Zita the Spacegirl (film)

Zita the Spacegirl is a 2024 American computer-animated science fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Jeff Rowe from a screenplay by Morgan Jurgenson and Alex Ankeles. It is based on the graphic novel trilogy of the same name by Ben Hatke. It follows the titular heroine, who has to save the Earth from an impending disaster by an alien crime organization.

In September 2016, it was announced that 20th Century Animation (then 20th Century Fox Animation) had acquired the rights to produce an animated film based on the series, with Peter Chernin to produce the project. However, the film was later abandoned by the company until independent company New Eden Pictures acquired the project in March 2022, with Mikros Image handling animation and Amazon MGM Studios acquiring distribution rights.

Zita the Spacegirl held its world premiere at the Annency International Animation Film Festival on June 13, 2024, and had a limited theatrical release in the United States on June 21, 2024 before it was released on Amazon Prime Video on June 28, 2024. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised its animation, humor, voice acting, and faithfulness to the series, but received criticism for its runtime.
