The Loud House (2002 TV series)/The Loud House Movie

The Loud House Movie (also commonly known as The Loud Movie) is a 2005 American adult animated musical fantasy adventure action mystery comedy film produced by Williams Street and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is based on the Adult Swim television series, The Loud House. The film stars Seth Green, Sean Astin, Greg Cipes, Rob Paulsen, Adam Devine, Amanda Leighton, Eric Bauza, Grey Griffin, Dee Bradley Baker and Tom Kenny reprising their roles for the series, with Samuel L. Jackson as Maximus Vice, the main antagonist and Seth MacFarlane as Legion Loud, a dangerous hitman cyborg from the future with a mixture of the siblings' personalities.

In the film, Loki, Lenny and the rest of the siblings question their existence after learning that Lynn Sr. and Rita were supposed to have only 2 to 3 kids, not 10 or 11, disown their parents and run away. They're not helped by the fact that someone from their parents' past wants them dead and has recruited the people they annoyed to help him get rid of them, while they learn they've been developing powers since they were exposed to Louis' chemicals that the villain tampered with in a previous attempt to kill them.

Previous offers by Warner Bros. Pictures for a film adaptation of The Loud House had been rejected by Chris Savino, but he eventually accepted one offer in 2003, where the film began production. The film tackles issues of censorship and bad parenting, and parodies the animated films of the Disney Renaissance as well as well-known musicals such as the West End's Les Misérables and satirizes the controversy surrounding the show itself. During production, Savino 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." The film was originally intended as the series finale, but the success of the series led to more episodes, which Savino remained as showrunner until his firing in 2017.
