The sprinkle party is moving from your living room to the theater! DreamWorks Animation is bringing the global preschool sensation to the big screen for the very first time with Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, releasing in theaters on September 26, 2025. Fans who have loved watching Gabby and her cat-tastic friends on Netflix since 2021 will now experience a whole new adventure filled with music, magic, and heart.
As Gabby herself might say, “Anything is possible inside the dollhouse!” — and now that magic is about to shine brighter than ever before.
🏞️ The Adventure: From Dollhouse to Cat Francisco
The film takes Gabby (played once again by Laila Lockhart Kraner) outside her colorful dollhouse world and into the bustling, whimsical city of Cat Francisco. On a road trip with her Grandma Gigi (voiced by Gloria Estefan), Gabby’s most prized possession — her dollhouse — falls into the hands of Vera (played by Kristen Wiig), an eccentric cat lady with big plans of her own.
Now, Gabby must journey through the real world and rally her beloved Gabby Cats — including Pandy Paws, Cakey, DJ Catnip, Baby Box, MerCat, and more — for the biggest mission yet: saving the dollhouse before it’s gone forever.
🎤 A Starry Cast of Voices and Characters

🎨 Behind the Magic
Directed by Ryan Crego (Arlo the Alligator Boy) and produced by Steven Schweickart (Kung Fu Panda 4, The Croods), the film combines live-action and animation for the first time in Gabby’s Dollhouse history. It’s also DreamWorks Animation’s first original live-action hybrid movie not based on a remake, making it a milestone for the studio.
The soundtrack, crafted by Stephanie Economou, promises to sprinkle musical joy into Gabby’s biggest adventure yet — a true family event full of songs kids will want to sing over and over.
🌍 From Netflix to Theaters – A Global Phenomenon
Since its debut in 2021, Gabby’s Dollhouse has become one of Netflix’s biggest preschool hits, ranking in the Top 10 in 63 countries and even earning a spot as one of Nielsen’s most-viewed streaming originals of 2024. The brand has expanded into toys, books, live shows, theme parks, and more — making it a beloved universe for millions of children worldwide.
The leap to theaters feels like the natural next step for Gabby’s glitter-filled journey. For parents who have watched countless episodes at home, this movie promises a magical family day out.
