On August 4, the film's title, **Baby Shark's Big Movie!**, and the plot were revealed, along with a holiday 2023 release.

## Reception

**Emily Ashby**, a reviewer for **Common Sense Media**, gave the show a 2 (out of 5) star rating. She wrote that "**Pinkfong's franchise name carries this show only so far and the lackluster writing and plot can't quite compensate for the rest.**"

## Trivia

* This is the second television series by **Pinkfong**, the first being **Pinkfong WonderStar**.
* In "**Baby Tooth**", Baby Shark is called by his real name, **Brooklyn**. His name is based on the **New York City** borough.
* The episode "**Jelly Pox**" was banned from airing in the U.S, as well as on the **Nick Jr.** website, due to its relations to the COVID-19 pandemic, although snippets of the episode were seen on the **Nick Jr. YouTube** channel and on **Paramount+**. Despite its banning, it remained on the South Korean broadcast.
