The film is being produced by Rainmaker Entertainment (ReBoot, Beastwars: Transformers, Spider-Man: The New Animated Series [the CG, MTV one], Harriet the Spy & the Barbie Fairy Tale movies).
SYNOPSIS
Ratchet and Clank tells the story of two unlikely heroes as they struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called “The Galactic Rangers” in order to save the galaxy. Along the way they’ll learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one’s own identity.

This is going to be one heck of an interesting year in 2016.
It will be great fun to see if Ratchet & Clank explodes in theaters. If it does, and it becomes as successful as say, Wreck-It Ralph, then we may be on the eve of a new tidal wave of videogame-based movies that hit it mainstream by going the kiddy route.
By appealing to children with the magical animation of a Disney or Pixar-style film, many videogames could make a huge splash in Hollywood.
Nintendo… Are you listening?! I hope they are taking notes! Can you imagine how huge a Super Mario Bros. animated film could be?!
Let’s hope the Ratchet & Clank movie is a rip-roaring success!
