All 5 Spice Girls Are Finally Reuniting — For An Animated Movie

We know you hear this each and every time there's even a hint that the Spice Girls are up to something, nevertheless it would seriously be unfair not to ask. So let's get this over with, shall we? "Are you prepared to spice up your life?!"


Right now that that's done with, we can excitedly relay the news that the popular '90s girl categorize is working with each other on a — wait for it — new ANIMATED MOVIE!


Today (June 12), The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the movie is now in early development. Paramount Animation president Mireille Soria instructed them outlet that the Spice Ladies "had an idea that we've been developing," and that all five members of the '90s girl sort "are very involved." Yup! Mel B., Emma Bunton, Mel C., Geri Halliwell, and even Victoria Beckham are working with each other on the project, and while specifics are slim, there's no doubt that OG Spice Women fans are already stoked for what's to come.


So what is it that diehard fans can expect? While that's a wonderful question, it's unfortunately not one that can be answered now — or at least not fully. Soria didn't divulge several specifics about the project, however THR did confirm that "the animated feature will include Spice Ladies classics along with new songs." They also revealed that the movie is slated for release in 2020 — so yeah, it's all going down next year.


Additionally, Simon Fuller will be producing the film, and Karen McCullah and Kiwi Smith are writing the screenplay. And as if this whole thing wasn't an enormous girl-power moment already seeing as this is the Spice Females we're talking about, it turns out the studio producing the film has a mostly female senior employees. We STAN.


For some reason, news that the Spice Women are working on something with each other still comes as a little bit of a shock, and maybe that's because historically, not all the group's members have expressed interest in reigniting the magic that once was. Nevertheless these days, it's hard to deny that the order is experiencing a little bit of a resurgence. At the moment, the females (sans Victoria Beckham), are busy touring the U.K. Along with, we'd be remiss not to say that Herve Pagez's "Spicy" featuring Diplo and Charli XCX — released on May 30 ‚ is essentially a synthwave remix that heavily samples "Wannabe," a Spice Females classic. Plus, Charli quite literally cosplayed as all five Spice Women in her video for "1999" with Troye Sivan.


When you imagine all these factors — including the current tour and the Spice Girls-inspired music — it really makes a lot of sense for the categorize to ride out this wave. Sure, we'd like to be able to see a U.S. Tour happen in the near future, nevertheless an animated movie sounds cool too!
