The film will be 30 minutes long. Studio DLE is animating the film with cooperation by Sanrio, and Benpineko (Itsumo Wagamama Gama Ōji, MonHun Nikki Girigiri Airū-mura Airū Kiki Ippatsu) is directing and writing the film.
The Panpaka Pantsu character has already inspired two television short anime series. The first season, titled Panpaka Pantsu O New!, premiered in April 2015. The second season, titled Panpaka Pantsu WO New!, premiered in April 2016 on SBS, before a nationwide airing in June. Studio DLE animated the Flash anime, and Yoshino Nanjō starred in the series as Panpaka and DJ Amigo.
The anime follows Panpaka, a male piglet whose mission it is to collect "wonderful underwear." Panpaka travels with his cat friend Pu-nyan (voiced by Kaoru Mizuhara), and the two of them overcome various hurdles to encounter special underwear, such as mermaid underwear or Kung-Fu underwear.
