Project Sekai: Colorful Stage: A Project Sekai: Colorful Stage: The Movie Featuring Jack Black as Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage: The Movie featuring Hatsune Miku who Can't Sing is a 2025 movie created by Mojang Studios, Sega, and Colorful Palette and directed by Hatsune Miku. It follows a version of Hatsune Miku (Jack Black) from an unfamiliar Sekai who discovers a portal to the world of Minecraft.
Plot[edit | edit source]
An unknown version of Miku in a broken Sekai suddenly discovers her dream of mining while singing about mining. She beats up an old man (cardboard cutout) and finds a portal to a cubic Minecraft world. She teams up with 20 teenagers (finger puppets) who sing and dance their way through Minecraft, to the point where they have to fight a chicken jockey (two pieces of cardboard duct taped together with one saying "zombie" and the other saying "chicken"). The movie ends with Miku and the 20 teenagers singing the hit song "Lava Chicken".
Production[edit | edit source]
The film was announced in 2020, but due to COVID, Miku going on a writer's strike, and the actors sitting at home eating leeks, it was delayed for 5 years.
“Writing's hard, ok?”
– The guy whose one job was to get everybody coffee, and he somehow screwed that up. Yeah, I'm talking about you, GEOFFREY. You still owe me a Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet'N Low and One Nutrasweet, and Ice.
Release and reception[edit | edit source]
The movie hit theaters on March 9, 2025. It was initially poorly received, with only the director's mom showing up. However, it soon became trending on TikTok after the "chicken jockey" trend surfaced.
Many Project Sekai fans expected to see Vocaloids other than Hatsune Miku, which the producers responded to.
“Yeah, uhh, we only care about Miku. Sorry. The others can go eat a turd.”

Chicken jockey trend[edit | edit source]
The film inspired a TikTok trend based on the chicken jockey scene, where people would throw popcorn and live chickens at the screen when the chicken jockey was on screen. One video showed the police being called and joining in by throwing donuts, another had teenagers attacking each other with leeks, and another was drone footage of a chicken riding another drone straight into the screen. Several minimum-wage janitors reported having "chicken jockey flashbacks", while others could not be reached for comment no matter how hard the news tried. The movie has made some money thanks to the trend, all of which went to replacing the screens and getting therapy for the employees.
