'''''The Casagrandes Movie''''' is an animated film based on the [[Nicktoon]] ''[[The Casagrandes]]'', released on [[Netflix]] on [[March 22]], [[2024]].

==Plot==
[[Ronnie Anne Santiago|Ronnie Anne]] is celebrating her twelfth birthday. She intends to celebrate her "Summer of 12" at Xtreme Eddie's with her best friend, [[Sid Chang]], but her family surprises her with a trip to Japunda, Mexico, much to her dismay. In Mexico, Ronnie Anne takes interest to a necklace that a shopkeeper claims to hold the last connection between humans and gods, but [[Maria Santiago|Maria]] dismisses it as a hoax. However, Ronnie Anne buys the necklace behind her mother's back.

The family head to Mama Lupe's house, where Ronnie Anne points out a nearby mountain that resembles a half-pipe. [[Carlos Casagrande|Carlos]] tells her that the mountain is named after the petrified form of the demigoddess [[Punguari]], whose parents denied her from becoming a full-fledged god due to her rebellious nature and lack of responsibility. Dissatisfied, Punguari snuck out and stole a mask that allowed her to become a god; however, the ground around her started to crack and separate. Sisiki, her mother, was forced to petrify her daughter; should Punguari be freed now, Mexico would be in danger.

The next day, Ronnie Anne decides to go to Mount Punguari, where she starts to synchronize skate with Sid via video call. However, Ronnie Anne falls off her skateboard, breaking her necklace and releasing Punguari. Soon, a young girl, who introduces herself as Shara, calls for help, her leg having been trapped underneath a branch following an earthquake. Ronnie Anne, accompanied by Shara, is confronted by her mother, who is angry that she snuck out to do her own thing. Later that evening, Maria expresses her frustration about Ronnie Anne's rebellious nature, prompting Mama Lupe to take her outside to practice her ''chancla'' throwing.

Shara and Ronnie Anne sneak away to a museum, where Ronnie Anne uncovers the gateway to the realm holding the mask. Shara, taking the mask, reveals that she is in fact Punguari all along, leaving Ronnie Anne trapped within the realm. However, her grandfather [[Hector Casagrande|Hector]] ends up finding her through a magical mirror. Ronnie Anne explains her plight to her family, who sneak into the museum at night to save her. Ronnie Anne realizes that the story of Punguari was wrong: as Punguari wielded the mask, the cracks forming within the ground was allowing another deity - [[Ucumu]], the god of the underworld - to rise up from the ground.

Punguari harnesses the mask's power to make herself a god, draining the sea and creating a temple in its wake. However, the earth starts to crack once more. Ronnie Anne decides to go to Punguari's temple herself, where she confronts Punguari and tells her the true story: her parents petrified her to protect her from Ucumu. They notice that Maria, who tried to get to the temple, is about to slip into the newly-formed cracks. Punguari shapeshifts into a coyote and runs toward Maria, who uses her itinerary to swing herself to safety. The family and Punguari regroup as Ucumu rises from the cracks.

Ronnie Anne rides off with Punguari into battle, while Maria orders [[Lalo]] to dig for a giant ''chancla'', and [[Bobby Santiago|Bobby]] grabs the sacred flame housed beneath Mama Lupe's house. Bobby's group returns to the mainland as Ucumu summons a group of minions to attack. Lupe's housekeeper, Don Tacho, crashes the plane he was piloting into the minions, taking them out, and each Casagrande utilizes their strengths to fight them off. Punguari is eventually knocked out by Ucumu, who proceeds to drag her into a skull on his mask.

Maria, aided by a group of Chancla Warriors, is able to lift the giant ''chancla'' long enough for [[Frida Puga Casagrande|Frida]] to knock a paper cutout of [[Arturo Santiago|Arturo]], which is engulfed in the sacred flame, into the ''chancla'', which strikes Ucumu, reducing him into a skeleton. Ronnie Anne fires at Ucumu, destroying him and petrifying all of his minions. Punguari seals the cracks using the temple she built, preventing Ucumu's return, and reunites with her parents, who had been turned into gemstones. Sisiki and Maria reconcile with their respective daughters and put aside their differences.

Punguari's father, Chipiri, restores the mainland back to its former glory, and the Festival of the New Fire is now being held at Mama Lupe's island. Maria presents her daughter with another gemstone as Punguari, Sisiki and Chipiri watch the celebrations from afar.

== Production ==
The film was officially announced by [[Nickelodeon]] on [[April 4]], [[2023]], alongside the second season of ''[[The Really Loud House]]'' and its made-for-TV movie ''[[A Really Haunted Loud House]]''.

On November 17, [[2023]], production for the movie was confirmed to have been wrapped up by storyboard director [[Miguel Puga]] posting a picture of the [[Nickelodeon Movies]] logo in a screening room.

On December 11, 2023, Netflix announced the movie would premiere in March 22, 2024.<ref>[http://www.nickalive.net/2023/12/netflix-to-premiere-casagrandes-movie.html NickAlive!: Netflix to Premiere 'The Casagrandes Movie']</ref>

The film's trailer was released on [[February 23]], [[2024]], a month before the movie's premiere.

==Trivia==
* This is the first ''Loud House''-related film not to have any of the Louds or [[Clyde McBride]] physically appearing, and thus also the first movie not to have [[Brian Stepanek]] a part of the cast.
** However, when Carlota is live-streaming Ronnie Anne's birthday, some of the comments are from (in order) [[Luna Loud|Luna]], Clyde, [[Flip]], [[Lincoln Loud|Lincoln]], and [[Lori Loud|Lori]]. Also, when Ronnie Anne is sneaking past Bobby's room earlier, he can be heard dreaming that he's proposing to Lori.
* This film makes ''[[The Casagrandes]]'' the fifth Nicktoon to receive a film adaptation after it concluded its broadcast, after ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'', ''[[Invader Zim]]'', and ''[[Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''.
** It also makes ''The Casagrandes'' the second Nicktoon spun off from another Nicktoon to receive a film adaptation, after ''[[Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''.
*** However, unlike the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' franchise, this marks the first time [[The Loud House|the parent series]] has also received [[The Loud House Movie|a film adaptation]] beforehand, as the preexisting Nickelodeon-produced ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' films were not directly adapted from the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series)|2012 TV series]].
* This is the first film in the ''Loud House'' franchise to be released in the first half of a year.
* The premise of this film is very similar to ''[[The Loud House]]''<nowiki/>'s [[The Loud House Movie|first movie]], as they both involve the main family going on a road trip to another country and get in touch with more of their roots, while also having to deal with mythological beings.
** However, unlike that film, ''The Casagrandes Movie'' is not a musical. The only songs in this film are "[[I'm Back (song)|I'm Back]]" from the TV episode "[[Operation Popstar]]", and a new song called "[[I'm Over the Moon]]".
** ''The Casagrandes Movie'' also has a similarity with the Louds' next movie, ''[[No Time to Spy: A Loud House Movie]]'', in that both movies involve the movie's antagonist pretending to befriend the protagonist and before betraying and trapping them later. However, in ''The Casagrandes Movie'', Punguari comes to reform and genuinely befriend the Casagrandes by helping them defeat Ucumu; in contrast, [[Fifi Dufus]]' villainy is kept secret from the viewers until ''No Time to Spy''<nowiki/>'s climax, and she remains evil through the movie.
*This is the 2nd time that Ronnie Anne's phone has run out of batteries, after "[[A Very Casagrandes Christmas]]".
**However, at the end, Ronnie Anne's phone was fully recharged.
