One Loud Life

One Loud Life is a 2D-animated, comedy-drama film produced by Nickelodeon Movies and distributed by Paramount Animation. Based off the hit animated television show, The Loud House created by Chris Savino. Unlike the show, the film brings in a much darker and tear jerking tone to it than the show does. The film was released in July of 2026. Ten years after the show was released on Nickelodeon.

Premise
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the Earth and put people on it. Families were a huge part of his creation. And now, one of those families are in trouble. This family is called "Loud".

The only boy in the family, Lincoln wonders why he's the only boy in a family of ten sisters, as his first four sisters, Lori, Leni, Luna and Luan are each going through a puberty crisis, giving him a multi-tasking situation to put up with for a temporary amount of time, pushing him too far off the edge and causing him to run away to the Big City. He's not helped by the fact that a person from their parents' past wants him and his parents Lynn Sr. and Rita dead.

Plot
In the beginning of the movie, a set of twins is born into the human race. This set appears to be the second set of twins, this takes place in 1993, their parents are Lynn Sr. and Rita Loud, the babies names are Raymond and Redmond (first set) and Ronald and Reghold (second set). In 1998, we see these parents at a place called Bangers & Mosh, where their two sets of twins are now five years old and have just started school, and Rita is now pregnant with a new baby. They talk about what type of jobs Lynn might get, until the waiter comes with their food.Later we cut back to Louis' house, the current home of the Loud Family. Louis Loud is the father of Lynn. They have a chat about the future, since he has given Lynn, his Vanzilla, he wants him to take care of the house. But Lynn is worried about him. Louis tells him that he shouldn't worry about him and that he'll decide where to go until he decides.

Outside the house, a man the same age as Lynn is seen smashing windows with a hammer. Lynn sees this and he and Rita run outside to stop him. This fight lasts for a good few minutes as Lynn fights him while Rita runs away with the kids. But they are too late, as a tragedy befalls them entirely. Three of their family members have died. Louis, Ray and Ron are the ones who died, while the remaining two are Red and Reg.

One year later in 1999, Rita gives birth to their next child, a girl. Who they name, Lori. That same night Rita gives her phone to her, which makes her stop crying. She then sees a playphone beside her, and Lynn who is charmed a little bit by this, decides to take a photo of her with the phone. Several years later, we cut to Lincoln Loud and two narrators introduce him to the audience.

He introduces his sisters. The last one he gets to is Lori Loud. Who is back at home for Spring Break, with her boyfriend. Bobby Santiago. They have a little bit of a chat before Lori heads into the kitchen with him. Lincoln gets on the couch and turns on the TV. His sisters show up when they hear the click of the button. The news give the information that school is closing due to St. Patrick's Day is happening on Friday. The sisters cheer, but Lincoln doesn't seem to care that much and lets his sisters know it. Lucy then tells them that she saw something in her cards. Something evil and frightening that they will have to cope with they encounter it. Lincoln doesn't really believe this saying that they're just made up to scare the ever loving pants off of people who fall for that.

Production
On March 28, 2017, Paramount's motion picture president Marc Evans announced a movie based on the series set for release on February 7, 2020. The show's creator Chris Savino declined this multiple times, when asked about this.

One month before Chris was fired for sexual harassment claims in 2017, the actress Catherine Taber came to him and told him about an idea for 90 minute movie based off of the show. He politely but firmly declined the idea multiple times, when other people at Nickelodeon asked him if there would be a movie based off the show.

He stated to Catherine:

"I love these characters, and when I create episodes for the show, I feel like the Loud family is part of my very own, but even if I were to make a 90 minute movie out of my characters and show. The three questions I'd ask myself would be "What would make the movie special and unique? "What would push itself off the ground?" and "How do you turn a television related to a Sunday Funny into a 80 minute format? " To do a movie about them doing the same things they do everyday would be a horrible mistake, and I'd never forgive myself for that."

When Savino was fired, Kyle Marshall continued the show, while developing the spin off show Los Casagrandes with Mike Rubiner. Kyle got a call from Cyma Zarghami, President, Nickelodeon Group. Asking if he wanted to develop a movie based off The Loud House. Kyle denied this, but after a chat with Mike. They decided to go with it.

The film went through several drafts and ideas, one idea involved Lincoln and his sisters running away from home after finding out that Lynn Sr. and Rita were going to have 2-3 children instead of 11, feeling suicidal about the whole situation. Kyle didn't really like this one saying that "It's not like finding something much bigger than a life story, and it seems like a rip-off of another movie....I think.".

Another idea involved Lori finally moving into college, meeting her long lost cousin and finding out that they have the same type of family but with genders swapped. Mike and Kyle didn't really feel the need to develop this further because at the last second of writing the script, Kyle got scared about it being an animated Threeway of Cheaper By The Dozen, Meet the Parents and Greece.

The two decided to leave the project alone for a good amount of years, until 2023, when the show was at it's sixth season. Mike decided to bring it back because once the show had reached the sixth season, he had a fear that it might actually "jump the shark". He stated:

"When I was hired as story editor for the show by Chris Savino, I never really expected that the show would be this successful. But to me, although kids like it, as well as parents. I think that it's time that the show closed the book forever. Sometimes you have to move on in life and be as successful as your idle was."

So therefore he and Kyle went back to the project, with the help of Amanda Rynda. After watching Finding Nemo, they decided that the one thing to put in the movie would be a deep origin story.
