Animal Crossing Christmas Festival: The Movie!, Known in Japan as 劇場版どうぶつの森冬に！(Animal Crossing The Movie: In Winter!) is an upcoming American / Japanese animated film produced by D.A.S. Films and Nintendo, Directed by Devin A. Sanchez and based on the Animal Crossing video game series. It is the sequel to Dōbutsu no Mori (2006). The film was originally set to be released on December 1, 2023, however after an unknown conflict with production and with Nintendo, the film was delayed to sometime in 2024 or 2025, the current date is now unknown.
The film retains the theme of the video games, this film unlike Dōbutsu no Mori centers on an 14-year-old boy named Evan who moves in to a Village populated with anthropomorphic animals and encounters friends along the way to make his big adventure.
Original Premise[]
When a Confident 14-year old boy named Evan moves into a new town, he struggles to find any hope of the Christmas experience he had been waiting to move for, after working with Tom Nook at Nook's Cranny, he and his friends Bob and Goldie set off to find out a way to bring joy to their village by going into the city, and with the help of his friends, he and the rest of the village have an amazing Toy Day Christmas. After the Christmas celebration comes the Christmas Festival, aka. The Winter Festival.
Delay and Cancellation[]
After an interview with Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, a mention of the movie being released on the same day as the Renaissance movie caused a big delay to avoid competition, also other conflicts with Nintendo and D.A.S. Films originally moved it from 2024 to possibly 2025.
It was announced on June 21, 2024 from a quickly deleted post that the movie was cancelled due to a loss of partnership with Nintendo and because D.A.S. Films wanted to "focus on more original projects" such as "Botmore" and "Jelnimals".
