Labubu Is Coming To Hollywood
But can it survive the movie treatment?
Sony Pictures now owns the rights, but no one knows what happens next: no script, no director, not even a whisper of cast. Just an announcement—like static before a transmission. What world will Labubu inhabit? Animation? Live action? Something uncanny that slips between? Fans are holding their breath… and clutching their collectibles like talismans.
Folklore in a corporate world
Labubu was never meant to be polished. It was never here to be cute. That snarl, those eyes—there’s weird there. Playfulness too. A child’s dream mixed with the echo of something different. It’s why collectors line up at dawn. It’s why celebrities flex them like status symbols. And it’s why Sony made the deal. Remember the Cabbage Patch Kids?
But the real risk? Hollywood has a habit of declawing what it loves. That’s why the best version of this movie feels like The Lego Movie wandered into Pan’s Labyrinth and never found its way out.
