G.I. Joe: Spy Troops is a 2003 direct-to-video CGI animated movie produced by Reel FX Creative Studios. Spy Troops is the first G.I. Joe movie to be released by Reel FX.
History
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. Both movies are distributed by Paramount Studios.
Plot
The plot revolves around G.I. Joe, America’s daring, highly trained special missions force. The Joes have just perfected a new technology: Mind Interface Remote Control (MIRC), which allows soldiers to flawlessly command vehicles from a safe distance. The title refers to the fact that the two opposing forces, the G.I. Joe Team and Cobra, make use of spies to achieve their objectives. Cobra sends Zartan, to infiltrate G.I. Joe headquarters posing as Shipwreck, and steal the MIRC technology. The Joes send Shipwreck and Snake Eyes to the enemy's camp, after learning about what happened. The Joes then organize an assault on Cobra Mountain and successfully regain the technology, destroying Cobra's base and chopper in the process.[1]
