The New Charlie and Lola Movie (also known as Charlie and Lola: Evolution in other countries that aren't the United States and the United Kingdom and in Japan as Charlie and Lola Stupid Movie Version: Charlie V.S. Mr. Hansen (チャーリーとローラ バカ映画版: チャーリー V.S. ハンセンさん)) is a British/American CGI animated action comedy superhero film by Universal Pictures, Tiger Aspect Productions, 1happycats Productions and YouTube Productions. This film is based on the show, which in turn is a spin-off to the real-life pre-school BBC series, Charlie and Lola, in which this film is a huge turning point for that series. This film is also dedicated to the late David Mitton.

Synopsis
The film takes places directly after the end of the series finale, "Happy New Year". When winning a trip to Hammertown, Charlie and Hammering Holly Dolly decide to spend a vacation at Hammertown Hotel. Meanwhile, Lola hates the vacation so much that she briefly tries to escape, but then she meets a rich businessman named Mr. Hansen (the ex-wife of Mrs. Hanson in the TV series), owner of Hansen Industries, who also hates Hammertown and teams up with him to destroy Hammertown and form Lolaland, Lola's own dreamland. To make matters worse, Mr. Hansen managed to make Marv and Lotta his henchmen and brainwash the residents of Hammertown including their own friends. Charlie and Hammering Holly Dolly must traverse many places in Hammertown and stop Mr. Hansen and his army before the clock runs out.

Development
After the TNCALS special, "A Very Merry Christmas!" was released, 1HappyCats Productions (YouTube Productions at the time) announced a second season of the show and more specials such as Valentine's Day, Easter and Halloween. A feature-length movie was also announced to have began development during production of the first season.

In August 2013, Universal Pictures purchased the distribution rights for the film.

In January 2014 when The New Charlie and Lola Show ended, Abby Valenti said "There won't be a third season because there will be something even bigger, and it's gonna change Charlie and Lola forever." In Febuary, Carlos Saldanha (Director of Ice Age: The Meltdown) was announced as the film's director from a screenplay by Cody Cameron and Chris Miller. Britt Alcroft also announced that she will be producing alongside Abby Valenti. In October, the synopsis was revealed and it was announced that Jethro Lundie-Brown and Maisie Cowell will be reprising their roles as the voices as the voices of Charlie Sonner and Lola Sonner respectively.

In July 2015, the rest of the cast joined, and the film's title was revealed as The New Charlie and Lola Movie.

In October of that year, the first teaser trailer was revealed. Harry Gregson-Williams, Mike O'Donnell, and Junior Campbell were also announced as the composers of the film's score.
