Jumping Ground: Immortality

Jumping Ground: Immortality is a 2021 animated science fiction action film, the second based on the animated television series The Jumping Ground, the first being The Jumping Ground Movie (2016), ultimately serving as both a continuation and conclusion of the main series. A New Zealand-American venture produced by Celluoid Features in association with Mattel Films and Chinese company Tencent Pictures, it was the first film in the series not to be co-distributed by 20th Century Fox (which had been acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2019), leaving Warner Bros. Pictures as the sole distributor. In the film, the surviving members of the Langham Institute student body and Captain Obvious's company attempt to reverse the damage caused by Unicron in the series' climax.
After the financial success of its predecessor, Jared Bush was hired to write a script for a second Jumping Ground film. Shortly after FX announced that the main series would end after its twenty-third season in December 2018, Warner Bros. announced that work had already begun the film, Though the studio negotiated with Disney (via the 20th Century Fox banner) to co-finance the film, it was ultimately decided that Warner Bros. would distribute the film solely, as the franchise is officially their intellectual property, though Disney would later agree to air future Jumping Ground spin-off series on their cable channels and over-the-top video platforms. With an estimated budget of $313 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made, as well as the most expensive animated film ever made.
Having been delayed three times from its original July 2020 release date due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Jumping Ground: Immortality was released theatrically released in the United States on 24 September 2021, in IMAX and 3D.
