Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie
This is a musical fantasy comedy based on the Netflix kids series featuring a young girl Gabby & her Gabby Cats. Gabby & her Grandma GIGi (Gloria Esteban) are driving cross country to visit urban Cat Francisco with its steep streets & iconic pink suspension bridge. While there, one curious cat unintentionally releases the trailer ties to Gabby’s prized possession, her kitty dollhouse containing her tiny Gabby Cat fiends. Her runaway dollhouse ends up in the possession of an eccentric cat lady, Vera (Kristen Wiig). Vera is the fashionably dressed CEO of the Pretty Glitter Kitty Litter company & an obsessive anything-cat-related collector. Gabby is now on a search & rescue mission to find her lost dollhouse along its Gabby cat inhabitants. Gabby uses her special magical power to shrink herself to miniature size aiding her in the search. One by one, Gabby rescues her tiny friends as well as Vera. This film is targeted towards little girls with affinities to pink & glitter as well as cat lovers. This colorful adventure will take you through a candyland setting with rideable animal cracker & giant gummy worm creatures. This live action film with enhancing CGI fantasy imaginations will tickle the hearts of the very young & the inner child of willing grown ups. I️ have known of this kids show but had never viewed any episodes. The end seems to hint to a possible sequel theme.
Alien gives it 2½ “all join in on the pinch-pinch song” stars out of 4.
