Cocomelon makes the jump from YouTube to theaters with new movie
Cocomelon Lane.
The Cocomelon empire is expanding once again.
A few years after the massively popular kids YouTube channel turned into a Netflix series, now it’s also becoming a feature film.
Cocomelon parent company Moonbug Entertainment announced that a theatrical movie has been greenlit, which will be developed in part by DreamWorks Animation.
There aren’t really any details about the movie yet, though a press release says that “fans will follow JJ and his friends on the big screen for a new adventure when the film premieres in theaters in 2027.”
First-launched on YouTube in 2006, Cocomelon’s kid-oriented videos have proved to incredibly popular.
The channel currently has more than 190 million subscribers, and Moonbug says that it averages 4 billion monthly views.
It expanded into streaming with the series Cocomelon Lane on Netflix, which released its fourth season this year.
A move into film makes for a logical next step, particularly as releases like A Minecraft Movie have proven that there’s still very much an appetite for family-friendly theatrical experiences.
