The popular hit children’s series BLIPPI will make its debut in theaters on August 25, for a 60-minute special called BLIPPI’S BIG DINO ADVENTURE.
Moonbug Entertainment, a subsidiary of Candle Media is partnering with theaters across the nation to bring BLIPPI to the big screen.
Kyle DeLash, Director of Distribution of North America at Moonbug Entertainment stated, “We’re excited to partner with Cinemark to bring Blippi and Meekah to the big screen allowing fans to experience the brand like never before.”
“With this first-of-a-kind partnership, Moonbug is bringing a digital and audience-led global IP into a cinematic experience, expanding the footprint of the overall Blippi franchise. Moonbug is focused on elevating its content brands with premium distribution partners and Cinemark was the perfect partner to help activate this,” Advanced Technology reported of DeLash.
In addition, Katelynn Heil, the general manger of BLIPPI for Moonbug Entertainment said, “We love being able to inspire curiosity and confidence in kids everywhere and with our fans’ support, we’re expanding the ways Blippi and his curiosity crew show up for kids and families. We’re particularly excited Blippi is coming to U.S. theaters for the first time, especially since this will be many of our fans’ first movie theater experience. Blippi is truly a grassroots brand, which is why we’re specifically expanding in ways that bring our content and characters closer to our fans.”
Moonbug Entertainment strives to give every child access to its fun and entertaining content. That is the main reason their shows are available on more than 150 streaming platforms worldwide and in 29 languages, one including American Sign Language.
USA TODAY reported, “In BLIPPI’S BIG DINO ADVENTURE, Blippi (played in the extended episode by Clayton Grimm) and Meekah (Cashae Monya) are recruited at the T-Rex Ranch to help find some lost dinosaur eggs. As the trailer shared exclusively with USA TODAY shows, time is of the essence, and the eggs need to be recovered before they hatch. Blippi and Meekah’s hunt takes them to a colorful ball pit and on a dig for fossils. And the friends still find time to play a game of Sink or Float, analyzing the buoyancy of various objects.”
