Could things go wrong when a 12-year-old boy decides to become the best detective in the world and go on secret missions with his invisible polar bear? Absolutely yes. Based on the books by Stephan Pastis, 'Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made' follows the journey of a little boy whose flights of fancy put him in trouble but also bring brief moments of heartfelt joy and achievement.

Release date

The adventure-drama film drops on Disney+ on February 7. 

Plot

Timmy is a regular kid with an over-imaginative mind. He aspires to run the most successful detective agency in the world with his 1500-pound polar bear Total. It's a fun ride with the boy as he navigates his way through the city trying to uncover truths and find missing items such as his electric-operated scooter. Accompanying him on this journey are some of his best friends from school and of course Total. The best bit is, Timmy does all of it seriously. He has a straight face and his soul thrives on suspicion, which makes it all the more interesting because where else would you find such a serious tween?

Cast

Winslow Fegley of 'Fast Layne' plays the titular role, while Ophelia Lovibond portrays his mother, Patty. Craig Robinson, who is known for his role as Doug Judy on the cop comedy show 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine,' will be seen as Timmy's guidance counselor from school. 

Showrunners

'Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made' has been directed by award-winning filmmaker Tom McCarthy and produced by Jim Whitaker. Tom McCarthy, Michael Bederman and Kate Churchill serve as executive producers. 

Trailer

It is easily one of the most entertaining trailers Disney has released in recent times. It has love, action, drama — basically everything a trailer needs to be engaging. Let's hope the film lives up to the expectations.
