Object World Forever (alternatively known as Object World FOR*EV*ER) is an American traditionally animated action family-comedy film based on Object World, originally broadcast on CDX. As the first film based on a CDX property, it is also the first theatrically-released object show film in history. In the film, the objects must organize a plan to help expand a city of their own, while Toilet Paper sees this as an opportunity to destroy the objects and overthrow them.
Plans for a movie dated back from before Object World ever aired. Rather than seeking help from Kickstarter, the creators were given additional money to make a film and release it in theaters or through DVD. They chose to release it in theaters, backed with a $50 million advertising campaign. The first teaser aired after an episode the series' second season.
The film was produced by SuperDestroyer3D Entertainment, Puffy Studios, and Oh No Pictures (then an animation studio), and was distributed by CoolDude201672 Studios Ltd., and was released in select theaters on June 21, 2017, before getting a wide release on July 4, 2017. The film went on to make $980 million at the box-office, against a budget of $60 million, as well as winning several awards. It currently has an 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, CDX's highest-rated movie on the site. It is also the highest-grossing animated film distributed by a mini-major. The film's success made CoolDude201672 Studios Ltd. boost itself into a mini-major.
The film spawned the CDX DoodleVerse series of films, while this film spawned five sequels, with the second film released in 2018.
Plot[]
The film begins with Detectory, WB Shield, and THX hanging out outside. Detectory asks WB and THX if they should build a city of their own, in which they all agree. Suddenly, everyone else gets involved to help them. Underground, Toilet Paper is informed about this, and assembles his new minions, Lightning, Devil Egg, and Paper Clip. While Lightning and Devil Egg agree to destroy the objects, Paper Clip denies and fires herself. As she goes outside, she notices Nutty and suddenly falls for him.
Meanwhile, the malfunctioning Phone argues with his evil side, as his evil side escapes from him and starts causing mayhem. Later, Detectory, WB, THX, and Nutty look at the horizon from a cliff. Just as they start to head back, Glitch (Phone's evil self) slices part of the cliff causing all of them to fall. As they fall, Paper Clip stops time and begins to talk with Nutty, as he also begins to fall for her. As time continues, everyone survives until a tiny rock hits Nutty, causing him to split and collapse, killing him. As Paper Clip begins to cry, WB questions if the Recovery Center can revive him, only for it to suddenly explode.
Lightning and Devil Egg begin to start attacking the unfinished city, until they are ambushed by Clock and Arrow. They question both of them on why they are attacking, and are shocked to find out that they are working for Toilet Paper. Glitch then appears and attacks Clock and Arrow, as well as Lightning and Devil Egg. Later, he is trapped by Triangle by using his sorcerer powers, and sends Glitch to the Arctic. Toilet Paper rises from below, but then retreats as he finds out that someone is after him.
Paper Clip then tries to figure out how to revive Nutty, but then a ghostly image of him tells her to be OK while he's dead. He then senses Toilet Paper's presence and confronts him. Later, the city is almost finished, as Toilet Paper and Nutty begin fighting. They stop, and questions why he is hiding underground. Toilet Paper tells him that an entity named Scissors had fought him months ago, before he sent her into a volcano, but also catching him on fire. He then tells Nutty of his motives, to overthrow all objects on Earth so that his kind becomes the most dominant object in the world. As he notices that Scissors is still dormant, he traps Nutty in a prison cell as he escapes to the outside, unaware that Nutty is a ghost.
Toilet Paper arrives and begins to attack, with Lightning and Devil Egg at his side, while Detectory, WB, THX, Clock, and Arrow fight back. Clock notices that Toilet Paper's eyes start to glow red. They manage to defeat him, as the ground below him drags him in. Suddenly, large flames that make up his shape show up and then burn the entire city, destroying it in the process. The ground shakes, and Toilet Paper, now 50 feet tall, emerges. He then fires Lightning and Devil Egg and attacks them, as they fight back. As Bacon questions if anything can't get worse, the volcano from Toilet Paper's story erupts, and from it emerges Scissors. She then starts attacking everyone, but mostly the now, giant Toilet Paper. Glitch then arrives, and forgives Phone by turning him into a blue clone to fight off Toilet Paper.
Everyone tries their best to fight, but Toilet Paper uses his powers to attack everyone, and temporally disables Lightning, Devil Egg, and Scissors. Nutty arrives, then brutally attacks Toilet Paper, shrinks him, then send him and himself to the Earth's Core, imprisoning Toilet Paper and sealing himself. As everyone worries for their city's future, Nutty, now back to normal, arrives. As Paper Clip runs up to him, they both confess their love for each other and share a kiss. As Clock questions on how they fix the city, Detectory's son, Detectory Jr. uses his still under-developed powers to rebuild the city in seconds. Lightning, Devil Egg, and Scissors get up, and make up with everyone. As Lightning flies through the clouds, as well as Devil Egg going back underground, and Scissors going back to the volcano, the objects finish building their city, and decide to name it Object City.
In a mid-credits scene, we see a tree that contains several pinecones. They come to life, and notice Pinecone, as they start to run and go after him.
