- Comedy Ghetto: The studio's detractors, of note Mat Brunet, have criticised them for eschewing writing and Character Development in favour of wacky hijinks and cashing in on the latest trends.
- Growing the Beard: Started with the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as not only did it become a roaring success from critics and fans alike, it beat out Disney's and Pixar's offerings to win the year's Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. SPA's subsequent releases, including The Angry Birds Movie 2, Vivo and especially The Mitchells vs. the Machines, have also garnered wide critical and audience acclaim, proving Spider-Verse wasn't just a one-hit wonder.
- Win Back the Crowd: After a slew of underwhelming films and bottoming out with The Emoji Movie, SPA became animation's favorite punching bag. Then came Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse and the company's reputation immediately changed overnight.
