More about the Skibidi Toilet movie

The Skibidi Toilet movie marks a collaboration between director Michael Bay and media studio Invisible Narratives. The project, originally hinted at in mid-2024, is now moving forward with full-scale development, financing, and production under Invisible Narratives, where Bay also serves as chief creative advisor.

The film aims to adapt Skibidi Toilet, a YouTube-born viral series created by Alexey Gerasimov into a full-length feature using a hybrid of live-action and animation.

Michael Bay is working closely with Academy Award-nominated production designer Jeffrey Beecroft and three-time Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor Rob Legato.

According to a recent press release, the upcoming film will carry Bay’s well-known visual intensity while aiming to transform a meme-driven digital IP into a theatrical experience. Originally launched in February 2023, the Skibidi Toilet series follows a surreal conflict between toilet-headed beings and humanoid characters with electronic heads, including CameraHeads and SpeakerHeads.

Since its debut on the YouTube channel DaFuqBoom, the franchise has grown into a large-scale IP with over 110 million subscribers and more than 35 billion views across associated channels. It has also expanded into gaming, merchandise, and publishing, and maintains an active fan base on platforms like Roblox.

In May 2025, Bay posted an AI-generated teaser on Instagram, which referenced the film but also clarified that artificial intelligence would not be used in the actual production. The teaser included a cryptic message, “There is a clue here,” hinting at the creative direction being taken.

In earlier comments, Invisible Narratives CEO Adam Goodman noted that the adaptation may incorporate stylistic elements similar to District 9 or John Wick, but clarified that the goal was to evolve the digital series into a viable film product without relying solely on its internet origin.

As of now, the Skibidi Toilet movie does not yet have a confirmed release date.
