Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (credited as Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams onscreen) is a 2002 American spy adventure comedy film written, shot, edited, and directed by Robert Rodriguez, produced by Troublemaker Studios, Elizabeth Avellan, and Rodriguez, and starring Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alexa Vega, Daryl Sabara, Mike Judge, Ricardo Montalbán, Holland Taylor, Christopher McDonald, Danny Trejo, Cheech Marin, Steve Buscemi, Taylor Momsen, Matt O'Leary, and introducing Emily Osment.
The second installment in the Spy Kids film series, which began with 2001's Spy Kids, the film was theatrically released on August 7, 2002 by Dimension Films. Upon release, Spy Kids 2 received mostly positive reviews from critics and grossed over $119 million worldwide.
The OSS now has a full child spy section, of which 13-year-old Carmen Cortez and 10-year-old Juni Cortez have become agents. They face particularly difficult competition with Gary and Gerti Giggles, the children of double-dealing agent Donnagon Giggles, whom Carmen and Juni helped to rescue in the previous film. It is shown that Carmen defends Gary, and has a crush on him, which strains her relationship with Juni.
