BlueDream Studios (U.S.), and Melies Producciones and Plano Sujetivo (Spain), have greenlighted the production of Animal Crackers 2 for a Q4 2026 Release. The sequel to the 2017 Animal Crackers movie, which featured a star-studded voice cast including John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Danny De Vito, Ian Mckellen and Sylvester Stallone, is set to start production in Q1 2025 at B Water Studios (Spain).
Helmed by returning Animal Crackers directors Scott Christian Sava and Jaime Maestro, Animal Crackers 2 will focus on Owen and Zoe, the circus owners, who leave their daughter Mackenzie and their circus in the hands of Chesterfield the Clown to secure a global cookie distribution deal — and chaos ensues.

Dennis at Melies Producciones, Luis Millán and José David Díaz at Plano Sujetivo, and BWater Studios.

But the owner of the toy company wants his robots back, and he’s willing to do anything to get them.
