Well I can’t find the thread for Stray (2022), so I’ll just make one here. Annapurna is following up NIMONA (2023) with an animated adaptation of Stray. A lot of people from Blue Sky coming in to work on the movie. Entertainment Weekly broke the story: https://ew.com/movies/stray-movie-video-game-chris-wedge-foo-annapurna-animation/

Well, that's something I'm pleasantly surprised by. Stray is pretty simple as stories go, but it has potential

Yeah, very interested to see how it turns out.

Though if anyone has a link for the game’s thread, feel free to share.

I was confused by the thread's title, I thought the movie was released in 2022 and I just haven't heard about it.

Okay, how do I go about getting it changed? Is there a thread I can go to to ask the mods or would the Ask the Tropers page work?

Well, like I said, pleasantly surprised, but I need a bit more to get actually excited. Stray was a fun rump, but a lot of it came from the unusual player character as a big Dancing Bear. I'm not sure how well that will translate into a film narrative.

But hey, if they happen to cut down on the pointless orientalism of the game, that would already be a plus.

[up] Thank you.

But yeah I’m mostly sold on this. I’m always game for an unusual protagonist.

A cat protagonist is not very unusual in cartoons. A cat protagonist in a world of robots, however...

Not gonna lie, when I saw the thread title, I thought it was about Strays (2023).

Yeah, we should clarify there’s no connection.

UPDATE: Done. And yeah, the idea is it’s gonna more cerebral and dramatic.

So uh Iove th is game. And I think plenty of people do but uh how does this work as like an actual film ?

The cat being ambiguous whether it's sapient or just a normal cat is part of the fun of the original.

I’m sure they can pull it off. Like Baymax in Big Hero 6. There was a question of whether he was Sapient or a result of programming, and the writer of that movie is involved with this.

Interesting, if they stick to how the cat was portrayed in the game then this will inherently turn into a bit of an experimental movie. That or they go the disappointing route and add the cat being able to talk or something like that.

I’m really hoping they don’t. Let the robots be voiced by the celebrities. Let the cat be quiet.

Well there's plenty of people talking and the humor is the cat is an ordinary cat.

Even when people are calling it the Chosen One.
