An animated film adaptation of Ni no Kuni produced by OLM and Warner Bros. It was released in Japan on August 23, 2019. It is be an original story, heavily inspired on the premise of the original ''VideoGame/NiNoKuni'', instead of a direct or close adaptation. Netflix picked the film up as an 'Original' and streamed it on January 16, 2020.

The movie is about high school friends Yu and Haru who travel between the real world and a parallel fantasy universe to help their friend Kotona, whose life is in danger after she is stabbed.

----
!!This movie provides examples of:

* TheAce: Haru is shown to be one. He is the star played on the basketball team, is good looking (based on all the girls who swarm over him after he wins the basketball game) and is implied to have good grades.
* CloudCuckoolander: The old man in the beginning of the movie is trying to use his cane to cast a spell. [[spoiler:The spell happens to be "Gateway", and the old man is heavily implied to be an older Oliver.]]
* Dopplegangner: Another mainstay of the franchise. Kotona and Princess Astrid are ones for each other, leading Yu and Haru to think Astrid is actually Kotona.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Haru, on the basketball team and during a game, is shown to be assertive, aggressive and a little hot headed. Yu, sitting on the sidelines and watching the game plans, is shown to be observant and calculating. This is exemplified when Yu chastises Haru that if Haru had taken his time in the game, he would have scored more points. Haru brushes him off.
* Expy: Gnauss Wisden, the royal advisor and Magic Minister, looks like a red head version of [[VideoGame/NiNoKuni2RevenantKingdom Leander Arisides]].
* GeniusCripple: Yu, who has to use a wheelchair, is implied to be one.
* ProtectiveCharm: A Royal Aegis is supposed to protect Princess Astrid, and implied by extension other royalty. A fairy mentions anyone who does harm to the princess is supposed to suffer the same harm or injury.
* RedOniBlueOni: Yu is blue and Haruto is red.
* RoyalAdvisor: Magic Minister Gnauss Wisden.
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: In the otherworld, Yu is suddenly able to get up and walk. He doesn’t even realize he is walking until Haru tells him he is. [[DullSurprise He really doesn’t make a big deal about this.]]
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Par for the course with Ni No Kuni. The boys are somehow transported to the magical world in the middle of a near traffic accident.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: The two guys are Yu and Haru and the girl is Kotona, though Kotona and Haru are in a relationship together.
* WheelchairWoobie: Yu is this. He is shown sulking in his room, depressed he can’t go everywhere with his friends and is unlucky in love.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Princess Astrid is under a curse that won’t heal. The curse is identified with a glowing purple mark on her abdomen with purple vines spreading throughout her body. [[spoiler: The curse wound is in the same spot Kotona was stabbed in.]]
