Voice of Sly Cooper here. i appreciate the shout out and the content of this very solid video. Thanks for bringing some awareness to the development process of animation and how it applies to the world of Sly!

Seeing Carmelita Fox on the big screen would explode the internet

Movie fans - “this could have kicked off the video game movie renaissance years earlier, what a shame” Furries- “we could have had a fully rendered realistic Carmelita Fox, what a shame”

New Sly Cooper game A game we don’t deserve but one we need

Man, i was so angry when i heard that the Crash bandicoot new cartoon was cancelled. Maybe i'm going to make people angry but i actually like the Ratchet and Clank movie. I still hope the Sly Cooper movie can happening.

He's been left stranded in the desert and everyone's been faked out about a possible movie/tv show. Things are rough for Sly fans right now 😔

I really hope we get a Sly 5. Also, I think that dreamworks or SPA should revive the sly movie.

10:51 really dont want this reference to go unappreciated lol

I remember when the Ratchet & Clank movie was teased in 2013 for a 2015 release, only to be publicly released in 2016, the same year as the Sly Cooper movie. And what's worst was the Sly Cooper movie was cancelled in favor for a animated series by the writers of Sonic Boom, only for nothing

I think the trailer was supposed to be shared link only but uploader did public and we got the trailer instead sony, we got public.

I hope we get a Sly 5. We need to bring him back to Paris from the past!

I'm now with my feet on the ground, if Sony does something for Sly and it will be for the 25 years of the saga, as long as it wants to do something, the problem is that Sony has too many dormant IPs and we can't give space to everyone, let's cross paths fingers for 25 years of the Sly Cooper saga

I think Rainmaker went into the Sly Movie trailer with the same mindset as the initial Ratchet & Clank Movie trailer. Where it gave off the same pitch energy, the character designs were slightly different compared to the final product, and had a release year that wasn't met. Tho there was one scene from that initial trailer, DID actually make it into the film. However, the film would be delayed so the 2016 PS4 Re-Imagining of the OG PS2 game, would tie into the film's release. And receive the extra polish it needed, despite it's only 10-month development cycle. Well, we seen what happened. Tho the pitch/announce trailer for Ratchet led to the film actually happening. The same sadly didn't happen for Sly Cooper. Heck, Jak & Daxter was even planned after Sly was done, but because of Ratchet's box office failure, it would not move forward, at least not under Rainmaker. Either way, I do hope something Sly Cooper related is in the works at PlayStation Productions. If the series can't come back with new games, let the series find new life as a TV show! Given it's comic book & animated series setup, it's perfect!

Ah well, let's not kid ourselves here, the movie/series would've likely been mediocre/awful, if the Ratchet movie was any indication. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I'm glad it was canned haha.

We appreciate Rainmakers efforts but it's clear that they didn't have as much people on their team that we're passionate about these projects in MY opinion.. it did felt like just some mindless slop (and the way my country treated the dub was also absolutely atrocious, actually cannot stand the Czech dub it's the definition of how not to, dub ANYTHING lmfao) Damn i wish the 2016 movie was better... Franchises like Sly and Jak too deserve SO much more for how many copies were sold and also with how good the games ARE I feel so unappreciated as a fan with how they left us on read like that :( On a positive note though, still faithful for the future! The games, community, all the Art are and will remain amazing and it's bound to be recognized again eventually!

I never clicked on a video faster than this one lol

VTNVIVI has been covering this for years, I'm excited to see what you have to offer!

2:47 Oh Hi Coconuts from AOSTH, Glitch Bob from ReBoot and Cheetor from Beast Wars.

I have a feeling that there may have been a miscommunication between who ever was in charge of Rainmaker or Sony’s marketing team and the actual production crew who made the pitch. Someone who probably didn’t know much about how animated movies are made probably thought they were much further along in the production process than they actually were and so someone on the marketing team thought it was a good idea to take this pitch, slap a release year on it and then release it online without actually knowing if the film was finished or not

Mainframe Studios 'Formerly Rainmakers' will never have a Sly Cooper film or a TV series.

Hey Carter here Great video Can’t believe the original trailer came out 10 years agooo

Sly Cooper is one of the greatest things to ever hit cartoon/animation/videogames. I've always wondered what happened to this film. The Sly Cooper Franchise is Art.

Im really glad you talked about this topic because I wad fully resigned to the thought of “sly is dead”. Which may still be true, but its good to know people are still talking and active about my favorite Playstation exclusive game series.

Thanks for making this vid, ever since I saw the “trailer” back in the day, i have wondered what happened to the film. Keep up the great work.

It's so sad that this movie got cancelled but this movie deserved to gets revived like the cancelled 2016 Popeye movie Sly Cooper deserved his own movie since Mario have his own movie, Sonic have his own movies, Ratchet and Clank have their own movie, Lara Croft have her own movies, the Angry Birds have their own movies, Freddy Fazbear have his own movie, the Pokémon franchise have his own movies, the Mortal Kombat franchise have his own movies and all the popular video games series have their own movies

Even tho I missed out on the games... I would LOVE to see a Sly Cooper movie~

There was a Crash Bandicoot cartoon announced before it got canned?! Disgraceful!

I'm glad you are making videos about other games besides Spyro and Crash i hope you have more

i was 13 when the trailer dropped :,)

I'd love a Sly movie or even a TV show but I'd like to finally see Sly 5 even more like Sony plis make Sly 5, it's been over 10 years since Sly 4 and we're hungry for more Sly - in fact speaking of 10 years, it's also been 10 years since Rayman Legends, and I also want a new game in that series but at least Rayman showed up in Sparks of Hope

Really hope PlayStation Productions revives the Sly Cooper Movie/TV Show. If it’s a Sly Cooper Movie, make it in the Spider-Verse Animation Style. If it’s a Sly Cooper TV Show, make it in a Cel-Shaded Animation Style with Comic Book-esque Aspects and inspiration from the Sonic Prime Show. Still hope Sly Cooper returns.

Great content, per usual! I was never a sly fan growing up, but I’d give it a go if they gave it a remaster/remake with a fresh coat of paint

I would like to see a film adaptation of Sly at some point, but I'm glad that particular project didn't get approved. It probably wouldn't have turned out well.

If the Sly Cooper movie was real, or at least approved by Sony, than this could’ve actually kept the Sly series on life support much like how Ratchet & Clank did when their movie came out, and we could’ve gotten a tie in game that includes remade levels of the first Sly Cooper game, but on a PS4 budget. We could’ve possibly had to wait 5 or 6 years until a new Sly Cooper game just like we waited for Rift Apart for 5 or 6 years, and it could’ve been a launch title on the PS5, or a a cross play game that’s available on both the PS4 & PS5. Weather the supposed movie and/or it’s potential tie-in game gets well received or negatively hated is unclear. But if the movie pitch was turned down and became the cancelled show, than the cancelled Sly series would’ve still kept the franchise going, even if the games didn’t get a new installment by the time this show would’ve aired.

As a fan of The Sly Cooper series, I was greatly saddened when the movie was pretty much indefinitely on hold. When I heard no news about anything happening, I got even more scared that the series was pretty much dead. Then when they had news that it was being switched to an animated series, I got hope. But, as things happened, we ended up where we are now where we don't know if there's anything actually happening with Sly Cooper or any of the other previously preempted or speculated Sony sort of mascot movies. To this day I still wonder about the Spyro the Dragon movie that allegedly had a poster. I know with that, universal should still have some rights to the series. If this is the case, they already hit it out of the park with the Mario movie. Universal should team up with Activision and either illumination or DreamWorks does an animated Spyro film. However, Sony animation could also do the same thing since they have been hitting it out of the park with some of their animated films. Also, since Spider-Man is their big Cash Cow right now, they could quite literally do something similar for some of their stronger IP. All this is making me wish that we get more Nintendo stuff and also more Sony stuff that's animated and video game related in the future. For all intensive purposes, we could see some of these things finally be made. Hopefully.

I never saw it as a full on Trailer but more a sorta Tech Demo for if there could be a movie, actually feel it was a Trailer but for when a movie does come and likely re-used if it happens because the big thing regardless of what I see it as is there's no date for it coming.

Hey I'm new to your channel. Have you ever talked about the Spyro movie? I remember as a kid seeing the Spyro movie poster and freaking out only to have my hopes dashed

16:35 Sly 5 would be cool but I'd settle for Sly 1-4 on modern hardware. Still too bad they're stuck on the Ps2 & Ps3 respectively.

Sony has a whole animated film production wing that made the Spider-Verse movies. They absolutely could have produced a Sly Cooper movie, but they got cold feet because the Ratchet & Clank movie was mediocre and underperformed. Kevin Munroe also directed the 2007 TMNT movie, which was very cool and stylized, his Sly Cooper movie could have been awesome. Such a shame, and such a wasted opportunity.

We should ask the "Blender Donut Guy" to make the Sly movie. He has more experience than anyone 🤣

Wow...I originally thought that the movie was canceled due to the Ratchet & Clank movie flopping (which I honestly didn't think was that bad of a movie, but was still not the best). This is very interesting stuff and now things make more sense. I would like to see a Sly Cooper movie, if it's done well.

I remember seeing this trailer in the theaters years ago, but then never heard another word about it.

Can you imagine if Will Smith had voiced Crash in a late 90s CGI movie?

I could make a sly cooper racing game triology

Is this also what happened with that spyro movie? We didn't get a trailer, but we did get a poster. Then...nothing.

I really hope we get more Sly Cooper content. It’s the best game ever and I’d love a movie!

We NEED Sly Cooper back

Even if it was a mid movie I still would have loved it, any publicity for a franchise like Sly makes me happy.

Almost sounds like they were trying to force Sony's hand

I think it got cancelled but im pretty sure the twitter is still up

Too good.

The reveal of a potential Sly Cooper movie left me with mixed feelings…because although I love the franchise, this felt very…off.

Our raccoon boy has been hurt for too long

If you ask me they pulled a pre ugly sonic. And since transformers one trailer came out today still have hope.

Rainmaker hasn't made a hit or anything big since Reboot and I guess Transformers Beast Wars due to their awful executive control in recent years so it isn't surprising how both the released Ratchet and Clank movie and the unreleased Sly Cooper movie was handled. Also I find it hard to believe the view count let alone watch time for CGE's content here is as low as it is given his sub count, it's either a KZfaq problem with the video not dropping in their Subs or a user problem.

Don't, don't do that! Don't give me hope!!

I've been going on KZfaq every day, hoping for an update on the Sly Cooper movie, and so far, nothing.

I actually really liked the Ratchet and Clank movie

So now we could say that at least they didnt had the chance to mess Jak and Daxter up as well. Or maybe they were about to do that just a bit....

So the sly cooper movie could get released

Yeah the Deadpool pitch was “leaked” 🤣🤣

There’s going to be a Jak & Daxter movie? I hope that means we get another Jak game. Either that or a remake/remaster of the game(s).

They have should've did a ty the tasmanian tiger movie

at 14:06 should've been Nathan Drake's face. No one except for sony OG giga chad legends plays the awesome Jak games.

Guessing The Ratchet & Clank Movie sort of bombed And the Developers didn’t want to repeat the same Mistake with Sly Cooper Yet other how Sky Cooper could have made a Difference and more positive reinforcements That could have been made but how ?

I was wondering where the hell this movie went. I remember that trailer and then absolutely nothing.

The word you're looking for is adaptation.

16:21 Is it adaptation or adaption? 🤔

Deadpool was actually leaked by ryan renolds himself he said as much, maybe he was goofing but it seemed like he was being genuine, he is an actor tho 😂

So the so called movie teaser trailer might as well should have been a prank. It was downright misleading. That explains everything.

So if we all start spaming sony with emails demanding results like how ppl down when they are pissed off on tik tok could we get a movie ?

When are ever happy? People like that are they say fandoms like the for Star Wars are toxic and just plain the worst fans ever. They shouldn’t feed into them it just makes things worse.

They need to make that and a new game!

Thank you, Emoji Movie.

If the Ratchet and Clank was good we most likely would have gotten a Sly Cooper movie

The "trailer" was even dubbed in Italian. So i was REALLY in hype for the movie back in 2014. Then suddenly without warning, PUFF ... it all disappeared in a cloud of dust And now i know why

I’m sorry There is No Sly Cooper Movie there is nothing that can’t do about it 😔 Nobody can’t

We need a Sly Cooper 5!

it was never going to happen ever, the IP isn't profitable enough

after how the uncharted movie turned out i really don't have much faith in that jak and daxter film

So it was all a trick to convince Sony to make the movie

Give it back to Sucker Punch

Ratchet abd clank movie went woke got broke. If only they stuck to the original story.

Just give it back to suckerpunch....the series has never been right sense they left it to the wrong hands

Canned ,cause ratchet and clank flopped

I gave up on Sony and moved on to Xbox and Nintendo.

*adaptation

Why doesn’t he just play video games instead of worry about a video game from way back that does not have a movie his channel is only 4k better off than wumpa Lewis who started only five years ago on crash wtf has happened to this guy I use to like his channel but since 2020 really down hill
