Trendy, upbeat pop music, such as ROS\u00c9 and Bruno Mars\u2019\u2019s \u201cAPT.,\u201d keeps the film current and encourages older viewers to join the party. Additionally, the set design is breathtaking. The environments that each of the Gabby Cats discover at Vera\u2019s mansion, such as MerCat\u2019s underwater realm, are colorful, intricate and include just the right amount of glitter. Kitty Fairy\u2019s garden kingdom is especially outstanding, built inside a striking violet geode surrounded by peaceful plants and tiny waterfalls. Another one I love is the candy-covered snow kingdom, which features fun details like a rainbow-stripe river and towers of cookies.<\/p>\n<p>A final aspect worth mentioning is the character development of the antagonists. While Vera and her former cat, Chumsley (Jason Mantzoukas) are initially portrayed as villains, the writers allow both characters to leave that behind.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14356\" style=\"width: 265px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14356\" class=\" wp-image-14356\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gabby30A77_TP_00048-600x251-bd24542.jpg?resize=255%2C107&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gabby30A77_TP_00048-600x251-bd24542.jpg?resize=300%2C126&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gabby30A77_TP_00048-600x251-bd24542.jpg?w=599&amp;ssl=1 599w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14356\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(from left) Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner) and Gigi (Gloria Estefan) in DreamWorks Animation\u2019s Gabby\u2019s Dollhouse: The Movie, directed by Ryan Crego.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The source of their problems is displayed through flashbacks, evoking sympathy, and I found myself rooting for them just as much as I was for Gabby. Watching the antagonists rediscover fun and get their happy ending reinforces the message everyone deserves happiness.<\/p>\n<p>This film is a reminder that growing up doesn\u2019t have to mean giving up everything that brought you happiness as a child. Some thing &#8212; like friendship &#8212; are forever.

It gives a good message to kids and is great for learning. Mostly this is a solid kid\u2019s movie but I did have some issues with some of the characters\u2019 behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>The plot follows Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner), a girl who loves to play and she especially treasures the dollhouse that Grandma Gigi (Gloria Estefan) made for her; it is her most prized possession. When the dollhouse falls into the hands of a peculiar, eccentric cat lady, Vera (Kristen Wiig), Gabby is determined to get her dollhouse back and save her Gabby cats.<\/p>\n<p>I like how this is a very interactive movie for the audience with the actors often turning to the screen and asking the audience to repeat a phrase or sing along. Children watching this movie will learn new words, songs, and more.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14352\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gabby30A77_05_11_28_14_448526-600x251-bd24542.jpg?resize=252%2C106&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gabby30A77_05_11_28_14_448526-600x251-bd24542.jpg?resize=300%2C126&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gabby30A77_05_11_28_14_448526-600x251-bd24542.jpg?w=599&amp;ssl=1 599w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px\" \/>I did not particularly enjoy the character development and how certain ideas are portrayed. Some of the characters\u2019 decisions seem too spontaneous and unrealistic for how people actually handle change. Chumsley (Jason Mantzoukas) is extremely rude to Gabby which seems to come out of nowhere and he never apologizes for his actions. Chumsley insults Gabby and kicks her out of her own dollhouse. This type of behavior goes against what is okay and what isn\u2019t. On the other hand, when Vera realizes that she has been a bad friend to Chumsley, she apologizes and they make up. As much as I enjoyed the film, I felt that many characters seem unfinished and the movie tries to include too many plot lines and too many characters. It feels quite overstimulating at times. Although this is a kids\u2019 movie, I believe that adults will also enjoy watching it mostly because of the character Vera. She is a very odd and a genuinely funny character. Vera\u2019s conversations and yoga sessions with her cat are hilarious. She is such a fun character and Kristen Wiig really goes all out in portraying her.<\/p>\n<p>I love the film\u2019s message, which is to stay young and playful as long as you can. It not only teaches kids to appreciate their toys; it teaches us that playing is normal and fun. Vera, the eccentric cat lady, has sworn off all sorts of play ever since she grew up. It\u2019s great watching her develop into someone who is more accepting of fun and play. It also reminds us of limitations and how going too far with play can result in chaos. Please be advised that Gabby\u2019s Dollhouse includes many loud sounds and bright flashes which may be overstimulating to sensitive eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I give Gabby\u2019s Dollhouse: The Movie 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 8. It opens in theaters on September 26, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the new film, Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner) heads out on a road trip with her Grandma Gigi (Gloria Estefan) to the urban wonderland of Cat Francisco.
