With the 50th anniversary of the first Jaws movie fast-approaching, many fans of the controversial thriller quadrilogy have mixed feelings. Despite the enormous success of the first Jaws movie, the sharks of disappointment munched their way through the franchise, immersing fans in an ocean of sadness rather than thrill movie after movie.
6 Things Jaws Gets Wrong About Sharks
Even though Jaws is based off a book with real-life exploits, there are still several things that the movies get wrong about sharks.
No matter how you feel about the Jaws franchise today, the original 1975 movie turned out to pack a ton of thrill. It is little wonder that a lot of thriller movie lovers enjoy rewatching this gem and rekindling the delicious feeling that it evokes to this day. Turning 50 years old on June 20, 2025, it’s safe to say that this movie has been aging quite well.
Loungefly has recently paid tribute to this time-honored thriller classic in style with its new mini backpack available for $80 on the Loungefly site and for $76 on Amazon. Letting our sense of nostalgia float all the way back to the sharky thrill of the first Jaws movie, the newest delight from Loungefly is preloaded with jaw-dropping suspenseful charm.
The Jaws 50th Anniversary Mini Backpack at a Glance
In light of the upcoming anniversary of the Jaws franchise, many of its dedicated fans long to reconnect with its original feel. After all, the notorious reception of Jaws: The Revenge, or rather a lack of reception whatsoever, has left an unpleasant aftertaste in the hearts of many movie thriller lovers. This is something that Loungefly seems to remedy in its own way with its newest mini backpack doing the origins of the Jaws franchise some justice.
Unlike Loungefly’s previous Jaws-themed bags, the Jaws 50th Anniversary mini backpack comes with a new special feature that killer shark enthusiasts will find awfully adorable. The mini backpack features a beautiful embroidered boat drifting off into the sunset. It makes for a lovely scene, no doubt, yet a true terror of the deep is lurking nearby, waiting to strike, and strike it will.
The mini backpack’s shark fin applique pops up and down between the waves. This revamps the good old feeling of dark suspense as the seemingly blissful maritime setting is about to explore all kinds of shades of macabre. In addition to the not-so-subtle shark presence, the bag features vibrant yellow barrels bobbing on top of the waves, which adds a nice touch to the impending horror scene.
The mini backpack comes with other details worthy of the mighty killer shark's mercy:
- Blue Adjustable Straps
- Two Side Drop Pockets in the Shape of Ocean Waves
- Silver-Colored Metal Zipper and Zipper Tab
- Jaws-Themed Blue Inner Lining
- A Sturdy Blue Top Handle
- Materials: Polyurethane
- Dimensions: 9 Inches (Width) x 10 inches (Height) x 4.5 Inches (Depth)

On a side note, with its awesome designs, the company has a knack for keeping love for time-honored franchises alive and burning well. The recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mini backpacks from Loungefly are a case in point. We could say that this new Jaws-themed mini backpack is awesome, or rather “jawsome,” too.
Weaving horror and charm into one suspenseful scene, this mini backpack has what it takes to cause a shark from nightmares to smile at its appliqued counterpart. While this Loungefly bag makes for a great standalone accessory, it happens to have a fun smaller Jaws-themed companion that it matches perfectly.
More Teeth Than Even a Wallet Can Handle
As Loungefly’s recent collection themed after Star Wars shows, the company knows how to give fans a chance to honor their favorite franchise in a practical way. When it comes to the Jaws 50th anniversary ahead, Loungefly has yet another handy treat for fans of the franchise who won’t mind having a killer shark look after their valuables.
Up for grabs for $25 on the Loungefly site and on Amazon alike, the Jaws 50th Anniversary large card holder boasts a terrifyingly delightful sight. The murderous shark puts all its sharp teeth to good use while chomping on a big yellow barrel. This little shark jaw warm-up session before all the horror ahead is appliqued with great attention to detail.
