A gingerbread Labubu, the Titanic and a miniature Louvre heist are among 151 edible creations unveiled on Friday at Stockholm's Museum of Architecture and Design for its annual Christmas gingerbread house competition.

A furry mascot, Labubu spent the rest of the day touring the city, cruising around in the back seat of a black S.U.V., taking in the sights from the top of the Empire State Building and cheering on the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks from courtside.

A Labubu movie is reportedly in early development after Sony acquired the movie rights to the doll that became a trendy phenomenon worldwide.

Labubu dolls are getting the Hollywood treatment with a movie adaptation. According to multiple reports, Sony Pictures has an unspecified project about the popular Pop Mart collectible toys.

This week, Sony Pictures acquired the film rights to Labubu dolls, the Chinese plush figurines that took social media and the fashion world by storm early this year.

Labubu, the plush toy line of scruffy cute-ugly monsters, could be headed to the big screen. Sony Pictures, home of the Jumanji movies and, via its animation division, KPop Demon Hunters, has picked up the screen rights to the Chinese doll brand with the aim of making a movie and, in success, launching a franchise.

Labubu has powered monster growth for Chinese toymaker Pop Mart and tapped into China's newfound branding power that could outlast the toy's phenomenon.

Christmas shoppers are being warned about the sale of fake Labubu dolls after the removal of almost 100 from shops in Reading. Labubu is a quirky monster character created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, and popularised through a collaboration with toy store Pop Mart.
