Shopkins: The Movie/Trivia

Trivia

 * Paul Gillett, the film's co-director, stated it was scheduled to premiere in Australia on October 4, 2019, exactly a year after the conclusion of the cartoon, but it was rescheduled 3 weeks later to October 25, 2019 to avoid competition with Abominable.
 * Pharrell Williams sings "Cling to Me" with Andy Samberg, who voiced Adam Apple, during the end credits.
 * At 1 hour, 27 minutes and 20 seconds, this was the longest film based on the Moose Toys line and the cartoon.
 * This was Yarrow Cheney's first film as a production designer since Despicable Me 2, which was released exactly six years before this film.
 * This film was rated PG by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America, Inc.) for "rude humor and action".
 * This was Universal's fifth animated film to be produced in a 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio, after The Tale of Despereaux, Despicable Me 3, The Grinch, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.
 * This was also Universal's first (and so far only) traditionally animated film to be produced in that aspect.
 * It's Mark Mothersbaugh who performs the score of this film.
 * This was the fifth and final film based on Moose Toys line and the cartoon.
 * This was Universal's third animated film not from Illumination to be rated PG by the MPAA, after How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World and Abominable.
 * This was also Universal's first (and so far only) traditionally animated film not from that company to have that MPAA rating.
 * This was Lauren London and Joel Courtney's first animated film.
 * Cheeky Chocolate's ringtone is "Any Way You Want It" by Journey.
 * Coincidentally, this marks the second time that a song by that band plays as the character's ringtone for their phone. The first was in 2008's Yes Man.
 * Joss Whedon, who co-directed the film, and Sigourney Weaver, who voiced Patricia Parfait Glass, previously worked together on 1997's Alien Resurrection.
 * Unlike the cartoon, this film features real life songs performed by real life artists, such as "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner.
 * This was Universal's final film where the 1967 MPAA logo is credited in the end credits, if not counting the originally scheduled 2019 release of 2020's The Hunt, which was also released by Universal.
 * This film was released a year after the cartoon ended on October 4, 2018. "SPK Checkout (Episode 3)" was aired as the 85th and final episode of the cartoon.
 * Matthew Broderick was considered to voice Adam Apple before Andy Samberg was confirmed.
 * This film marks the first instance that a Shopkin actually dies.
 * The animation for the characters were done by Rough Draft Korea, while the 3D computer-generated scenery and objects were done by Pixel Zoo Animations.
 * The parfait glasses are exactly the same shape as Patricia Parfait Glass, except being smaller, not having the eyes, arms and feet of her, and being colored like normal glass.
 * Although the film is titled "Shopkins: The Movie", Shopkins: Chef Club was released as the first film based on the toy line and the cartoon. This is because of the fact that it is a theatrically released film for theaters worldwide, including North America.
 * Cheeky Chocolate owns an MP3 player in this film.
 * Choc-Kate Sundae serves as Patricia Parfait Glass's sidekick, despite the fact that she is a sundae-related Shopkin.
 * Due to this, she becomes Suzie Sundae's sister at the end of this film, which is the reason why she isn't related to parfaits at all.
