Dreamworks Jr. has released the trailer for “CoComelon: The Movie,” which brings the hugely-popular children’s series to the big screen for the first time. The trailer shows JJ and his friends searching for his stuffed bear, Boba. While looking in a lost-and-found box, they’re transported into an unknown world where they must embark on an exciting new adventure to bring Boba home.
The film adaptation sees the return of Connor Esterson (“Spy Kids: Armageddon”) as JJ, Camden Brooks (“Swapped”) as Cody, Olivia London Leyva (“Lopez vs. Lopez”) as Nina and Aerina DeBoer (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”) as CeCe.
Newcomers include Ike Barinholtz (“The Studio”), Ego Nwodim (“Saturday Night Live”), Josh Johnson (“The Daily Show”), Matt Friend (“Family Guy”), Rhys Darby (“Jumanji: The Next Level”) and Cristo Fernández (“Ted Lasso”).
Kat Good is directing “CoComelon: The Movie,” which is set to arrive in theaters Feb. 19 and will be released by Universal Pictures with animation by the DNEG Group. DreamWorks Animation, Moonbug Entertainment, Flywheel Media and Prime Focus Studios are producing. Featuring performances by SZA, new original music will also be created for the film by songwriter and executive music producer Justin Tranter, who has previously collaborated with Chappell Roan, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. “CoComelon” began as a YouTube series in 2006 and now has over 200 million subscribers. The series teaches children life skills and foundational education through music, and its spike in popularity led to the series being picked up by Netflix, where spinoffs such as “CoComelon Lane,” “CoComelon Classroom,” “Cody Time,” “Nina’s Familia” and “JJ’s Animal Time” were generated. Disney+ will oversee the program beginning 2027 after Netflix opted to not renew its license. CoComelon's First Big-Screen Adventure! JJ and friends are off to kindergarten and into a bigger world than ever before. New songs, new friends, and a whole lot of heart await.
