Woo La La

Woo La La is a 2009 American 3D computer-animated romantic comedy-drama film produced by Geo LTD. Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. Directed by Michael Wildshill and Karey Kirkpatrick, the film features the voices of Josh Hutcherson, Debra Messing, and George Takei. As part of the distribution deal, Woo La La was the first Geo LTD. Animation film to be distributed by Universal Pictures, since the end of their partnership with Sony Pictures. It is also Geo LTD. Animation's first film to be presented in 3D. Originally titled Nippon, the title is a pun on "ooh la la", which means an exclamation of surprise, and "woo", which means to try to gain the love of a woman.

Set in Tokyo, Japan, Woo La La tells the story of Amai Yamada (Hutcherson), a young shy boy whose parents died of illness and was sent to a orphanage. Few years later, he meets an innocent and beautiful girl named Kireina Miyazaki (Messing). The two eventually fall in love, and together they must get away from Warui Kobayashi (Takei), a greedy businessman who dislikes couples.

Woo La La was released in the United States and Canada on March 13, 2009. The film received positive reviews from critics and earned $471 million worldwide on a budget of $164 million. It eventually launched a franchise, with a television series airing in 2012 on Cartoon Network, along with a sequel, Woo La La 2, in production for release on March 2, 2018.
