The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure (also referred to as The Oogieloves) is a 2012 American children's musical comedy adventure film based loosely on the children's television series My Bedbugs by Alex Greene and Carol Sweeney. It stars Toni Braxton, Cloris Leachman, Christopher Lloyd, Chazz Palminteri, Cary Elwes, and Jaime Pressly. Marketed as an "interactive film", The Oogieloves encourages the viewers in the theater to sing and dance along. The film was theatrically released on August 29, 2012 by Kenn Viselman Presents and Freestyle Releasing. The film was panned by critics and it earned $1,065,907 on a $20 million budget, making it a huge box office bomb. The film was nominated for Worst Picture and Worst Screen Ensemble at the 33rd Golden Raspberry Awards, but lost both to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2. The film was released on DVD on February 5, 2013, exclusively at Walmart.
The film opens with an introduction explaining the interactive nature of the movie and introducing the Oogieloves, Goobie, Zoozie, and Toofie.
The Oogieloves awake to prepare a surprise birthday party for their living pillow Schluufy, with the aid of magical window Windy Window, vacuum cleaner J. Edgar, and fish Ruffy. However, J. Edgar accidentally releases the five magical balloons they bought for Schluufy, so the Oogieloves set out to retrieve them.
