Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie

If you're a fan of the colorful, whimsical world of Gabby's Dollhouse, then you're in for a treat with Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie. This live-action and animated musical fantasy comedy brings the beloved Netflix series to the big screen in a bigger, bolder way. With a runtime of 98 minutes, it’s packed with adventure, music, and of course, plenty of adorable kitty characters.

The story follows Gabby, played by Laila Lockhart Kraner, as she heads out on a road trip with her Grandma Gigi (Gloria Estefan) to the vibrant city of Cat Francisco. But things take a wild turn when her magical dollhouse — home to the Gabby Cats — ends up in the hands of an eccentric cat lady named Vera (Kristen Wiig). What follows is a fun-filled journey through the real world as Gabby tries to reunite her furry friends and save her dollhouse.

The movie blends live-action and animation seamlessly, with a cast that includes Jason Mantzoukas as Chumsley, a plush cat with a past, and a host of returning voice actors from the series. Expect catchy songs, imaginative visuals, and a candy-colored world that’s as sweet as it sounds. The soundtrack, featuring original songs and tracks by Aespa and Lu Kala, adds to the film’s upbeat and playful vibe.

Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie is clearly made for younger audiences — especially fans of the original show. Kids will love the magical settings, silly humor, and lovable characters. It’s a great pick for a family movie outing or a weekend treat for the little ones.

That said, if you're over the age of 10 or not into super cutesy, high-energy kids' content, this might not be your cup of tea. Some critics noted that the film’s relentless cheeriness and sugary tone could be a bit much for adults. But for its target audience, it hits the mark — earning an impressive A+ CinemaScore and positive reviews for its charm and creativity.

So, if you’ve got young kids or are just a big fan of Gabby and her magical dollhouse, this movie is a fun, feel-good ride that delivers exactly what it promises: a colorful adventure full of heart, music, and kitty magic.
