On August 2nd Slugterra: Return of the Elementals will be hitting theaters in a limited release. I received a screener so that I could review the movie and I watched it this past weekend.

Junjie has been training his whole life and is very rigid. The Shane Gang is a little less so. Suddenly the team has to deal with a crisis. Half of the slugs that they have suddenly turn into ghouls.
The gang learns that all slugs in Slugterra originated from five elemental slugs: Air, Water, Earth, Fire and Energy. Something has happened to the Air Elemental, it has been turned to a ghoul and so all air slugs also turn to ghouls. Eli tries to heal the ghouled slugs with Doc but it doesn’t take.
