"A Minecraft Movie" is directed by Hess and features Jack Black as Steve, who explains the game's mechanics in a relatable way. The film is characterized as a quirky indie comedy with eccentric characters, avoiding a serious tone. It has gained popularity through audience participation, particularly during the Chicken Jockey scene, although this has raised concerns about potential damage to theater screens. Warner Bros. will release the film digitally on May 13, 2025, and on physical media on June 24, 2025, including formats like 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD, along with three 15-minute documentaries. The film's viewing experience has been compared to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," with spontaneous audience interactions. The cast includes Sebastian Eugene Hansen, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge.
