The Loud House Movie

The Loud House Movie (also commonly known as The Loud Movie) is an American hand-drawn animated feature film produced by Nickelodeon Movies, and was distributed by Paramount Pictures. It was released on August 13, 2019 and will go on DVD on December 7, 2019. It is based on the Nickelodeon television series of the same name, and was directed by show creator, Chris Savino. The film starred the series cast of Collin Dean, Grey Griffin, Catherine Taber, Liliana Mumy, Jessica DiCicco, Cristina Pucelli, Nika Futterman and Lara Jill Miller, with guest performances by Brad Garrett, Randy Quaid and Michael Caine.

Summary
The film, much like the show, revolves around the life of a boy named Lincoln Loud, who survives in a large family of eleven children.

Production
Production started when Nickelodeon and Paramount approached to Savino for a film based on the series. and Savino was at first, against the idea of producing a film for the show. However, later he stated, "I love these characters, and when I do this, I feel like the Loud family is part of my very own. When coming up with ideas to produce this film, I didn't want this to be a big adventure film with the Louds, but wanted this to be more about what the show was all about, and expand on the situations and past involved with these characters. I wanted to produce the film this way to show that this house of siblings was more than just stereotypes."

There were three plots written for the movie, but the first two were turned down by Savino. It was originaly going to be a prequel to the show about how Mr. and Mrs. Loud met and fell in love. Savino turned down the idea because he felt it would take away from the main characters' story and be too boring for children. The second plot involved Lincoln running away from home because of an argument he and his sisters got into, and the sisters had to track him down. But, it was scrapped due to the plot sounding like the SpongeBob episode "Whatever Happened to SpongeBob?", and also because Savino wanted the plot to be more focused on the relationship between Lincoln and each of his sisters, which was eventually used as the final plot for the film.

Originally, Leni was going to commit suicide in the film instead of just simply running away from home. Savino was strongly against the idea, saying it was too inappropriate for young viewers, and could possibly get the film banned. Savino changed to where Leni instead wants to leave the family, and was eventually approved.

The first trailer was shown at the 2018 New Year's Eve party at Nickelodeon studios Orlando.

Plot
Lincoln Loud is a 12 year old boy who lives in a house with ten sisters, who briefly explains each of his sisters, and their different personality traits. He describes himself as the only boy sibling in the family, but feels that he sticks out the most. Lincoln is about to start his first day at Middle School in 6th grade, which is also the same school his older sister Lynn goes to. He spends most of the day hanging out with his best friend Clyde, his other best friend/girlfriend Ronnie Anne, and many of his friends from 5th grade.

However, things turn out badly when Lincoln starts getting picked on by kids older than him. This happens again during their sports practice, which causes Lynn to repeatedly injure the other kids with her sports skills. While she is sent to detention, many of the other kids admire her skills, which makes Lincoln feel like he's mostly unappreciated, except from his friends.

Back at home, Lincoln tries to play his video games with each of his sisters, but all are uninterested and would rather do their own thing. He then decides to find out if there's anything special about him that would stick out from the rest of the family. Unfortunately, nothing apparently sticks out, and his tasks end up accidentally causing the house to nearly catch fire, sending the entire family into panic. While his parents forgive him for his accident, Lincoln's sisters end up frustrated with him, saying that some of their favorite equipment was burned, including Lori's special perfume, Leni's favorite clothes, Lucy's poems, Luna's music gear, etc. It gets to the point where they admit that nothing Lincoln does is special for himself or the family, and that the family wouldn't be the same if it was just ten sisters, but their rage only makes them believe that they made a point. Lincoln, feeling both guilty and heartbroken, goes to bed early, feeling as though it's mostly a struggle around his sisters.

The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Loud take the family out for a road trip to a picnic, but during the road trip, the siblings still argue about what happened last night. Once they arrive near the woods for their picnic, Lincoln goes on a walk through the woods, but cheers up a little bit when he gets a good view of his city. However, a wild storm picks up, and the family van leaves in a hurry, with Lincoln failing to reach it in time. The storm continues to blow through, which eventually causes Lincoln to get badly injured, and unconscious as he rolls near his neighborhood, but Fearless Freddy (Randy Quaid) try to kill the Loud Family.

Hours later, Lincoln wakes up in the hospital, with his family all surrounding him. When Lincoln reveals what happened, and how he reacted to what his sisters said, and how they were in a rush to avoid the storm that left him behind, including all the times his sisters made fun of him, laughed at him, and got him into trouble, he runs away from the hospital, feeling more unwanted and making his sisters feel extremely guilty for what they said.

While in the rain, Lincoln gets the idea to stay at Clyde's house for a few days before he feels confident going home again, but sees Fearless Freddy about to rob his family's house. Remembering the skills he tried to learn, Lincoln manages to get Freddy trapped, and later arrested by the police.

When the family make it back home, they all realize what had happened. The sisters all each apologize to Lincoln, saying that his different interests is what makes him special, and that it feels special to be the only brother of the family. The family all have a group hug, and even Lily says her first word (Lincoln). In the end, Lincoln enjoys most of his time at home and getting through Middle School a lot easier than before, with help from his family and friends. Each day, he feels good to be home, and spend his quality time with the sisters that he loves.
