Makes sense, I always thought they would have some.... not all their properties fit live action.

Also look at Mario, animation is huge and kids are always looking for the next big new novel thing.

Can't remember the last time Sony Pictures had any hits..... and it's not because of the source material they work on. Spider-man aside it's literally 007 (another staple) and an oddity here or there more rare than total eclipses.

Bond is gone, since MGM got bought by Amazon. That means things like Rocky and several others are gone too....
I do think they made some of the best Bond movies though. Particularly Casino Royal and Skyfall.

They do have some good stuff from time to time.... Anything made by Tarantino is now through them, Equalizer, Jumanji movies, Big George Foreman is out soon, they also put out some horror movies like Insidious.

But I think TV production is where they really shine with stuff like Breaking Bad and Cobra Kai....

I'd actually rate them ahead of Disney in the last few years. But maybe that is just my taste in film / tv.

I mean, the latest Spidey film is only two years old and was a breakout hit.

Just dont make the same mistake you made spring that last Ratchet And Clank movie that was horrible, give it to a proper studio that actually knows what it's doing.

I’m surprised how often the Sony intro logo pops up on something I’m watching. Think they publish a shit ton of movies and shows.

Ratchet was a dud, right?

Yeah, it was like they got all the cutscenes and put them all together to make a movie but instead of being a badass, Ratchet basically does nothing... has no big fights or anything... I suppose to make it G / PG.

But it was terrible. Shame... big missed opportunity.

One of the worst movies ever made, there was almost no marketing for it and they delayed it by a year because of the ant man movie. The Story and Ratchets charecter were as bad as the ps4 game

The Boys, Venom 1 & 2, Spiderverse, Uncharted, TLOU, The Mitchells Vs The Machcines, Jumanji

All their anime distribution, like My Hero Academia movies, SuZume.etc

The best game related animation so far came from the least expected IP, League of Legends.

Looking at Sony IPs I don't see an obvious fit.

The Boys, Venom 1 & 2, Spiderverse, Uncharted, TLOU, The Mitchells Vs The Machcines, Jumanji

All their anime distribution, like My Hero Academia movies, SuZume.etc
Sony made a lot of great series like Community, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Crown.

With the success of The Last of Us, adapting Jak & Dexter (another Naughty Dog IP) would make sense.

How do you adapt Jak and Daxter with those massive cartoony elf ears? İt's not something that would work
