Deadline is reporting that a Funko animated movie is currently in development from Warner Animation Group after the Warner Bros. optioned the rights to the collectible figures.
Executive Vice President of Warner Animation Group Allison Abbate said that the Funko’s “fresh take on Pop culture” makes the figurines “incredibly appealing to fans of all ages.”
The team at Warner Animation Group have a unique vision of what the first film should be and we are extremely excited to take this journey alongside them,” said Funko CEO Brian Mariotti.
“We’re thrilled for this opportunity and are committed to make an amazing Funko movie that stands on its own merit. This isn’t about selling toys or building a brand.
