Fluvsies: The Movie (known in some countries as Fluvsies) is a 2026 American 2.5D machinima fantasy action-adventure film produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation, in association with TutoProductions, Lord Miller Productions, Mikros Animation, and Cartoon Saloon, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is based on a pet game of the same name. The film is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, from a screenplay written by Derek Connolly, and a story written by Lauren Faust.
By 2023, they were discussing a Fluvsies film, and in February 2024, TutoToons announced that they will produce it alongside Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation, with Lord and Miller attached as directors and producers. Originally planned as a 2D animated film, it was then shifted to a new animation style that would be "in the same vein as the source material". Sony Pictures Imageworks, Mikros Animation, Cartoon Saloon, Industrial Light & Magic, Wētā FX, and Blur Studio are responsible for handling animation and visual effects services for the film. The cinematographer, John Schwartzman, used a combination of IMAX 65 mm and 65 mm large-format film, including, for the first time in an animated film, scenes in IMAX black-and-white film photography.
Fluvsies: The Movie was theatrically released in April 2, 2026 in 2D, 3D, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX, IMAX 3D, 4DX, and ScreenX by Sony Pictures Releasing, and gained universal acclaim from critics, audiences, and fans alike, praising its story, screenplay, animation, visuals, voice acting, action sequences, faithfulness to the source material, heart, character appearances, humor, emotional weight, subject matter, entertainment value, and Hans Zimmer and Brian Eno's musical score. With a worldwide gross of $1.5 billion against a budget of $440 million, it became the second highest-grossing film of 2026 and the fourth highest-grossing animated film of all time. It also broke multiple box-office records, including the biggest worldwide opening weekend for an animated film and the highest-grossing film based on a video game. Fluvsies: The Movie won numerous awards, including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the 99th Academy Awards, 54th Annie Awards, and 84th Golden Globe Awards.
Since its release, it is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential animated movies ever made. Many critics considered the film a "blueprint" for many modern kid-friendly video game movies. It is also a pivotal film in animation and visual effects, particularly its machinima style, as well as being regarded as the most iconic machinima film of all time. The film had a significant effect on popular culture worldwide.

Plot[]
Main story[]
There was once a planet that was far, far, far, far, far, far, far.... very far from this universe known as the Fluvsiverse. Every single fluvsie calls this little planet home. This planet was formed after a meteor collapsed into a pink meteor millions of years ago. In the magical world of Fluvtopia, where fluffy and colorful creatures known as Fluvsies live, a dark cloud looms on the horizon. The once vibrant and peaceful land is threatened by the raining minions of The Guileful. Sneaky little rats, sly, tall ferrets and big, strong raccoons including the almighty king, King Rakoon I invaded Fluvtopia. The fluvsies thought it was the end of their home but that all changed when the goddesses, Rainbow, Ruby and Star, came to save the day. Star, the most powerful of the trio, let out a huge tractor beam that not only destroyed the popularity of The Guileful and King Rakoon I but also destroyed Star. When she passed away, the moon symbol on her belly, broke apart into three pieces, sent to the future Luna, Space and Midnight.
Many years passed and the Fluvsiverse is increasing its population. Meanwhile in an underground burrow, The Guileful along with their new king, King Rakoon II, found out that the Fluvsoul-Meter for his Mechkoon is low. He called every gaze, every fesnyng, every colony of the army with his shofar. As they were about to start, they were catapulted by a secret compartment and sent them to the different realms and islands (the islands seen in Fluvsies: Pocket World).

Visual effects and animation[]
The animation was provided by Sony Pictures Imageworks, with additional animation being provided by Mikros Animation and Cartoon Saloon, and additional assets borrowed by Industrial Light & Magic, while the visual effects were provided by Wētā FX and Blur Studio. The number eventually grew to 91 animators during production. It became clear that they could not complete the film on time, so the crew was expanded further. The number had reached about 181 animators by August 2024 and at one point to 250 animators. According to Lord and Miller, they wanted the film to feel like the viewer had "walked inside a fantasy world of fluffy critters" by making the film's animation to look like machinima compared to a traditional computer animation and mimic the choppy-like animation like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Music[]
The film's original score was composed by Hans Zimmer and Brian Eno, replacing Lord and Miller's frequent collaborator Mark Mothersbaugh. They described the composition as "big", featuring electronic ambient sounds and choirs.

A special variant for the IMAX Countdown ident were made for Fluvsies. In the variant, "PREPARE...TO...BELIEVE" changes to, "THEY ARE...A FLUV...TO LUV" in the traditional film backdrop, and at 8, the scene explodes with cotton candy clouds, jellybeans and candy, transitioning into the Fluvsiverse. Numbers and phrases in the countdown are in the Candy Beans font in a 3D font. At 5, the screen will fly through the Fluvsiverse, Fluvtown, Fluvsies Clubhouse, Puffyclouds, Savorygoods, R.B.U.'s lab, Brushie's makeup store, pet shop and Bowie's clothing shop through the FluvMall. At 3, the screen digs underground to the location of The Guileful. The mouse was seen holding a sign with untidy and sketchy handwriting that reads, "EARTH SHATTERING SOUND!!!" then the underground started to shake violently, and the camera digs back up. At the end, the ring passes over the IMAX logo with a fluffy texture. It wipes and turns the logo into the regular IMAX logo. As the ring moves off-screen, the background fades out, followed by the IMAX logo itself.
