The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (marketed as The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D) is a 2005 American 3D superhero film, co-written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and starring Taylor Lautner, Taylor Dooley, Cayden Boyd, David Arquette, Kristin Davis and George Lopez. In the film, ten-year-old Max's dreamed-up superheroes Sharkboy and Lavagirl travel to his world and take him to Planet Drool, where they must stop Mr. Electric and Minus' plan to control the planet with darkness.

Many of the concepts and much of the story were conceived by Rodriguez's children, most notably Racer Max. The film uses anaglyph 3D technology, similar to that used in Rodriguez's Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003).

Sharkboy and Lavagirl was released in the United States on June 10, 2005, by Miramax Films, with Sony Pictures Releasing International releasing in other territories. It received generally negative reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment, grossing $72 million against a budget of $50 million. However, it has since garnered a cult following.

A sequel, We Can Be Heroes, was released in 2020.
