First Trailer For ‘Playmobil: The Movie’

My first reaction to hearing there was going to be a Playmobil movie was “well ya, LEGO made money on it, so why wouldn’t a producer try it again with the brand that everyone thinks of after them?” That feeling has carried through to today when we have now gotten a chance to see the first trailer for the film.

It feels like a reaction to the LEGO movie more than it’s own thing. It will be interesting to see if the voice cast of Gabriel Bateman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jim Gaffigan, Daniel Radcliffe, and Meghan Trainor are enough to get fans to take a chance on a film that feels like one they’ve already seen. So far, the biggest difference s between the two are that the children from the real world will be directly involved in this story and Playmobil doesn’t have the countless licenses that LEGO had at their disposal to hide behind for fan service moments.

PLAYMOBIL: THE MOVIE takes audiences on an epic comedy adventure through a sprawling imaginative universe in the first-ever feature film inspired by the beloved, award-winning PLAYMOBIL® role-play toys. Packed with humour and excitement the film combines endearing and hilarious characters, thrilling adventure and breathtaking scenery in this originally animated heart-warming tale. When her younger brother Charlie (Gabriel Bateman) unexpectedly disappears into the magical, animated universe of PLAYMOBIL®, unprepared Marla (Anya Taylor-Joy) must go on a quest of a lifetime to bring him home. As she sets off on a fantastic journey across stunning new worlds, Marla teams up with some unlikely and heroic new friends – the smooth-talking food truck driver Del (Jim Gaffigan), the dashing and charismatic secret agent Rex Dasher (Daniel Radcliffe), a wholehearted misfit robot, an extravagant fairy-godmother (Meghan Trainor) and many more. Through their vibrant adventure, Marla and Charlie realize that no matter how life plays out, you can achieve anything when you believe in yourself!
