“Baby Shark”, the highly infectious visual for kids will now be getting a full movie, Paramount announced.
The children’s favourite song holds a record of the most-watched YouTube video in history will be developed into a full movie and should be released in 2023
The film won’t technically be Baby Shark’s first foray into a cinematic format: the hour-long Pinkfong and Baby Shark’s Space Adventure had a limited theatrical run, although it was primarily a Netflix release, at least in the US. But the upcoming film appears to be a more traditional full-blow theatrical release, which is an impressive jump for the 2-minute, 16-second YouTube video.
There are virtually no details on what the Baby Shark movie (which is set to be co-produced by Nickelodeon Animation and the Pinkfong Company) will entail. Presumably, it’ll have songs that will almost certainly get stuck in your (or your child’s) head for eternity.
The original “Baby Shark” video became the first YouTube video to cross the 10 billion view mark last month, and it has already gotten a TV show spinoff (Baby Shark’s Big Show), in addition to the newly announced film.
