One of my family’s favorite movies this year is finally available to own (out on digital 5/13 and DVD/4K/Blu-ray 6/24). You can have a fun A Minecraft Movie movie night with these ideas! Some of them are from a birthday party we had for my son, but they would be perfect for movie night fun, as well as a few new things we came up with! No matter what you decide to do, A Minecraft Movie is so much fun, and you will have a great time! Get your copy now on Digital, DVD, Blu-ray or 4K!

A Minecraft Movie movie night ideas:

Put edible Slime into “creeper” containers, so they are green
Shooting creepers with dart guns (use paper plates and add streamers, and hang them from a string)
Crafting swords (cardboard and printouts that the kids put together)
Finding iron and gold (spray-painted rocks)
Making potions (water bottles with labels and mixers)
Finding sticks to make a fishing pole that they used to catch “fish”
Put treats into baggies and make labels (like TNT, Dirt, Cooked Fish, etc)

I hope these ideas give you some inspiration for your own fun A Minecraft Movie movie night! I love the movie night pack we got from Warner Bros. + Boutique Publicity. It made our movie night that much more enjoyable!

A Minecraft Movie

The epic party continues at home now that “A Minecraft Movie” is available to own. From Warner Bros.

The film also stars Emma Myers (“Wednesday”), Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (“The Color Purple”), Sebastian Eugene Hansen (“Just Mercy, “Lisey’s Story”), with Jennifer Coolidge.

Hess directed from a screenplay by Chris Bowman & Hubbel Palmer and Neil Widener & Gavin James and Chris Galletta, story by Allison Schroeder and Chis Bowman & Hubbel Palmer, based on the Minecraft video game.

Synopsis

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.
