G.I. Joe: Spy Troops

G.I. Joe: Spy Troops – The Movie is a 2003 direct-to-video CGI animated movie produced by Reel FX Studios.

In 2003, Hasbro tried to follow Mattel’s success of the Barbie OVA movies by releasing a direct-to-video movie that tied into its own current toyline properties. Reel FX produced two G.I. Joe CGI movies. Spy Troops was first to be released while G.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom followed a year later. They were both sold direct-to-video as well as offered by order through coupons enclosed with the action figures. These movies are distributed by Paramount Studios.

Plot

The movie takes place in the same continuity of the Real American Hero series. Even though Storm Shadow became Joe in the DIC series, an event in the time gap between those two happenings may have caused Storm Shadow to become a Cobra Agent again.Spy Troops is the first G.I. Joe movie to be released by Reel FX Creative Studios. The plot revolves around a new remote-control device that the Joes have in their possession. The title refers to the fact that the two opposing forces, the Joe Team and Cobra, make use of spies to achieve their objectives. Cobra sends Zartan to steal this device while the Joes also send in their own spy to the enemy camp. The movie ends in a battle royale between Joe and Cobra forces.
