Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie (劇場版 魔法少女まどか☆マギカ Gekijōban Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika), the anime movie adaptation of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, was first announced on November 10, 2011 in NewType 2011-12. The movies are set to be a trilogy with the first two being recap of the anime series and the last one being a continuation of the Madoka Magica story. On April 1, 2012 the titles for the first two movies were announced at Anime Contents Expo. Both movies are set for an Autumn 2012 release.
Movies
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Beginning Story (始まりの物語 Hajimari no Monogatari) is the first of the two recap movies, released on October 6, 2012.

- Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Everlasting Story (永遠の物語 Eien no Monogatari) is the second of the recap movies, to be released on October 13, 2012. It will feature the theme song "Hikari Furu" by Kalafina. It is 109 minutes long and covers the remaining of the anime series.
- Untitled third movie, continuation of the Madoka Magica story.
Trivia
- On August 2012, a picture of a magazine article was leaked to the internet, revealing what appears to be a new character for the Madoka movie. It was quickly discovered that the magazine article was actually a fabrication by 2ch to deceive Madoka fans.
- On October 2, 2012 Mezamashi TV aired a feature on the first movie, showing scenes from the movie OP, new music, as well as new backgrounds and transformation sequences.
Observation
- Sayaka gets a new transformation sequence that takes place underwater.
- Sayaka's hair pins are also changed during her transformation, they're now in the shape of a fortissimo sign.
- In Italian, fortissimo means very strong, bright, tough/severe. In the music world, fortissimo is signed as ff and indicates that the piece should be played very loudly.
- Sayaka's face is concealed more often.
- Mami's transformation sequences was changed.
- Mami's room became lovely and has a loft.
- SHAFT redraws a lot of the background.
- New Kajiura music
- New Credens Justitiam with the lyrics in Japanese.
- Homura and Madoka sitting on chairs together in an open field. Chairs have a significance with the Madoka anime franchise.
Speculation
- The very last part of the new ending animation features an unknown pink silhouette -most likely that of Ultimate Madoka- with another silhouette that is somewhat smaller and floating inside its belly, or womb (?)
- This has fueled speculation of a pregnancy. In Goethe's Faust, Gretchen was actually pregnant with Faust's baby and she was forced to murder her baby by drowning it.

Magical Parameters
According to a couple of tweets from Urobuchi, these were written between when the script was finished and when the storyboarding was being done, so the information is slightly outdated. It should not be taken as final.
