Playmobil: The Movie is a 2019 English-language French computer-animated adventure comedy film based on the German building toy Playmobil. The film is directed and conceived by Disney veteran Lino DiSalvo, in his directorial debut, written by Blaise Hemingway, Greg Erb, and Jason Oremland, and produced by On Animation Studios. The film stars the voices of Anya Taylor-Joy, Jim Gaffigan, Gabriel Bateman, Adam Lambert, Kenan Thompson, Meghan Trainor and Daniel Radcliffe. The film follows a girl named Marla who tries to save her brother from a Playmobil world that the two are sucked into and becomes involved in the midst of a population-capturing scheme by Emperor Maximus.

DiSalvo instantly got to work on animatics following Open Road's acquisition, completing five animatics in Los Angeles and Montreal before work on the assets began.[19] The first 15 months of the film's production was spent in Los Angeles, with a crew of ten people. When the project moved to Montreal, 300 people ("more than half of the animation crew at a typical Disney movie") were involved.[19] Both DiSalvo and Hemingway, long-time friends, re-watched their favorite 1980s films like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) in writing Playmobil; Hemingway explained that both the movie and the old-school films they referenced knew "how to find what is magical in the most mundane situations."[28]

Coming up with a convenient workflow for animating 2D faces on 3D objects was another challenge, which Jeremy Ringard and Claude Levastre were responsible for. They first came up with the idea of modeling and rigging the features as 3D shapes, but this led to problems of Z-fighting, intersection, and "floating" appearances in close-up shots.[34] They then thought of a "texture flipbook", where the animators chose from a set of facial features in order to keep the look of the movie consistent; however, they figured that it would disallow any variations to the expressions and be very expensive due to the amount of storage, texture resolution, and file management involved.[31] Finally, they came up with a system where the animators used 3D-rig-controlled 2D shapes that were converted as a dynamic texture applied on the 3D head in the viewport, and the animation would be rendered in real-time through a shader free of resolution or sampling restrictions.[31]

The car Dasher drives is a Porsche Mission E, the 2015 concept version of the Porsche Taycan; Playmobil is the Porsche's first appearance in a major film, and a remote-controlled Mission E toy was released as a movie tie-in.[35]

Today, we have so many cynical movies and TV shows out there, but I wanted to make a movie about a family coming together. Hopefully, parents and their kids will feel the same way about the movie, and appreciate the truthfulness of Playmobil as we tried to explore the wonderful truth that's in these toys.

According to DiSalvo, the moral of Playmobil: The Movie is, "The only rules that matter are the ones you set."[37] As Nick Hasted of The Arts Desk categorized Playmobil, "it's a breezy B-movie in a genre aspiring to Mad comic satire and grand opera;" with an "unpretentious good nature" a la 1980s and 1990s after-school specials.[38] Due to Playmobil being set in a world filled with different universes, the film caricaturizes and plays with the tropes of several genres, including western films, fantasy, science fiction, and musicals.[30] In acknowledging inevitable comparisons to The Lego Movie, DiSalvo claimed, "The movie Lego relied a lot on comedy and wasn't so much driven by characters, while our film will follow more the Disney tradition of storytelling and is meant to appeal to girls as much as boys."[26] According to Tito Ortiz, Playmobil is about the importance of forgiveness, tolerance, and unity in broken families.[36]

DiSalvo also described Playmobil: The Movie as similar to the Tom Hanks film Big (1988), in that the main character has to think like a child to achieve her goal.[29] Its premise of two siblings being sucked into a fantastical setting also garnered comparisons by journalists to The Pagemaster (1994),[39] the Jumanji films,[39] and Pleasantville (1998);[40] while the use of a live-action opening and a brother-and-sister relationship was also in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019).[39][41] Some reviewers noted the shedding of gender roles in Playmobil, including Hasted: "When DiSalvo detours to Playmobil's girl-focused range with the arrival of Meghan Trainor's tattooed fairy godmother and pink flying horses, Marla's brisk bravery muddles gender stereotypes with similar irreverence."[38] Caroline Siede honored the film's "Be anything you want to be" message for allowing Marla to be any type of character regardless of her gender,[39] and Charlotte O'Sullivan of the Evening Standard called her a better Susan Pevensie: "Though interested in lipstick, and keen on being grown-up, she is never dismissed as silly or vain."[42] One NBC News review noted Dasher's "pointed jabs about sexist archetypes."[43]

Playmobil: The Movie premiered as the opener of the 2019 Annecy festival, which ran from 10 to 15 June 2019.[45] As reported by Cartoon Brew, it "was widely criticized by festival attendees and caused large numbers of the audience to leave in the middle of the film."[46] On 17 June, CineEurope presented a trailer and a clip of Playmobil.[47]

Playmobil: The Movie had its first trailer released on 16 December 2018, with a release date set for 16 August 2019.[40] The second trailer was released on 23 July 2019 with the release date changed to 22 November.[48][49] Each trailer present a different premise: the first presented the film as focusing on Marla trying to save her brother in a Playmobil.[40] while the second revealed the live-action segments and depicted it as being about Rex Dasher saving the Playmobil population from a secret organization.[50] Ben Pearson of /Film noted that the marketing strategy "trie[d] to shield its actual plot."[50] He also called the film's animation promising: "While the characters are clearly simplified to match the Playmobil toys that inspired them, the animation looks pretty slick and there's some interesting lighting going on in a few of the shots on display here."[50]

Chris Evangelista of /Film wrote upon the first trailer's release, "It's pretty clear that Playmobil: The Movie is skewing to a young audience [...] And while this may seem like a cynical cash-grab, many people felt the same way before the first LEGO Movie came out until the final results proved to be surprisingly enjoyable. Maybe Playmobil will manage to do the same."[40] CNET, also responding to the trailer, opined that "It looks fun and hopefully will boast the same universal appeal as the Lego Movie."[51] Commenting on the second trailer, Screen Rant writer Mike Jones felt the humor had its "own charm and feel" despite being comparable to The Lego Movie: "there does appear to be a decent amount of fun, laughs and adventure on display."[48] However, he also questioned the scheduling of "such a small scale" production being scheduled in a season having to compete with Jumanji: The Next Level and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.[48] Collider's coverage of the second trailer was ecstatic, noting its "fun" factor and opining it had the same meta humor style as The Lego Movie.[52] Sarah El-Mahmoud of Cinema Blend summarized, "the trailer showcases tons of fun action sequences with fast car chases, dinosaurs, and scared squirrels. [...] One has to wonder if a connection to human kids will also be present in this movie as The LEGO Movie and Toy Story do." However, with the awareness that the film was trying to capitalize on the fame of The Lego Movie, she also had skepticism toward its success due to the weak box office of The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.[53] A PopSugar journalist claimed, "damn, it looks good," also showing enthusiasm for Radcliffe's appearance.[54] According to Geekspin, "a few people already have a hunch that the Playmobil movie will flop at the box office," due to the superior popularity of LEGO over Playmobil, and the film's lack of intellectual properties, and star power.[55]

Playmobil: The Movie was released in France by Pathé on 7 August 2019, on 610 screens, and was released in the US by STX Entertainment on 6 December 2019. It was originally scheduled to be released in the United States by Open Road Films on 18 January 2019,[22] which was later delayed to 19 April 2019,[56] Due to the bankruptcy of Global Road, STX bought the U.S. distribution rights to the film in early April 2019,[57] and set the U.S. release date to 30 August 2019. On 5 August 2019, STX pushed the U.S. release date back once more to 6 December 2019, among other schedule changes of other films from STX that reportedly happened due to STX having limited cash flow, and wanting to pull their resources in to supporting Hustlers, although STX has denied that this was the case.[58] Upon its release in the United States on 6 December, STX reportedly encouraged theaters to offer tickets to all showings of the film for just US$5, a significantly lower cost than most American movie tickets.[59] The film news site Moviehole also gave away ten family passes of Playmobil.[60]
