and then comes right back to look into the camera and greet the viewers, "Oh, hello there, handsome!", right before it cuts to reveal that he's actually talking to himself in the mirror.
- Clover turns around and seemingly gives an Aside Glance in disgust when Jerry suggests that the girls follow Mandy. It turns out that she (and then Jerry) were actually looking at Mandy and her followers.
- Freudian Excuse: Fabu has a magnificent one. He wants to demolish the Earth, because his pants fell off and people laughed at him once.
- Harmless Electrocution: When Sam tries to hack into the surveillance system with her Compower, she accidentally puts the cord into the wrong plug. Frizzy hairstyles ensue for all three of the girls.
- The Movie: Right there in the title.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Near the end of the movie Alex gets a call from a guy called Peppy Wolfman who seems to be offering to take Oinky off her hands. This is the last we see of Oinky in the movie.
- Luckily for Alex, Oinky came back in Season 6.
- New Kid Stigma: When the trio first come to Bev High, they meet Mandy, who shows them to the vending machine. They press a button for a drink, and are sprayed across the schoolyard. Mandy then proclaims "Welcome to Bev High, losers!", and everyone around laughs at them.
- Obviously Evil: Tad, who makes his true colors clear long before the girls find out by deleting their message for help to Jerry with an evil smirk.
- Reassigned to Antarctica: Literally done to Mrs. Stritch, as a gesture of gratitude from W.O.O.H.P. to the girls.
- Red Herring: The principal Mrs. Stritch is introduced and shown all throughout the film in an obviously evil fashion, when she has absolutely nothing to do with the mission.
- Retcon: Yet another origin story for the girls. Seriously Marathon, make up your minds.
- Shout-Out: One of Clover's early design ideas looks very familiar.
- Team Pet: The pig, Oinky (so named by Alex) becomes this for a brief portion of the film.
- Twitchy Eye: Jerry has one after Clover shows him her Sailor Moon design.
- Villain of Another Story: Some of the Villain of the Week characters from the show set after the movie appear as Innocent Bystanders in this prequel.
- Walk Like an Egyptian: The girls' method of (successfully) avoiding their principal, Mrs. Stritch. For some reason. Remarkably, they used The Bangles' song during the sequence, avoiding the use of a
Suspiciously Similar Song.
