ABOUT THE SERIES

Carmen and Juni Cortez are spies with the OSS.

When we first meet them, Carmen is a 12 years old girl and Juni is a 9 year old boy.

Both are the children of Ingrid and Gregorio Cortez, long-time operatives for rival organizations who met while on the job, fell in love, and decided they would prefer to start a family rather than remain out in the field. Since the work they did was so dangerous and their desire to protect their offspring so strong, they chose to not tell the kids anything about what they once did.

Which is why when the two disappear suddenly while on the first mission in nearly a decade (let's face it, they were both itching to get back out there!), Carmen and Juni were stunned when bad guys started flying through the windows and smashing the doors and otherwise find something hidden in their house.

It will not take too long for them to get into the spirit of the rescue and boldly head out to find their captive parents and save the day, not only rescuing Mom and Dad but also preventing a whole lot of young kids from being replaced by evil robots replicas.

From that exciting adventure, the two became members of OSS, the organization that was running their parents (okay, at the beginning we are told Indrid and Gregorio worked for separate agencies, now, not so much).

Note also that while the explanation of the meaning of 'OSS' is not given in the movies, in one of the books it is said to be the "Organization of Super Spies". Apparently it is based in the United States but is an international spy organization dedicated to countering the evil enemies around the globe. Eventually the OSS and its junior program, using kids as the go-to operatives, will be run by Carmen and Juni.

It is not unusual for a successful movie to get a sequel or two - heck, it's a smart rule to follow. Spy Kids did it twice and then years later, when the actors were too old to do it again, the producers brought in new characters and had the genius to have the now-aged previous actors to play adult roles.

Note: A minor but important character in the first adventure, Machete, uncle to the Spy Kids, plays a bigger role in the three adventures. Later came the interesting case of the Spy Kids writer/director/producer, Robert Rodriguez, deciding to create a movie about a man with the same rather unique name of Machete, played by the same actor, Danny Trejo. This would be followed by its own sequel. Both these movies are absolutely NOT in the same vein as the Spy Kids films; they are rated R for violence and nudity and so one.

But is the Machete in these two movies the same Machete in the early 4 kids movies? According to the creator, they are in an alternate universe. According to the actor, they are the same dude.

It is not my place to state an opinion. I do not include the two Machete movies in this listing because this list is about the Spy Kids. However, I do provide this link to Machete page.

With the 4th movie, the Spy Kids who star are obviously not the same two Spy Kids from the first three since so much time had passed. The same is true with the 5th movie which came out a dozen years after the 4th; in this instance there does not seem to be any tie-in the any of the previous movies except for the fact that a parent works for the same OSS and the two new kids must spy-up to come to the rescue.

MY COMMENTS

I was very lucky back in 2001 when the first movie came out because I had a 9-year-old daughter who gave me the excuse to head to the theater to watch this (any rumor that I might have had to bribe her to make me take her is, well, mean and likely true). The next year we also went to the second one. I missed the third in the theater but I'm pretty sure we watched it when it showed up at Blockbuster (remember them?). The fourth one was missed but I have it and want to watch it because it has Jessica Alba ('nuf said!).

Until I started to write up this entry, though, I had not known of the Netflix animated series nor of the young adult books. I am impressed the franchise went so far and kudos to them for doing so.

These are very cute and entertaining escapists fare that do not try to be something they are not and do not try to insult the intelligence of kids or adults viewing them.
