Poppy Playtime is a 2025 American psychological horror film based on the video game of the same name developed by Mob Entertainment. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Films and The Stone Quarry, it is the first of a three-part adaptation to the game, primarily covering the first two chapters. Directed by Jodie Foster from a screenplay by M. Night Shyamalan and Gore Verbinski, the film stars Piper Rubio as the title character, alongside Emma Roberts, Jeffrey Wright, Tika Sumpter, Andy Serkis, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Hemsworth as Huggy Wuggy, and Jennifer Tilly as Mommy Long Legs. In the film, a former employee of the Playtime Company befriends Poppy Playtime, its titular mascot, and they both go into conflict with the now-hostile creatures living within the company's facility, which has been abandoned for seven years. Released as a Netflix film, Poppy Playtime opened in theaters on December 2nd, 2025; it received generally positive reviews with critics and audiences praising its atmosphere, direction, visual effects, jumpscares, Hans Zimmer's musical score, themes, cinematography, Rubio's performance and the faithfulness to the source material, but critics found the dialogue and Huggy Wuggy's screentime lacking. It was also a box-office success, grossing $813 million worldwide. A sequel entitled Poppy Playtime II: Playcare was released just a year later.
