Huggy is a 2025 American psychological horror film directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan and produced by her father M. Night from a screenplay by him and David Fincher based on the Poppy Playtime character Huggy Wuggy and inspired by Mob Entertainment's YouTube video RESTRICTED_disappearance_06-18-1992.mp4. Distributed by Lionsgate and co-financed by Mob Entertainment, it is the first installment in the Huggy Wuggy trilogy and serves as an alternate story for the title character. Dove Cameron stars as Casey Wilson, the film's only main protagonist, an employee for the Playtime Company whose father Howard (Vince Vaughn) is a patient of the medical staff within the company's facility as she must take matters into her own hands when he is eventually forced out of their hands by Elliott Ludwig (Malcolm McDowell) and turned into the blue giant furry slender creature Huggy Wuggy. The supporting cast includes Rachel Weisz, Danny Glover, and Matthew Lillard. Huggy was released in theaters on October 24th, 2025; the film received generally positive reviews from critics, audiences, and fans, with praise for Shyamalan's direction and her father's screenplay, Huggy's characterization, score, VFX, atmosphere, and Cameron's performance. However, critics were divided on the violent approach to the source character and the decision to add an R-rating. It was also a box-office success, grossing $915 million worldwide against a break-even point of $120 million. A sequel is in development.
