Smallfoot is a 2018 American 3D computer-animated musical adventure film produced by the Warner Animation Group. Based on the book Yeti Tracks by Sergio Pablos, the film was co-written and directed by Karey Kirkpatrick, and stars the voices of Channing Tatum, James Corden, Zendaya, Common, LeBron James, Gina Rodriguez, Danny DeVito, Yara Shahidi, Ely Henry, and Jimmy Tatro. The plot follows a group of Yeti who come across a human, with each species thinking the other was just a myth.
Smallfoot was theatrically released in the United States on September 28, 2018, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It received a moderately positive reception from critics and has grossed over $209 million worldwide.
Writers Glenn Ficarra and John Requa conceived of Smallfoot, interested in a story about Yeti or Bigfoot; they drew inspiration from the book Yeti Tracks by Sergio Pablos.
The music for the film was composed by Heitor Pereira. The songs were written by Karey Kirkpatrick and his brother,Wayne.
The songs include “Perfection” by Channing Tatum, “Wonderful Life” by Zendaya, “Percy’s Pressure” by James Corden (music from the song “Under Pressure“, additional lyrics by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick), “Wonderful Questions” by Tatum & Zendaya, “Let It Lie” by Common, “Moment of Truth” by CYN, and “Finally Free” by Niall Horan.
As of November 20, 2018, Smallfoot has grossed $81.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $127.8 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $209.3 million.
In the United States and Canada, Smallfoot was released alongside Night School, Little Women and Hell Fest, and was projected to gross $25–30 million from 4,131 theaters in its opening weekend. The film made $6.5 million on its first day, including $850,000 from Thursday night previews, more than the Warner Animation Group’s previous September release Storks ($435,000 in 2016).
