Bob the Builder: The Movie

"Can they finish their biggest challenge ever? Yes they can!"

- Tagline

Bob the Builder: The Movie is an upcoming 2022 American/British/Canadian stop-motion animated film directed by Nicholas Stoller and Geoff Walker, produced by CHF Entertainment and Gigglefish Animation Studios in association with Mattel Films, Point Grey Pictures, WildBrain, and distributed by Universal Pictures in the United States and by Paramount Pictures internationally. The film takes place sometime after the events of Race to the Finish and serves as the first and only theatrical feature-length Bob the Builder film in the franchise. It also serves as the canonical series finale to the original 1998 series (meaning the second spin-off series, Ready, Steady, Build!, is non-canon to the continuity this film takes place in). It will be released in theaters on August 19th, 2022.

Summary
Bob and his team have been working on their big Sunflower Valley project for many months. But one day, as part of their project, Bob and his team have been assigned by Mr. Bentley to build a big eco-friendly hotel made out of recycled materials in Sunflower Valley. This project is so big that not only are they given more time than they normally would, but they also enlist the help of a new digger machine named Scratch as well as new and old friends. While building the hotel, Lofty tries to make his own adjustments to it, but soon becomes stranded from the team in a huge cave and meets a bunch of machines that are also stranded from their owner. With Lofty missing, and not a lot of time left (but still more than enough time to get the hotel done), can they solve the mystery of the caves, rescue Lofty and the Stranded Machines before they get lost in the caves forever, and still get the eco-friendly hotel done on time?

Plot
The movie begins with Bob and his team getting ready for their busy day, as usual, doing their usual jobs. As they are working, the team wonders what job they would be doing next. Meanwhile, at the Trump Tower in New York City, a hotel architect presents his idea for an eco-friendly hotel to the chairman of the Trump Organization and contacts Mr. Bentley about it.
