Shopkins: The Movie

Shopkins: The Movie is a 2019 animated comedy film based on the Moose Toys brand of the same name, as well as the cartoon webseries adaptation.

Greenblatt and Matt Kinmonth and story by Gillett, O'Callaghan and Zaslove.

The film is 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.

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 generally positive reviews from critics and grossed over $319.5 million worldwide against a budget of $70 million.
