When a spider detective boards a seaplane to San Francisco after finally capturing his arch nemesis, a murder on his flight draws him into a plot that threatens both the human and bug worlds.

Critics Consensus

A formally refreshing homage to Agatha Christie, Inspector Sun serves as a reasonably diverting and suitably light whodunit for the younger set.

Cath Clarke

Guardian

There’s plenty of double-crossing, madcap chases and falling-out-of-airplane action, some of it reasonably entertaining.

Rated: 3/5

Austin Chronicle

A giddy old-school serial adventure romp that will introduce kids to the wonders of vintage cinematic detectives.

Rated: 3/5

New York Times

While sometimes grating, the film is always appealing, with pleasing details, down to its Art Deco end titles.

James Croot

The Post NZ

Based on a 2013 award-winning screenplay by then UCLA student Rocco Pucillo, this 1930s-set combination of A Bug's Life and Zootopia offers up an Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery.

Rated: 3.5/5

Sandie Angulo Chen

Common Sense Media

Inspector Sun is a goofy parody of Poirot, and Chieng's comedic delivery will keep young viewers laughing at the spider who lucks into discoveries more than he deduces them.

Rated: 3/5

Inspector Sun is a film that manages to be lightweight and somewhat jumbled at the same time. However, it's satisfactory animation geared mostly to children who are under 10 years old. The story is mildly entertaining for people who like murder mysteries.

There wasn't much humor. There was nothing that kept "parents" engaged while the kids watched the movie. And a little dark with all the bugs eating each other.

My Actual Testimony, I'm still in disbelief RECOVER YOUR STOLEN BITCOIN / USDT OR MONEY LOST TO SCAMMERS WITH A RECOVERY EXPERT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF RECOVERY CRYPTO SERVICE. Answer from the Department of Recovery Crypto Service: Scam Baiting Approach WEBSITE: https://drcs8.wordpress ( .)com/ EMAIL: Dept.ofRecovery@ outlook (.)com After being scammed, many victims find that the fraudsters become so overconfident that they leave the stolen funds in one or two wallets without moving them. These are the scammers we focus on to recover lost assets, as their funds remain on the blockchain and haven’t been cashed out. Be cautious of self-proclaimed recovery experts who exploit victims’ ignorance; recovering assets isn’t rocket science. If you can't locate your assets, you won't be able to recover them. Your first step is to assess your recovery status. It's important to note that the Department of Recovery Crypto Service typically provides this assessment for free. Proceed with caution and don’t pay for anything until you have clear evidence. Step 1: Check your recovery status for free. The "Department of Recovery Crypto Service" (a private debt collection and recovery agency) can be reached via email at Dept.ofRecovery @ outlook(.)com. They were a beacon of hope in my dark experience, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and education. Thanks to their expertise, I managed to recover over $338,000, and sharing my story is vital to raising awareness about these fraudulent schemes.
