Gabbys Dollhouse by The Little Labs
Interactive Animations For Spin Master
The Little Labs partnered with Spin Master to bring Gabby’s Dollhouse into a physical, interactive toy, creating over 60 animations precisely timed to sound. Deliverables spanned 360-degree room cycles, expressive LCD eye sequences, mini-game visuals, music-synced beats, and character reactions triggered by buttons and motion. To meet the toy’s unique hardware and format, The Little Labs built custom After Effects tooling and optimized files to run reliably inside a nationwide, mass-market product. Every loop, pace, and cue was crafted to withstand energetic play while preserving the show’s charm and responsiveness. The launch became a hero product tied to the movie’s October release, turning a static dollhouse into a living extension of Gabby’s world and elevating playtime with synchronized motion and audio.
