Shopkins: The Movie

Shopkins: The Movie is a 2019 animated comedy film based on the Moose Toys brand Shopkins and the cartoon webseries. It was directed by Paul Gillett, Joss Whedon and Matthew O'Callaghan from a screenplay by Gillett, Mark Zaslove, Kirk DeMicco, C. H. Greenblatt and Matt Kinmonth and story by Gillett, O'Callaghan and Zaslove. The film serves as a continuation of the cartoon, which was produced 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, which are animated by Rough Draft Korea, and Pixel Zoo Animations, respectively.

Kate Murphy, Aziz Ansari, Marieve Herington, Brianna Plantano, Cassandra Lee Morris, Doug Erholtz, Abby Trott, Kayli Mills and Erika Harlacher reprise their respective roles from the cartoon, with Andy Samberg, Sigourney Weaver, Hailee Steinfeld and Tom Holland joining the cast. The film premiered in Australia on October 25, 2019 and was theatrically released in the United States on November 1 by Universal Pictures. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised its animation, voice performances (particularly those of Samberg and Weaver), emotional weight, music, and humor, with many considering it to be the best film based on a toy line. However, it was a box office disappointment, grossing $114.6 million against a production budget of $95 million.
