The global family entertainment company The Pinkfong Company announced on April 27 that it has confirmed the Japanese theatrical release of ‘Bebefinn the Movie: The Missing Bebefinn and the Pinkfong Adventure’ (hereinafter ‘Bebefinn the Movie’).
‘Bebefinn the Movie’ will be released on September 4, meeting audiences in around 100 theaters across Japan. KADOKAWA, Japan’s largest comprehensive entertainment company, will handle local distribution.
Based on the Pinkfong Universe, ‘Bebefinn the Movie’ is an animation featuring a full lineup of popular characters from The Pinkfong Company and is characterized by its integration of audience-participatory interactive elements. It was first released in Korea last July, achieving box office success by surpassing 220,000 cumulative viewers and ranking in the Top 10 for two consecutive weeks. It was subsequently released in 11 countries worldwide, including the UK, Australia, and Taiwan.
In addition, the ‘Bebefinn Mother Goose Pad’ simultaneously topped both the ‘Music Toys’ and ‘Piano & Keyboard Instruments’ categories on Amazon Japan last December. The company is also expanding its IP’s influence, such as by opening a pop-up store at the Osaka Namba Marui Department Store this past February.
Meanwhile, from April 17 to May 10, The Pinkfong Company is collaborating with ‘Tsutaya Books’, Japan’s largest bookstore chain, to operate Pinkfong pop-up stores at its Ebisu branch in Tokyo and Kawasaki branch in Kanagawa Prefecture. The stores will feature a variety of books and toys, including the Pinkfong sound book, which surpassed 130,000 cumulative sales within six months of its release. The company is also scheduled to participate in ‘Licensing Japan 2026’, Japan’s largest licensing exhibition, for the fourth consecutive year from June 17 to 19.
