Crash Bandicoot Movie? It Maybe Time

 

Recently when I went to see Mario Galaxy World, a teaser for Sonic The Hedgehog 4 played. I started thinking about popular game companies/consoles mascots with XBOX having Master Chief from Halo. And I started thinking where is a Crash Bandicoot movie?

It's no secret Hollywood isn't exactly bursting at the seams with fresh ideas. Studios love a good franchise or IP they can squeeze every dime out of. With Playstation being owned by Sony which of course has a film studio. It's time that they tapped into the mascot from the Playstation brand.

Now Crash doesn't have the popularity or story lore as the other mascots. However, the story of a mutated Bandicoot (native to Australia). With the energy of the Tasmania devil, bent on foiling the world domination plans of his creator and nemesis Dr. Neo Cortex. Provides a solid foundation to build on for a feature film.

Although the franchise has released 8 main games with the last being in 2020, and a host of sub games. Crash isnt revered like the other two mascots, but if put in the forefront of people's minds I'm sure his popularity would grow.

Animate the film, flesh out the story more. Embrace the wackiness and playfulness of the franchise. I think there would be prime opportunity to build a film franchise for a new generation.

Let's see if Sony sees the potential.
