Premise
Typical white rabbit Bellybutton's cartoon animal-populated world is threatened when a ravenous bear acquires the assistance of a bear-resembling extraterrestrial race to feast on every rabbit he can find, unaware that it's more than the rabbits these beasts are after.

Development
Cabhan was initially concerned about the idea of an adaptation of the series, but eventually accepted an offer from Splash Animation producer Brandon Monroe in July 2015. A writing team consisting of Cabhan, Hancock, Karey Kirkpatrick, and Michael Arndt was assembled, conceiving the idea of a hero who must stop a force triggered by the rivalry between him and an oversized predator. A large portion of Hancock and Cabhan's conditions attached to any potential animated film was that The Doodle Toons Movie must at least be a slapstick comedy, to keep in touch with the webtoon's humor. Cabhan stated that his desire was to have the film composed in a much more vivid style and do something other than the "child pandering rubbish" seen in certain computer animated films today.

In December 2015, Splash Animation announced plans to release The Doodle Toons Movie on July 28, 2017. However, in January 2016, this film was taken off the release schedule, and the new release date was yet to be announced. In March 2016, the release date was pushed to October 27, 2017.
