Status: Lost

How The Hampsters Saved Winter was a straight-to-DVD lost animated movie about Hampton and the Hampsters going on a "snowy adventure where they help make a family's dream come true." It is unknown who directed or starred in the movie, but it was produced by Abatis International LLC and animated by a company in New Jersey.

The movie was listed for sale sometime in 2009 on the Hampster Dance website, with a link to order it through the site Kunaki. The DVD was available to purchase as late as 2012. [1] However, now when someone clicks on the link, they would be directed to a page that says "product not available."[2]

The movie's existence was confirmed in an article from 2018 where Bill Porfido, owner of the Hampster Dance property, confirmed "roughly 2,000 copies" of the movie were sold.[3] No clips, trailers, or audio exists of the movie. Only the DVD cover and the original price of $7.99 is all that exists online.

UPDATE: Screenshots of the movie can be found via the "Hamster Hijinks" game. (I will update this article to include either the images on the article or via a google drive) UPDATE 2: As of 1/29/20, the website's domain is shut down and is awaiting renewal since 1/23/20. However, considering the website hasn't been updated since 2011, renewal seems unlikely.
