Unipuppy: Aftermath

Unipuppy: Aftermath is an animated epic science fiction action-adventure horror-thriller drama film directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who co-wrote and co-produced the film with Dodge Greenley. It serves as a sequel to Unipuppy: Apocalypse, and is loosely based off the 2021 short film Come and Learn with Pibby!, which was initially pitched to Adult Swim, before being rejected by Warner Bros. Discovery. The film revolves around Unipuppy and multiple other cartoon characters, who are among the only survivors from the events of the previous film, battling a race of AI-generated cartoon characters, who were created by an unknown entity responsible for the "Glitch", to replace those who were contaminated by the "Glitch".
The film began development immediately after the release of Unipuppy: Apocalypse, with much of that film's staff working on the sequel. Like its predecessor, it is considered one of the biggest crossover films ever made.
Unipuppy: Aftermath was theatrically released in the United States on May 1, 2030, by Warner Bros. Pictures and Uniworld Pictures. Like its predecessor, the film received critical acclaim and was a box office success, grossing $823 million and making it more financially successful than its predecessor. It became the fourth highest-grossing film of 2030, and highest-grossing animated film for that year.
==Synopsis==
Unipuppy and his group of friends, after surviving the "Glitch", expand their army as they explore more universes. However, the entity responsible for the "Glitch", has created a new army of AI-generated cartoon characters, to replace those contaminated by the "Glitch".
