Ted Prince quoted about wanting a "Spyro movie" back then [CLOSED]

Lucky me, I found something interesting other than the latest spin-off game! Apparently during this year's DICE, Insomniac Games' Ted Prince mentioned an interesting tidbit:

Quote:
"Going back to Spyro -- way back, I was lobbying a lot of studio heads to make a Spyro movie. And I got the door shut in my face every single time, because at that time, the studio execs didn't afford games any value at all. They didn't believe the franchise we were creating had mass appeal, and they believed that games were toys, as several speakers alluded to today. And that's changed; now, the opportunities to create cartoon series or movies or anything else are out there. And we're seeing it -- several other Sony properties are being announced as mainstream."

-- Insomniac Games' Ted Price, responding to our question about building universes rather than single games, all of which seems especially appropriate given Activision's announcement of a physical toy-based Spyro game this morning.

Wouldn't be interesting if there was actually a Spyro movie way back then? I would love to attend a movie screening and see Spyro and his friends going through a magical adventure. Too bad movie studios didn't accept this type of thing back then.

I would be too young to go myself. Therefore, I think it would've been a good idea to have it now. For one thing, people would've complained that a Spyro movie was too soon back then.

Guys...this was back then when Insomniac Games was developing the first three Spyro games. As he said, he went to every movie studio about this idea of a Spyro movie, but got rejected. It wouldn't matter today now because the series is under Activision's hands.

I could see a Spyro tv show now with the Skylanders reboot.

That would be epic fail. I think there should be a movie, or series, based on one if the trilogies. Otherwise, I'm not interested... <.<

I can see a Skylanders cartoon happening, but it would be very dull.
