Shopkins: The Movie

Shopkins: The Movie is a 2019 animated comedy film based on the Moose Toys brand and the cartoon webseries of the same name. It was directed by Paul Gillett and Matthew O'Callaghan from a screenplay by Gillett, Mark Zaslove, C. H. Greenblatt, Matt Kinmonth and Ross Hastings and story by Gillett, O'Callaghan and Zaslove.

The film serves as a continuation of the cartoon, which ran from 2014 to 2018, as well as the fifth and final film based on the toy line and the cartoon. Like the cartoon, the film blends traditional animation with 3D CGI scenery and objects.

Kate Murphy, Marieve Herington, Brianna Plantano, Cassandra Lee Morris, Abby Trott, Kayli Mills and Erika Harlacher reprise their respective roles from the cartoon, while Colin Farrell and Miranda Richardson join the voice cast. In addition to Murphy, Trott and Harlacher reprising their roles, they voice characters who are introduced in the film, including Poppy Corn, Popette, and Pam Cake, respectively.

Following the 1-year conclusion of the cartoon in 2018, Shopkins: The Movie premiered in Australia on October 4, 2019 and was theatrically released in the United States on November 1, 2019. It received positive reviews from critics and fans alike, who praised its animation, humor, visuals, screenplay, voice acting and faithfulness to its source material. It was a box office success, grossing over $628 million worldwide against a $90 million budget.
