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.
APC's Dan Chuba, John Davis, Mark Dippe, Brian Manis and Ash Shah will produce the CG-animated toon as a 3-D feature.
Steve and Dan Altiere, who penned the fourth installment of Fox's "Dr. Dolittle 4," will write the script, to be based around the recently released "Legend of Spyro" trilogy of games, which is considered a relaunch of the entire series.
No director has yet been hired.
Since Spyro's introduction in 1998, game franchise has earned $525 million and shipped over 20 million units worldwide for Sierra, a division of Vivendi Games.
"Spyro the Dragon" will likely become the third toon for APC, since it was formed last year.
Company recently completed "Garfield Gets Real," a co-production with Garfield creator Jim Davis, and has moved on to "Garfield's Fun Fest." Davis produced "Garfield: The Movie" and "Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties" for Fox through his Davis Entertainment.

these movies seem pretty random.
in fact when i went to watch nightmare before christmas 3-D there was a trailer of a crash video game and it seemed to be for a movie (considering it was showing in the thaters) and i kept saying to myself " this has to be a joke" " there's gotta be more film material somehere" but i guess that for the most part of the following years there isn't.
although i do like spyro as a character.
and there could be hope of the old cast of Dr. DOllittle coming back

I used to love spyro back when the original games were out and they were much nicer. You had to rescue fairies and baby dragons and things - I also loved the character of Bianca. Now they've re-launched the series, started from scratch and I hate it. It's so dark and adult-feeling now that I lost interest in what was originally just a simple kid's game about a purple dragon.
The original spyro games for the playstation one were the best in my opinion, but I don't really play video games, so I've not seen them in years.
If the movie is going to be based around the re-launch, to be honest, I'm not interested.
As for Garfield, I actually happened to see the second Garfield movie yesterday and liked it. It was enjoyable, quite funny, but on the whole, nothing special. I don't like European movies, but for some reason I love American movies set in Europe.
