Shopkins: The Movie

Shopkins: The Movie is a 2019 animated comedy film based on the Moose Toys brand, Shopkins, and the webtoon of the same name. Directed and written by Joss Whedon and co-written by the writing team of J. David Stem and David N. Weiss, the film is a continuation of the cartoon, and is the fourth film based on the toy line and the cartoon. Like the cartoon, the film combines 2D hand-drawn animation with the extensive use of computer-generated imagery. The majority of the cartoon's voice cast, including Kate Murphy, Aziz Ansari, Marieve Herington, reprise their respective roles, with Andy Samberg, Melissa McCarthy, Selena Gomez and Tye Sheridan joining the cast.

Set after the events of the third and final season of the cartoon, the film follows Apple Blossom as she claims that her life is changing during the future. Many things begin to happen, including meeting Adam Apple, Patricia Parfait Glass arriving in Shopville, and her friends breaking up with her. With Apple's life changed dramatically and Patricia about to take over Shopville, she and Adam must find a way to stop Patricia from taking over Shopville in order for Apple's life to be turned back to normal.

Universal announced the film in February 2017, with the director and the writing team attached. Murphy, Ansari and Herington were confirmed to reprise their respective roles from the webtoon. In November that year, Universal announced that Samberg, Gomez, Sheridan and McCarthy had joined the cast, with them voicing new characters. Animation production took place from July 2018 to May 2019; Rough Draft Korea used traditional animation to animate the characters, while Pixel Zoo Animation, who animated the webtoon, used the same computer-generated imagery (CGI) technique to animate the backgrounds and other effects. Mark Mothersbaugh composed the film's musical score, with artists such as Charli XCX, Swae Lee, the Jonas Brothers, John Legend, and George Ezra contributing songs for the film.

The film premiered in Australia on November 14, 2019 before being theatrically released in the United States on November 15 by Universal Pictures. It was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $311.6 million against a production budget of $80 million, and receiving praise for its animation, humor, voice performances (particularly Samberg and McCarthy), screenplay, emotional weight, soundtrack, cultural references, and faithfulness to its source material, as well as its appeal towards children and adults of both genders. A spin-off centered on Adam Apple, titled Shopkins: The Story of Adam Apple, is currently in production and is scheduled for release on December 6, 2024, with Samberg reprising his voice role as the character.
