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 and 27 minutes, 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 the first fully animated film of Lauren London and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.
 * 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.
 * Joss Whedon, who co-directed the film, and Sigourney Weaver, who voiced Patricia Parfait Glass, previously worked together on 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.

 * 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, and the song that she listens (and sings along) to is "Intergalactic" by Beastie Boys.
