Minecraft 2.0

Minecraft 2.0 (also titled Minecraft 2.0: The World's Second Dimension) is a 2021 computer-animated action-adventure fantasy comedy film directed by Peter Sollett, Jens Bergensten and Shawn Levy. Produced by Roy Lee, Jill Messick, Agnes Larsson and Nathan Adams and written by Jason Fuchs based on a screenplay by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the film is based on the Minecraft video game series by Mojang Studios. A direct sequel to Minecraft, the film reprises the voices of Jason Momoa, Pamela Adlon, Patton Oswalt, Vin Diesel, Catherine Taber, Grey DeLisle, Jennifer Hale, E. G. Daily, Ed Asner, Kelly Asbury, Leraldo Anzaldua, Scarlett Johansson, Trey Parker, and Daniel Middleton.

The film was announced in March 2018 following the box office success of the first film, with Peter Sollett and Jens Bergensten returning as directors, with Shawn Levy attached as a co-director. This would later involve 21 Laps Entertainment, Levy's production company. The film, an international co-production between Sweden, the United States and Australia, was produced by Warner Animation Group, Village Roadshow Pictures, Vertigo Entertainment, Mojang Crafted Entertainment, 21 Laps Entertainment and Animal Logic, with the latter providing animation services.

Premiering in Stockholm on May 11, 2021, Minecraft 2.0 was theatrically released worldwide on May 21, 2021 by Warner Bros. Pictures and in Australia and New Zealand on June 12, 2021 by Roadshow Entertainment. Unlike its predecessor, the film received generally negative reviews from critics, with criticism for its plot, story line, continuity, lack of faithfulness to the source material, and visual effects, though the animation, musical score by Michael Giacchino, songs by C418 and Lena Raine, and voice cast (particularly Momoa, Adlon, Diesel, Taber, and Asner) received some praise. The film was a box office bomb, grossing $301.5 million worldwide on its budget of $210-245 million, resulting in the closure of Mojang Crafted Entertainment.
