Jeremy Monroe: The Biggest Movie Ever

Jose Maldonado: The Biggest Movie Ever is a 2003 American animated musical comedy film based on the Fox animated television series ''Jose Maldonado. ''Produced by Maldonado Studios as its first feature-length film, it was written, produced and directed by series creator Jake Maldonado, co-directed by Mike Minchin, co-produced by Tim Blackburn and Mark Wilson, and co-written by Kate Boutilier, Jon Vitti, Steve Rowland, Tim Conner, Dan Irwin, Nancy Carter, and Larry Lee. The film stars the regular television cast of Tom Kenny, Tara Strong, Billy West, Hank Azaria, Kelsey Grammer, Catherine Cavadini, Carlos Alazraqui, and Rob Paulsen, with guest appearances by Dave Foley, Mike Myers, Minnie Driver, Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Ewan McGregor, and John Goodman.

The events of the film take place during the seventh season of Jose Maldonado. The film was originally intended as the series finale, but Fox ordered more episodes of the series as it had become increasingly profitable, as Jake Maldonado resigned as showrunner with Tim Blackburn taking his place.

Jose Maldonado: The Biggest Movie Ever premiered at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles on July 7, 2003 and was released in the United States by 20th Century Fox on July 18, 2003. Jose Maldonado: The Biggest Movie Ever saw a re-release in theaters on October 26, 2012 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. It received universal acclaim from critics and was a box office success, grossing over $343 million on its $50 million budget, making it the fifth highest grossing film based on an animated television series. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the 76th Academy Awards, but lost to Finding Nemo and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, respectively, and, through home video releases and television syndication, gathered a cult following. A sequel was released on July 10, 2020.
