Like LEGO — who’s been the focus of several very successful Warner Bros. animated movies recently — Funko is mostly known now for licensed toys, and presumably Warner Bros. could ensure the characters it controls (the DC heroes, Harry Potter, Scooby Doo) could all appear in the movie.
Let’s all remember that when there are literally 125 different Funko Pop!s connected to The Funko Movie in four years.
Really, if you want to make a LEGO-style animated movie without LEGO, Funko is one of the few toy brands that would make sense.
Deadline reports that Funko is teaming with Warner Bros. on a feature animated film starring the toymaker’s popular figures.
