Rodriguez, of course, won this battle as can be seen by the Cortez family but you can see the Latin American influence on the props, set designs, and script. For example, at the beginning of the film, the medicine Juni (Daryl Sabara) uses to treat his hand warts is called "Mezqui-no." This might be a fun play on the word mezquino which in Latin America Spanish means warts. Ideal point of view– Since the camera is located between the lenses, spy glasses mimic the first-person viewpoint while recording. It gives the user the ability to record a clear shot of someone’s face. From 2001 to 2004, children's anthology magazines Disney Adventures and BBC Disney's Comic published over a dozen syndicated short comics that accompanied the first three films as well as additional stories for Disney's Comic. They were written by Steve Behling and/or Michael Stewart, penciled and inked by Christine Norrie, colored by John Green (with the exception of the April 2002 issue's comic The Big Drop, which was colored by Atomic Paintbrush, and the Disney Adventures Comic Zone second issue's comic Tomorrow Trouble, which was colored by Hi-Fi Color Design), and lettered by Michael Stewart. Novelizations of the films Spy Kids, Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, and Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over were released by Disney-Hyperion. They were adapted by Megan Stine, Kiki Thorpe, and Kitty Richards.

Spy Kids" has an interesting take on what counts as a disguise. Felix Gumm (Cheech Marin), the "Spy Kids" fake uncle, and Gregorio, the "Spy Kids" dad, both wear mustaches as a disguise so people don't recognize them even though their facial hair barely changes their facial features.

Spy Kids: Armageddon, Netflix’s reboot of the franchise with the original writer-director Robert Rodriguez, understands the wells of nostalgia it’s tapping, though it doesn’t always reach it.

As the ultimate responsibilities (and heroics) fell to Carmen and Juni Cortez (Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara), so too, do world-threatening circumstances demand Tony (Connor Esterson) and Patty Tango-Torrez (Everly Carganilla) step up. The adults, particularly the hapless operators of the spy group OSS, are extraneous.The spy organization in the films is called the OSS. These initials are from the Office of Strategic Services, a former U.S. intelligence organization during World War II which later evolved into the CIA. The character Donnagon Giggles was named after William Joseph Donovan, the director of the original OSS.
