Fraggle Rock: The Movie

Fraggle Rock: The Movie is a 2020 adventure comedy film directed by Cory Edwards. It was produced by Lionsgate Films in association with The Jim Henson Company. It was released on November 30th, 2020.

The plot centers around Jake Crystal (nephew of the late Jerome "Doc" Crystal), a cynical, solitary, "manly" college student who hasn't had a proper family since he was just months old, and despite his small circle of best friends (sensitive guy Nate Shimmelfinney, tomboyish Charlotte "Charlie" Stevenson and feminine Lola Juhl) and Doc's dog Sprocket, Jake nonetheless feels alone and depressed, with no one he thinks he can trust. Red Fraggle, from Fraggle Rock (one of Nate's favorite childhood shows), escapes from the hole in the wall of one of his classrooms and enters "outer space" (what Fraggles call the human world), and offers to be Jake's housemate and "sister", out of sympathy for his loneliness (a similar situation happens with Nate when Mokey, another Fraggle from the show, explores "outer space" as well). Jake soon learns that years ago, his father was murdered by a mentally unhinged man named Derek Frith, who is now the chairman of the most powerful business empire in the world, and plans on obtaining Bubonium, a supernatural diamond with the power to recreate the Black Death, in order to get revenge on the people of New York (and the rest of the United States) for bullying him in his youth. When the other three main Fraggles (Wembley, Gobo, and Boober) join the mix, it's a race against time to stop Mr. Frith from getting the diamond. Along the way, Jake learns that even your friends can be your family.
