Animal Crackers is a 2017 animated comedy-fantasy film directed by Scott Christian Sava and Tony Bancroft, written by Sava and Dean Lorey and based on the animal-shaped cookie (and also loosely on the graphic novel by Sava).[4] The film features the voices of Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Danny DeVito, Ian McKellen, Sylvester Stallone, Patrick Warburton, Raven-Symoné, Harvey Fierstein, Wallace Shawn, Gilbert Gottfried, Tara Strong, James Arnold Taylor, Kevin Grevioux, and Lydia Rose Taylor in her film debut. It tells the story of a family who comes across a box of magical animal crackers that turns anyone that consumes a cracker into the animal that the cracker represents and this animal handily saves the circus that the family was associated with.
The film premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 12, 2017. It was released in China on July 21, 2018.[3] It was released on Netflix on July 24, 2020, to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics.[5]
On November 8, 2024, it was announced a sequel Animal Crackers 2 is currently in production and will be released in 2026.[6]
