The character animation is spot on, with each little hair looking real; all of these beasties look true-to-life, and the face-animators (and the voice actors, of course) do much more than the writers to give these animals personalities.
Armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment, a covert team of highly trained guinea pigs discover that the fate of the world is in their paws. Tapped for the G-FORCE are guinea pigs Darwin, the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster, an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez, a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert Mooch, and a star-nosed mole Speckles, the computer and information specialist.

After the botched infiltration of the home office of electronics magnate Leonard Saber (Bill Nighy), the FBI cuts off the funding of a secret team run by Ben (Zach Galifianakis), who has figured out a way to communicate with and train a team of rodents, including guinea pigs Darwin (voice of Sam Rockwell), Juarez (Penélope Cruz) and Blaster (Tracy Morgan) as well as mole Speckles (Nicolas Cage).
The film revolves around a team of trained secret agent animals: guinea pigs Darwin (team leader) (Sam Rockwell), Juarez (martial arts) (Penélope Cruz), Blaster (weapons/transportation) (Tracy Morgan), mole Speckles (cyber intelligence) (Nicolas Cage), and fly Mooch (high-tech surveillance) (Edwin Louis). The team takes on a mission for the US government to stop evil billionaire Leonard Saber (Bill Nighy), who plans to destroy the world with household appliances. Before they can accomplish their mission, the government shuts them down and they are sentenced to a pet shop. Darwin, Juarez, Blaster, Speckles, Mooch, and their new friends Hurley (Jon Favreau) and hamster Bucky (Steve Buscemi) will escape the cage to defeat the villain, stop his threat, and save the world
