Drawn to the Movies

Drawn to the Movies is an adult animated black comedy film that takes place after the events of Drawn to Murder, released theatrically in Canada on August 28th, 2020 (changed from April 23rd, which would have coincided with the first release anniversary of the game, due to growing COVID-19 concerns in the country), limited to late-night showings at select Cineplex theatres in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, and St. John's, and on VOD on September 1, followed by DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray on November 3, of the same year. It follows Dugs Lepus and friends as they travel to Vancouver to thwart lead villain Auguste Abouteman's evil plan to do a movie starring some of the game's characters, and then screen it for kids all over Canada. The movie has been rated 18A in Canada for explicit gory violence and frequent coarse language.
On its first release-day showing at the reopened Cineplex Odeon International Village cinema in Vancouver, Abouteman's voice actor, Jim Carrey, arrived at the auditorium at which the movie was showing to present it. The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who praised the animation and Carrey's vocal performance, but criticized it for overvaluing dark humor over plot or tone, as well as its screenplay and unnecessary mishandling of current events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
