Daniel's Big Return

Daniel's Big Return is a 2018 traditional-animated/computer-animated comedy film based on the long-running Fox series The Bad Life of Daniel.

Following the success of Hey Daniel, Where is Mom?!, Gary Goldman and the rest of the crew from the series decided to take a break from the theatrical films and instead focus on the series while creating new episodes instead. Attempts of making a sequel were conceived in the early 2000's but were cancelled due to Fox instead focusing on their other IP's. Eventually in the early 2010's, it was announced that another Daniel film would be made but in 3D with more different animation. Kevin Lima, who is the director of this film, made sure that the film kept up with the newer times like the series did.

Daniel's Big Return premiered in Los Angeles on TBA 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on August 24, 2018 in Digital 3D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX, IMAX 3D, and 4DX formats. The film received largely positive reviews from critics, with praise for its animation, humor, writing, and musical score.
