The gentleman thief raccoon who made stealth feel breezy, stylish, and Saturday-morning slick.
Sly stands out because the franchise understood how much character fantasy lives in movement. The sneaking, rooftop traversal, and comic-book framing all reinforce the same vibe: agile criminal cool without cruelty.

Why it matters
