Inanimate Insanity II: The Movie is a 2024 American fantasy drama and comedy film released into three separate acts on YouTube (Act 1 being on September 7, Act 2 being on October 12 and Act 3 between November 24 to November 29), as the finale of the second season of Inanimate Insanity, directed by the Core Three, Adam Katz, Brian Koch and Justin Chapman, and written by Koch. It has been widely known as the first non-object show style format feature length film to ever be released.
It stars a large cast with the chaos ensuing Inanimate Island and the events of the final contest of the competition, both hosted by MePhone4 and usurped by Steve Cobs before the end of chaos resulting in the deletion of everything MePhone has created. Later, a battle takes Cobs with it and restores the island and Box as well.
The film was initially premiered throughout November 2024, initially in London, England, United Kingdom at the Rich Mix Theatre, then a day after the initial screening, the episode was premiered again at 2 of the Laemmle Theaters in Los Angeles, California. All of them were early screenings, similar to the meetups. Just shortly before the global release on November 29, LeanBeans leaked the full movie to YouTube.
Synopsis
After escaping his creator, MePhone began a series of reality show competitions. Now, his newest season has come down to its final two contestants, Suitcase and Knife. But when MePhone’s past comes back to haunt him, not only will it put his contestants in danger, but it may stop his show from having a proper ending.
Act 1
Welcome to the long-awaited, not-to-be-interrupted, Inanimate Insanity season two FINALE! Our finalists, Knife and Suitcase, have battled their way to the end of a very bizarre competition, slowly adapting themselves with every challenge. But after a declined phone call results in deadly consequences, the two must put what they've learned to the test, and race to save everyone.
However... there's no adapting to the truth at the finish line.
Act 2
After a shocking revelation, our two finalists are tasked with one last, terrifying challenge. As the world crumbles around them, Knife and Suitcase slowly come to realize that they have no choice about what to do next. Meanwhile, the residents of the hotel and mansion struggle to survive.
Act 3
It was only a matter of time before MePhone had to face the consequences. He once thought he could escape his fate, but Cobs insists the reality of the situation is that MePhone never had a choice of his own.
Production and release
Act 1
During Inanimate Insanity's fifth anniversary (April 1, 2016), Adam Katz confirmed that he wanted to end the season with 16 episodes in the Kickstarter crowdfunding video. A goal was planned for 17 episodes for a stretch but that never reached.
After the ending of Inanimate Insanity Invitational, it was thought that Inanimate Insanity II returned to production and it did, with the release of "Truth or Flare". During the BFDI/II crew barbecue live feed stream on the jacknjellify channel from May 25, 2024, Katz confirmed that the sixteenth episode of the season was "in active development".[1]
During the BFDI & Inanimate Insanity Tour of 2024, the II crew revealed several things for the then-movie, including aiming to release on the year on multiple parts, being long enough to be considered a movie, written by Brian Koch (one of the Core Three), described as a "tornado", Steve Cobs and Pickle both appearing, and also described as the most favorite thing they've ever done.
On July 5, Koch revealed in relation to the episode for "a really cool closing credits sequence" on his Twitter. Then on August 16, he hosted a livestream for the aftermath of the release of the season's fifteenth episode and responded to many questions for the finale, including being served as the finale movie, having two special guests, the first word of the transcript (which was "They"), OJ and Taco both appearing, and the writing being completed, with animation being worked at the moment, as well as aimed to released before Christmas 2024.[2]
On August 20, Brian Koch officially referred the movie length episode as Inanimate Insanity II: The Movie as a multi part finale. Characters like Fan, Paper and Trophy were confirmed to appear in the episode and later that day, Marco Bonomo and Jazzy Oliver would voice act some of the film.[3][4] A week later, Koch revealed that every episode would have its own title and that the collective would form the movie.[5]
The trailer for Act 1 was uploaded to YouTube on September 1 where it was revealed that it was coming out on September 7. On September 3, Koch hosted a Questions & Answers livestream for information about the film, where it was revealed that the crew considered their magnum opus (masterpiece), biggest source of inspiration was from Toy Story 3, the Prime Shimmer having relevancy, OJ having a speaking role, deaths could occur, the separate parts being uploaded into one, and aimed to release in 2024.[6]

Act 3
Plot overview
The Reality of the Situation
Cold open: Past and present
Back during the invasion, MePhone3GS tries to escape the Egg Planet, the homeworld of the Light Shimmers, with his fellow buddies (MePhone1 and MePhone3G) because they stole some Egg Shimmers. While 3GS attempts to escape, 1 talks about continuing the mission for the future before being shot and exploded. 3G tries to reason for 3GS to surrender but he decides to continue. Preparing the Meeple Rocket to liftoff and return to Inanimate Earth, MePhone3GS sees that MePhone3G is being left and helps her to get to the Rocket, but she is shot before they could enter back. In the immediate aftermath, a Control Shimmer attacks 3GS and leaves one Egg with him, with the other being left in the door. While the rocket closes, lifting off, the remaining Egg Shimmer is lost, flying in space (possibly falling to Mars). 3GS wakes up and reassures that he can do this.
To the present day, MePhone4 announces "the long-anticipated, not to be interrupted, finale" for Inanimate Insanity II.
Challenge: Progress for the finale
Meanwhile: Attack at Hotel OJ
Through No Choice of Your Own
Challenge: Cobs takes control
Meanwhile: Chaos reigns
Aftermath: The end?
Immediately after taking off the plug, the spaceship disappears, Cobs is taken by MePhoneX, and Knife and Suitcase are prepared to be killed, only to disappear entirely. Everything MePhone4 created was gone, and X was destroyed, with Cobs surviving. Heartbroken by everything he wanted to prepare, MePhone agrees to get back to Meeple Island and (indirectly) canceling II once and for all. But the end... was actually nigh.
Objects in Mirror
Exposition: The battle begins
"Karma Waits" is the song playing first in the episode. Seeing how MePhone4's pain was from his creations and being betrayed was also his trauma of happening. Reaching to the place where it all began, he is taken by Steve Cobs, revealing he called for backup and it could take a few minutes. Cobs attempted to motivate him that the show was a good idea, he'd forgive him and that they could be planning a reboot, in his own words, "professionally" with some major changes than what MePhone had done in the past. Even when Cobs attempted to motivate him with the loss of everything, he promised that it would get easier, but remained to stay completely silent. Steve opted to threat him to get in a lot of trouble.
Just immediately after this, the Egg Spaceship lands to what was once Inanimate Island and Cobs motivates MePhone once again to prove his alliance with his creator. By revealing that everything MePhone loved was gone, he gets scared and does not want to be prepared for the worst to come to pass.
Challenge: Inside MePhone4
Just after this, inside MePhone4, a lot of things he created starts to appear. OJ returns, groaning, only to realize where he was wasn't Hotel OJ, and it appears in front of him. Paper, walking around, finds himself near a piano, something that he had seen before.
