Hey movie buffs and plush toy fans! 🧸👾 The adorable—yet delightfully toothy—Labubu dolls, which have taken the internet by storm, are about to make their big-screen debut! 🎬✨
This week, Sony Pictures confirmed it has acquired screen rights to Labubu from toy makers in the Chinese mainland. With development just kicking off, no director or producer is attached yet, but fans are already buzzing over whether the movie will be animated or live-action.
You might remember Sony's animation division scoring big earlier this year with "KPop Demon Hunters"—an anime-inspired hit that had everyone vibing to K-pop beats and epic visuals. Now, Labubu's playful chaos is next in line for center stage.
Will we see real-life monster costumes? Or will Labubu roam the screen in full CGI? Either way, the franchise potential is huge. From viral merch drops to spin-offs, these chomp-happy creatures could soon be everywhere—from your TikTok FYP to your neighborhood cinema.
Keep your eyes peeled for updates as Sony dives deeper into the project. And hey, start sketching your best #LabubuMovie fan art—this is one film journey you'll want to ride! 🚀
