Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie

If you’ve got little ones who are obsessed with all things cute, colorful, and cat-themed, then “Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie” is going to be right up their alley. Based on the popular Netflix series, this live-action/animated musical fantasy comedy brings Gabby and her magical dollhouse to the big screen for a full-blown adventure.

The story kicks off with Gabby heading out on a road trip to the vibrant city of Cat Francisco with her Grandma Gigi. But things take a wild turn when her beloved dollhouse accidentally ends up in the hands of Vera, a quirky cat lady with a flair for the dramatic. What follows is a whimsical journey through the real world as Gabby shrinks down to dollhouse size and sets out to reunite her Gabby Cats and save her magical home.

The movie blends live-action and animation in a way that’s visually fun and engaging for young viewers. Laila Lockhart Kraner reprises her role as Gabby, joined by a cast that includes Kristen Wiig as the eccentric Vera, Gloria Estefan as Grandma Gigi, and Jason Mantzoukas voicing Chumsley, a plush cat with a complicated past. The voice cast also features familiar characters from the show like Pandy Paws, Cakey, MerCat, and DJ Catnip, all bringing their unique personalities to the screen.

With a runtime of 98 minutes, the film is packed with catchy songs, colorful visuals, and plenty of silly, sweet moments. It’s clearly made with its young fanbase in mind—think preschool to early elementary school age. The humor, music, and magical elements are all tailored to keep kids entertained, and the message about growing up and holding onto what you love adds a nice emotional touch.

That said, if you’re over the age of 10 and not already a fan of the series, this might not be your cup of tea. Some adult critics found the film a bit too sugary and relentless in its cheerfulness. But for families looking for a safe, fun, and visually delightful movie to enjoy together, this one hits the mark.

In short, “Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie” is a colorful, feel-good ride that delivers exactly what fans of the show would expect—adorable characters, playful adventures, and a whole lot of kitty magic.
