Magic Tree House (film)

Magic Tree House (also known as The Magic Tree House Movie in other countries) is a 2018 American computer-animated adventure film directed by Matthew O'Callaghan, alongside Bear Bones Productions founder Mala Miles in her directorial debut. Based on the book series of the same name by Mary Pope Osbourne, it was the third and final co-production between Walt Disney Wonder Studios and Bear Bones. The film features the voices of Owen Laramore, Lulu Wilson, Danny DeVito, Dick van Dyke, Sandra Oh, Masi Oka, BD Wong, and Cedric the Entertainer. Composer Alan Menken, who had worked on prior Disney films, composed the score for Magic Tree House.

The film was released theatrically in the United States on July 15, 2018. Despite receiving generally positive reviews from critics, who commended it for its humor, animation, plot, screenplay, voice performances, and musical score, Magic Tree House underperformed at the box-office, prompting Disney to end their partnership with Bear Bones.
