Quote: Variety
Spyro the Dragon could soon breathe some fire on the bigscreen: The Animation Picture Co. has optioned the rights to turn the purple star of Sierra Entertainment and Vivendi Game's vidgame franchise into a toon.
The film will apparently be based around the Legend of Spyro games.
now my life is complete.
But, you guys might hate me for thinking like this, i read that the Animation Picture Co. has just formed last year and so far they've penned Dr. Dolittle 4 and made two movies that seem to be about garfield. I was just thinking, what if they don't have enough experience and they actually kill the spyro legacy by making a crappy movie???
BUT lets all hope and pray that it will turn out very good and that it will reawaken the spyro fan in hearts of ppl everywhere
I can't see much of a boost given to the franchise's morale through a CGI movie, but odds are it won't attempt to dwindle the fanbase or anything, so no worries about that. Still, this might be the strangest news I've heard all month, so goodness knows if they really WILL put it into practice.
i just read the article, and it seems that they work w/ppl from fox, so they aren't TOTALLY inexperienced
If the real Spyro creatos make this....THEN IM HAPPY
very true, they should have some ppl that actually helped in making the spyro triligy
I'll be talking for WEEKS!!!
a spyro film, i cant wait!
will it be in the cinema! (duh)
if it is i bet there will be no room at all!
Before the film: Spyro fans, 100
After the film: spyro fans, 10000000000000000000000 ect
lol i caaaaannnnnntttt wwwaaaaiiiiittttt
when they make it (if they do) i think they should use the animators that were used to make THE LEGEND OF SPYRO: A NEW BEGGINING

when they make it (if they do) i think they should use the animators that were used to make THE LEGEND OF SPYRO: A NEW BEGGINING because parts of the game were little movie bits, which were well animated... WOOOHooo!
who cares, as long as it rocks, i don't!!
My point was that Spyro may not be as bad as the other video game movies because of this.
That sounds very, very interesting and nice!Still, I wait more that tlos3
(Well, in my opinion, that is)
--------------
I have it on my ipod
wheeeeeeee spyro's a movie *dances*lalalala WOO-HOO YEE-HOO!!!!!!!
This is so exciting, I'm gonna see it on the day it's shown at cinemas.
I have to see it then, too!
Because I don't like that people just talk about it and then I hear what is gonna happening
oh my god. >>; if it DOES become a film, I definitely wouldn't see it. I've been an avid Spyro fan since the beginning, but the magic got kinda killed with the release of aHT, in my opinion.
agreed.
i have not been past the legend, but seeing that there are more than ten spyro games in the series, i doubt the movie would be good at all. what is it going to be about?
besides, spyro doesn't belong on the big screen. it's a video game.
it just doesn't seem like it could make a very enjoyable movie.
:-)
i'm just stating my opinion openly about it and hope that you don't take it offensively.
You must mean a film and a fan-film Jamieque.
A fan-film is still considered a Film, Michael. However, at the moment, since the writers are on strike production on the Spyro movie might be halted. I don't want to see that happen but I have a bad feeling that it is going to happen. It sucks because I want to see the story premise they are going to use for the film.
guess what? everyone in my class thinks that spyro is gay just cuz hes purple!!! i said no hes not cuz he has a girlfriend!! arggghh they make me so mad......
They just got no fantasy. Ignore them.
also lyk TEN once was, and then became true
They better take the time and effert.

especially when its form the directers of garfield and DD4 those r not good movies.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133604/
if the link doesn't work go to www.imdb.com and type Spyro the Dragon into the search bar (set it to all) and click the STD *laughs* (listed as full name, abbreviated for my fingers convience) with 2009 next to it.
Apparently it is by "Animation Picture Company" and is labeled as "announced". There's also some message board posts listed at the bottom.
P.S. Why is snigers (with 2 g's) censored. It's not a swear word as far as I know.
me: this is my i can't wait in two years dance!!!!
I love to be giving good news for once. I found out about the IMDB page on wednesday (Aus. time) but I couldn't get on DarkSpyro because of assignments. I haven't been able to find an official website yet and I won't expect to till some time in mid-late 2008 (rhymes) but I'm sure there'll be some unofficial material turning up reallly soon.
I did manage to find unofficial material on movieweb
http://www.movieweb.com/movies/film/75/5675/summary.php
but yeah, i was freaking out sayin, DAD!!! ITS SPYRO!!! ITS SPYRO!!!
you should have seen my face!!! I was about to eat a nacho, and i was saying something, and my arm froxe and my sentence left unfinished, for i was bugged out!!! O_O LOL
btw, does anyone know where the E3 is going to be this year??
but back on topic, i'm going to MAKE SURE that we get there before the previews, then i'll come here and tell ya how the ad goes.
.
btw- i saw part of a Spyro ad at the movies, and he looks AWESOME on the big screen!!!!
but don't worry, i'm going to the movies w/ my mom this week, so i'll have another chance to see it!!
also, i'll try and ask any of the employees if they've heard anything bout a purple dragon.........
I am a Spyro fan but I'm not stupid enough to think this will be any good.
Sarnt Major - you can't be serious!? The writers have written Dr. Doolittle 4 (the first three were bad enough)...the company did the latest Garfield (that's not saying much) and the producer worked on such movies as "Shark Bait"...a terrible, ugly "Finding Nemo" rip-off. Please tell me you were being sarcastic there!

that's what I said
Trust me. They have some of the very best and most capable story craftors working on this project. They are eminently qualified and hugely capable. Spyro is in the very best of hands and this will be a movie experience to remember.
lolsarcasm
Seriously though, you must be either a troll or one of the people who are working on this movie. There's no other way you could be so optimist with the info we know at the moment.
A) Sarcastic
Painfully (Hurtfully) OptimisticC) Blind, Deaf and Dumb
Sorry to be rude. I'm one of the hugest Spyro fans out there, been there since day 1 with Spyro, but even then I can't be positive. I'm not so stupid as to ignore the signs in front of me - everyone involved in this movie have done very poor to horrible work before, I believe in miracles but nothing so huge as to think they'll magically make a good Spyro movie.
Sorry.
Well I'm looking forward to it anyway.
Just the power of positive thinking people. Come on - I thought you were all Spyro fans! Of course it's going to be good and of course it's in good hands. Put away the torches and pitchforks. It's going to be great!
Of course it's going to be good and of course it's in good hands.
*cough* It's not *cough*
like when AHT came out, i predicted the EXACT year it would come out!!! so there fore, i wouldn't have lost faith in spyro until like 6 or 7 years after ETD came out, cuz it takes bout 4-5 years to make a game. (well it doesn't any more)
i also predicted the year that ANB came out, and so that had also given me faith, all i'm sayin is if they keep making spyro games, and so i have something to look forward too, i will never lose my interest in spyro.
i can wait easily!! It's not that far off!! espesically if you're in high school!! the years just wiz on by!!!
I wish I was in high school right now! But you're right about when the years pass on by, cuz this year felt like three months!!! But sometimes when you think about something that you just can't wait for it to come out, the days seem to go by slower. That happened to me when I wanted TEN, which I've gotten it on the 7th of Oct.
Anyway, back on topic is anyone else as pessemistic about the quality and/or entertainment value of the movie as I am.
if the movie is succesful hope they make a animated series
I found a link from wikipedia with more info on the movie
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i11356e5762144f43282f58e134fe3f2e
Ummm, Okay, but that in itself is a weird thing.
Anyway, back on topic is anyone else as pessemistic about the quality and/or entertainment value of the movie as I am.
well, the animation style, if they do it wrong, he'll look super dorky.

Horray!!!
yep, i've always waited for someone to come up with the idea to make a Spyro movie
