The Spy Kids camera was an inexpensive 110-format point and shoot camera given away as a toy in McDonald's Happy Meals in 2001. It was a tie-in with the release of the motion picture Spy Kids The Movie, released in September 2001. It was produced by Troublemaker Studios and Dimension films. The camera was manufactured in China and is of an all-plastic construction with an open frame viewfinder that had no optics on the top. The camera featured a left-hand film advance wheel on the front, a frame count window in the back cover, a shutter button on top to the right of the viewfinder and an 1/8 turn slotted screw lock to open the back cover. It has no flash capability and was meant to be used outdoors in bright sunlight. The camera was toy #7 in a group of 9 different movie-related toys. The set included a Spy Squirter, Spy Motion Detector, Spy Watch, Spy Phone, Spy Glasses, Spy Light and Launcher, Spy Camera, Spy Fooglie Identifier and an Invisible Visible Spy Pen.
