“It’s time to get tiny! Let’s get this dollhouse back.” Universal has unveiled the official trailer for Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, a DreamWorks Animation production involving live-action and animation. This is a big screen version of the super popular TV series “Gabby’s Dollhouse”, which first began airing in 2021. This “interactive” series combines live-action and animation, and has Gabby (voiced and portrayed by Laila Lockhart Kraner) and her cat friends (called the Gabby Cats) going on adventures inside the dollhouse. In Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, Gabby and Grandma Gigi’s road trip takes an unexpected turn when Gabby’s prized dollhouse ends up with eccentric cat lady Vera – played by Kristen Wiig. Gabby embarks on a adventure to reunite the Gabby Cats and retrieve her beloved dollhouse before it’s too late. Laila Lockhart Kraner co-stars with Gloria Estefan as Grandma Gigi, plus Ego Nwodim, Kyle Mooney, and Melissa Villaseñor, as well as Emmy nominee Thomas Lennon, Jason Mantzoukas, and Fortune Feimster. Looks like a fun time for any fans of this series already. Reminds me of the SpongeBob SquarePants moves.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Ryan Crego’s Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, from YouTube:
