Memetchi: The Movie (Japanese: めめっち: 少女市民VS大胆な女王) is a 2016 Japanese animated motion picture released by SF Animation, eOne and Toho. The movie had been throughout tons of development hell since 2012, eventually being completed in 2016.

"MySims: The Movie" cancelled adaption (2012 - 2013)
In around April 2012, production began on Memetchi: The Movie, then what was going to be a computer-generated animated film based off the MySims games entitled "MySims: The Movie". However, just 9 months after production commenced, Electronic Arts rejected the movie as by the time SkyHeroes was released in 2010, EA wanted to take The Sims in a different direction, and that the developers, EA Redwood Shores, was facing bankruptcy, therefore the movie was cancelled at a halt. However, the movie's production would end up being revived in the late 2010s by SF Animation and Paramount Pictures, and finally making a release in 2023.

"Memetchi: A GuruGuru Curls Movie" (2013 - 2015)
In February 2013, after the MySims film adpation was cancelled, the company wanted to find another brand sutiable for the script used before. At the time, SF Animation had just entered a 20 year partnership with Bandai. They then decided on making a spinoff to Tamagotchi: The Movie starring Tamagotchi's main female protagonist Memetchi, as at this time she was well liked by many due to her feminine personality. Pieces of script were recycled from the cancelled MySims movie for the Memetchi movie, but not all of it. This has been criticized by some for "lazy writing", but some say that "good things should never go to waste", and that this is an example of it. This time, Bandai agreed with the idea and the company was relieved. Yui Ishida, the director and producer, came up with most of the ideas for the film (like "Operation Perfect World"). The original name was "Memetchi: A Guruguru Curls Movie" in Japan and internationally, but due to localization issues, the name was internationally named "Memetchi: The Movie", and the Japanese name being "Memetchi: Citizen Girl vs Daring Queen".
