Untitled Niz Chicoloco film

The untitled animated film based on the Niz Chicoloco series is an upcoming American 3D computer-animated film produced by DreamWorks Animation, in co-production with Gingo Animation, and distributed by Universal Pictures. It is scheduled to be released on September 23, 2022.

Production
In 2003, DreamWorks and Gingo were producing a theatrical Niz Chicoloco animated film, in association with Universal Pictures. The film was to be animated much like the series as well as previous Gingo fare such as The Gabriel Garza Movie and The TeenV Movie, but was scrapped due to management changes at DreamWorks and Gingo although the script was already written. In 2013, creator Geo G. stated that, if DreamWorks asked Gingo to, he would be more than happy to bring Niz Chicoloco back, as well as Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. In July 2016, nearing NBCUniversal's acquisition of DreamWorks Animation, it was reported that DreamWorks was in talks with Gingo and Universal Animation Studios CEO Michael Wildshill about a possible way of bringing Niz Chicoloco and Sinbad back.

In April 2017, IGN reported that a new Niz Chicoloco film was in development at DreamWorks Animation and Gingo alongside a HD remake of the original 1997 game and a reboot television series for Netflix. The film will be directed by Samuel Merritt from a screenplay by David H. Steinberg with Lisa Stewart and Scott Setterberg producing. Geo will serve as the executive producer of the film. On March 23, 2019, it was announced that the film would be released on September 23, 2022.

Release
The film is currently scheduled to be released on September 23, 2022, by Universal Pictures.
