22 October 2026 in Spanish cinemas premiered “Superthings: La película” — a feature-length animated comedy based on the popular toy series and TV show.
The film tells the story of three sixth-grade friends — Mia, Kai and Finn — who accidentally discover a fragment of a mysterious substance called Kazum. It is the merging of their grey, ordinary Normalpolis with the vivid world of Kaboom City, where everyday objects have turned into superheroes and villains.
The children become the Kazum Kids and must stop the main antagonist — Mr. King, who dreams of seizing power and turning the heroes back into ordinary things.
The director is Víctor Monigote, known for “La gallina Turuleca”. The screenplay was written by Carlos Bleicher, Beatriz Iso, Eva Pérez Misa and Diego López Álvarez. The voice cast includes Bryce Efe and Ana Morgade in special roles, as well as Núria Trifol and others.
The producers were Carlos Fernández, Pablo E. Bossi, Cristina Zumárraga and other companies, including Filmax. The film was released in approximately 300 copies and is positioned as family entertainment for fans of the franchise.
The world of the film is an explosion of colour and imagination: ordinary oranges, pencils and coins acquire superpowers and fight in dynamic scenes. The atmosphere is light, full of humour and adventure, without heavy themes.
The central tension is the friendship of the three children, who learn to trust one another and work as a team to save both worlds from the villain.
Watching the film is like watching an extended, vivid episode of the animated series: a fast pace, visual gags and energetic music keep your attention. A perfectly watchable film for younger children.
One specific detail is Mr. King’s musical number, which adds comic charm and is memorable for its absurdity.
The film is important as an example of a successful Spanish animated franchise that has grown from toys to the big screen and is capable of competing with international projects.
The film understands its audience perfectly — children who collect the figures — and gives them exactly what they expect: colour, action and the message “together we are stronger”.
For adults, the story may seem simple and predictable, but that is precisely its strength: it does not try to be deeper than it needs to be.
The release began at the height of the family premiere season, and the distributor Filmax is counting on success thanks to a huge fan base — more than 150 million toys sold worldwide.
In the coming weeks it will become clear whether “Superthings” will become a new Spanish animated hit or remain a niche project for young viewers. But our rating is positive: 7.5/10
