Candy Land (film)

Candy Land (also known as Candy Land: The Movie on its poster and home media releases) is a 1986 American animated musical fantasy film by produced by Mala Miles Productions and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which was based on the children's board game of the same name by Milton Bradley Company (now owned by Hasbro). The film was inspired by the game’s 1984 version, which was developed and revamped by Landmark Entertainment Group. The story follows two young kids entering the fantasy world of Candy Land.

Candy Land was originally pitched as a television special, but late in production, the film was given a theatrical release instead.

Candy Land was released on December 19, 1986, in the United States and on February 14, 1987 in other countries. The film received negative reviews and was a box-office disappointment. However, the film became successful through merchandising and subsequent home video releases in the 1990s and became a cult classic.
