Maria and her younger brother Charlie find themselves magically transported to the fantastical world of Playmobil. While there, they encounter robots, Vikings, knights, pirates and other colorfully amusing characters. But when Charlie winds up in the clutches of an evil emperor, Maria joins forces with a bumbling secret agent and an adventurous truck driver to rescue her beloved sibling.

Critics Consensus

Much like the toys it advertises, Playmobil: The Movie seems sadly destined to be regarded as a superficially similar yet less desirable alternative to the competition.

3/5

There is a gentleness and simplicity to the adventure-seeking vibe of Playmobil: The Movie that will work particularly well for very young audiences.

This is a vastly inferior toy-to-film IP expansion, with duller songs, dumber jokes, and forgettable voice work.

There's a plot in there somewhere, but most of the time it's subsumed by a frenetic attempt to showcase the whole Playmobil range in an extended kinetic eruption of primal sound and primary colour.

Even when you remove the comparisons to The Lego Movie, it’s a redundant tale with little artistic difference to dozens of other films like it. At best the film is a 90 minute distraction, and at worst it’s a cynical marketing ploy.

Filmmakers are working its way down to the very bottom of the toy box with Playmobil: The Movie.

"...great adventures and a heartwarming sibling relationship, it is unable to offer anything past what others have been able to achieve before it."

Maybe I am easy to please. Sure, this box office bomb with terrible reviews by critics is not the original Lego movie. But it follows that idea and this time throws Playmobil characters into all sorts of situations in various worlds, or mixes thereof. The film is entertaining with good voice acting and without major flaws in the story: a good way to get your kiddos interested in Playmobil, if you so desire. BTW, the movie has Anya Taylor-Joy in it, not only as a voice.

It was ok I wouldn’t waste money to watch it at the movies though wait until it’s out on DVD or rent to stream. My husband fell asleep 4 times through it during the movie not a good thing.
