Greeny Phatom: The Movie (originally known in development as Chalkzone meets Greeny Phatom) is a 2002 American-Canadian animated comedy film based on the animated television series, Greeny Phatom, created by Robert W. Stainton. The film was directed by Robert W. Stainton. It was produced by 20th Century Fox, GreenyWorld Studios, and Sony Wonder in association with Sesame Workshop and CINAR (later known as Cookie Jar, now DHX Media). The film was distributed by 20th Century Fox in the United States, and Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios internationally under United International Pictures. It was the first Fox film in a while (after Titan A.E.) to be traditionally animated.

The film centers around how Dr. Beanson takes a toy he wants from Toys "R" Us without paying for it. Little Guy and Little Guy 2 try to take the toy away from him so he can get prosecuted, while Dr. Beanson tries to stop them and restore his reputation.

The film was released in theaters on July 21, 2002, and on home video on November 12, 2002. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the humor, story, animation, voice acting, and characters, and went on to gross $729 million worldwide against a modest $75 million budget, making it a critical and financial success. A sequel, titled Greeny Phatom: The Movie 2, was released on August 23, 2013. On April 10, 2020, a recut, entitled Greeny Phatom The Movie: Recut was uploaded by OctoYoshi. It cut scenes that padded out the runtime and added a few things. It can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB7tM-DQO3M

This is also the only time Gree Guy appears in a movie as he was immolated in 2001, up until The Greeny Phatom Show and Greeny Phatom: The Movie 3.

There exists a demo VHS release. Only one copy was ever created, and Will M has it.

The widescreen edition was part of the Windows XP Greeny Phatom Edition during the Christmas season of 2002.

It was re-released in 2006 on DVD and VHS by Media Blasters' Kitty Media division, which usually specializes in adult anime and pornographic films (there's a reason the 2006 copies were normally found in the Anime sections of video stores). Media Blasters picked the movie up on the cheap because 20th Century Fox and Sony Wonder were trying very hard to wash their hands of the franchise, and likely used the Kitty Media brand to disown the movie. The VHS copies came packaged with the Greeny Phatom Sampler VHS.

In 2015, the movie was re-released as part of the 20th Greeny Years DVD pack.

IMAX release[]

On April 4, 2003, Greeny Phatom The Movie was eventually given an IMAX release. This release adds a new intro scene with Little Guy, and three deleted scenes were reinstated and eventually animated by the people from the GreenyWorld Studios' Chicago unit.

A 3D re-release for the film was released in theaters on June 16, 2013.

Release party[]

A release party for the film occurred on July 22, 2002, at the Midway Armory in Chicago, a facility of the Illinois National Guard. The party was telecast on Fox stations nationwide, pre-empting the usual Monday night lineup. The party featured performances by Eddy Grant, Devo, Kraftwerk, the Hollywood Studio Orchestra, The B-52's, the Insane Clown Posse, AxCx, and Mark Kalfa.

The party spawned lip-syncing rumors, such as when AxCx began performing "Stayin' Alive", Seth Putnam stopped lip syncing upon the track skipping and then exited the stage in a dash.
