[@MikeDragon]

To be honest... I'd rather have the Spyro movie that could have flopped rather than Skylanders. Nothing against the games themselves, though. But that character they call Spyro? That's not Spyro, at all. And Skylanders are not Spyro games. They don't even feature Spyro's name in the title. Only the first game had it and it was only a subtitle. This obviously is just my own personal opinion, but to me, the last Spyro game was _The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon_ , which despite criticism from more "die-hard" fans of the original trilogy, is a Spyro game. Definitely far more of a Spyro game than any of the Skylanders games, on the very least.

[@VtnVivi]

If the movie had flopped, Activision would have COMPLETELY pulled the plug on Spyro. Spyro still remained active, but not in way fans would have appreciated. Thanks for sharing!

[@couragew6260]

Its because most video games don't give a whole lot of character Development And give the player more gameplay. Most videogames rely more game wise then story wise. So with such little character to work with and a limited amount of time to show a true character in a movie (most movies average about 1 hour 30 minutes)compared to a TV series most producers have to come up with what they know from the games which is a small amount to begin with . Except the ratchet and clank movie. That game had definitely enough character development for the writers to work with so I don't know how the frick they messed it up.

[@Katzumix3]

This is probably the closest we'll ever get: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6XCZYyZodd6p68 Story behind this is back when Naughty Dog was making the first Crash Bandicoot game they made these as a potential intro and ending to the game. The reason why it was never incorporated is because Sony wanted to push the fact that this game was 3D (since it was still new back then. We're talking 1996) and so these scenes never got into the game. They're still nice to watch nowadays though to see just what could've been :) Enjoy!

[@VtnVivi]

It could have! If not, Activision would have pulled the plug completely on Spyro.

[@CollinAtlee]

This would be interesting if this movie happened, and I totally understand about how it will end up being a possible flop. But throughout the years, I’ve haven’t been playing much Spyro games since the first one back in the early 2000s, and the time the Legend of Spyro series were happening. I didn’t pay much attention to the Spyro games that much, I was just too busy dealing with school, and just playing random stuff on the Computer, and for the record, I wasn’t aware if there was a possible Legend of Spyro Film in the works. Right until 2011, during Movie previews of Arthur Christmas, I saw the First animated Skylanders trailer, featuring Spyro, and I find it interesting to the new series. I started to build a relationship to the Skylanders Series, by Drawing a ton of art(which me and dad send to the creators, and they loved it, while they sent back some Skylanders merchandise), buying the actual game, and the book series. Then since 2015, I made a first Spyro Animation with Spyro(although in his Skylanders Design), along with his old and modern friends. I started to make even more Skylanders animations in 2016, the time when the Skylanders TV Show was in the works, and I was excited with it. But by the day, it premiered, I wasn’t thrilled how it turned out. The developers made a lot of changes which I’m not comfortable with, especially of how they portrayed Spyro. They made him act like a Smug, making him doing things that doesn’t feel like what Spyro usually does from his original games, especially nabbing a cadet’s phone and took a picture of his Scaly Butt. And as of that, I currently starting to not watch the show, and just throw away the Skylanders merchandise the creators gave me, in the Trash. But I’m still torn with series. Since 2018 I made a animation which includes Spyro(Still in his Skylanders Design), with his true original personality than the one in Skylanders Academy, as somewhat a tribute to his original games which includes a mention to Sparx and Cynder. But for now on, I no longer have an interest in Skylanders, no matter how it evolves, and Activision might have some possible plans of making a Skylanders Film, which makes me picture they might make Spyro a Spoiled Smug again. So I just continue liking the original Spyro the more currently, and just somewhat forget his egotistical portrayal in skylanders :(

I was hyped for this movie back in the day, and was crushed with disappointment when it was cancelled. I was fully aware of why it was cancelled too, so you can imagine how pissed off I was when I found out what Activision killed the movie for. But now that I am older, I can look back and realize that the movie was probably not going to be any good. Really, I don't think I'd want to watch an hour and a half of that weird CGI Spyro face on the big screen. But I still hate what they used Spyro for.

Well......they did get the lore from Legend of Spyro and put it in Skylanders Cynder, Sparx, the fact that the earth is in little island bits because of his sacrifice in "Dawn of the Dragon".....(by the way, he isn't dead because every 10 generations, a purple dragon is born, he is like a Phoneix, he can die but he becomes a part of nature until he is resurrected. Spyro is immortal and it's been explained in the trilogy)......the fact that the purple dragon will lead everyone to a new age (which he does in the game, and show), Malefor is back, the Dark Master is back, he turns Spyro into Dark Spyro, and he hears his ancestors (who Ignitus wouldn't shut up about) I'd say in terms of lore, they did a good job, the problem is they tried to make a sequel and a new game.......

[@hcsp1]

OMG I remember hearing about this and actually thinking this will come out! Yeah, imagine the dissapointment of 17 year old me(Was supposed to come out around my birthday, actually) when it was cancelled. I will say that if there's one Spyro continuity that should be adapted to the big screen, it's the 'Legend of Spyro' one since there's more to do with its plot and characters. I do remember however seeing this poster and thinking Spyro looks way too old, but that may have been just the angle. I'm not sure how well this would do in terms of box office, but I don't think critics would like it for the sole reason the story may have been too simillar to other films, thus making it just 'another by-thenumbers' kids movie to them. I could be wrong, and seeing how this movie may not be happenning at all, we may never know if I'm wrong but based on 'Ratchet and Clank' I'm assuming this would have been the case. I DO recall Elijah Wood saying he's not sure about reprising Spyro in the film, which was later confirmed that he would be in the film. Seeing how the games had some celebrities in their voice cast, it would make sense the movie would have some star power to it(Espacially if Gary Oldman was attached). As for the entire thing about Video Game Movies not doing well in the box office, that's not entierly an advertising fault. The problem with these movies was mostly that they were too different from the source metrial('Tomb Raider' if I remember this borefest correctly), causing people who liked the game to be annoyed which will lead to people who aren't fans to think 'Well, if he likes the game but not the movie, I have no business watching it(Happened to me with 'Doom'). But then there's the other way around where the movie is really loyal to the game so that newcommers are confused('Ratchet and Clank'). What would Spyro be? We don't know... Man, I need to work on my post length...

[@VtnVivi]

I too had heard that Elijah Wood had reprised his role. It's entirely due to advertising, but it does play a major part. The more people are aware, the more tickets sold during the first weekend. If reviews are great, it'll add even more within the first few weeks.

[@thatboringone7851]

TLoS might have actually worked for a movie adaption- it was story heavy, and much of the appeal was the environments and music. Game adaptions tend to be hard because you can't translate grind-ey/explore-ey gameplay with little being said or done to an interesting viewing experience, it's something you have to interact with for it to work. TLoS was just short enough, had just enough separation between story and gameplay, and had just the right appeal to work in a movie with some minor plot tweaks. I still hope that somewhere along the line they consider making a Spyro movie similar to what TLoS might have been. I mean, I thought the environments were scenery porn back then, imagine what they could do if they went for something similar now?

I saw a trailer for this in like 2009, I can't find it now, weird.

[@VtnVivi]

There was never an official trailer though?

[@hypnotised-clover]

@@VtnVivi I saw it on television, RTÉ 1, my sister was so happy to see it, but then she cried when she discovered it was not going to be released and my family still joke about it with her now. Everybody online says there was never a trailer, but I saw one, which is weird.

[@shadowdragon236]

Since most Video Game movies failed, I'll say that it'll probably fail since making a Movie based on games never really work. Guess it was a good idea that the Spyro Movie wasn't made

[@VtnVivi]

Well said.

[@skalessibbons7349]

I want it to be made. Then the Guardians will not be captured by a hatchling. Cynder is an alright character. They play a part in her defeat. Maybe she can take a bit of blood during each fight to free Malefor. Also can the Guardians kill the golem in the third film?

[@afonsopata5272]

The new intro is amazing!!

[@VtnVivi]

Glad you like it :D

[@artishmaelwilliams8081]

Oh yeah, that was harsh.

[@Tb55555]

I actually think that the movie would do OK if it was made. Yeah sure The Legend of Spyro had exploration, but it was never the gameplay that got people interested. It was the story of the game, gameplay-wise the games were critically acclaimed, and even I can agree that the controls of the games were, a little wonky. However, the game was more focused on the story than anything else, which could’ve caused the movie to at the very least not be as big of a flop as other video game movies.

[@VtnVivi]

Wouldn't the same be said for other franchises? It all comes down to how the script is handled.

[@Tb55555]

VTNVIVI Not really. In those other games there were unique and fun gameplay features which because it was a movie, got removed and eventually made them less fun. However, The Legend of Spyro was never praised for unique or fun gameplay. It was mainly praised because of the story, design, acting and characters. One major reason video game movies become flops is because you lose the fun gameplay elements of the actual game. The TLoS trilogy however had gameplay that wasn’t that interesting, and was more of an obstacle to get to see the next part of the story than anything else.

[@VtnVivi]

Spyro is currently in the hands of Activision. Insomniac has not made a Spyro game since Year of the Dragon.

[@Kibaoftheleaves]

Thank GOD this movie never happened. Everything about it sounds like it was going to be terrible.

[@VtnVivi]

Perhaps.

[@1stpltpkmnTR]

I don't really like movies, but I think I would have preferred a movie that flopped to a soulless continuation where the main character loses significance past the first game. However it's hard to say how it would have played out. Would it affect the possibility for classic remasters that are rumoured around now? And hey, if it were mildly successful, maybe it could have continued and kept the games alive for the better. Still, those are what ifs. All I'm praying for are those rumoured classic remasters and vainly wishing for legend of remasters too. I'm a nut for games with a good world and fair impact on my childhood, what can I say?

[@VtnVivi]

As you said, would this have affected the fate of Spyro? Skylanders kept Spyro alive in a way, and now they are considering a remake.

[@1stpltpkmnTR]

Ehh, I disagree. Spyro hardly had a presence in Skylanders past the first game, and I'd argue they're only considering a remake because Skylanders' sales are now declining, provided they even are considering a remake.

[@Theagentofchaos-r5q]

@@1stpltpkmnTRskylanders was a new ip and that is not Spyros franchise and skylanders kelp Spyro alive and saved his name

[@nenissaK]

Probably it's better no movie was made - skylanders made money and it's still possible for ok sequels of SPYRO (not skylanders) to be made (maybe soon, maybe in the distant future, but it IS possible). The movie maybe would have been nothing extra to LOS series.

[@VtnVivi]

I see!

[@nenissaK]

Amazing how I found about Spyro (which I didn't have in any form as a kid) right now, and I'm 22, and I love both the new and the original series -- to me Spyro is the best character so far in video games (talkin' about the real deal _IP_ people!). Why? Because dragons, voice acting, original and cute and funny as hell quirky dotted dragon and as well as for the LOS story Spyro etc, all the facial expressions and dialogues... but have I still played them? No. Time to make a change I guess!

[@NaterBaiterGamer]

Video game movies are usually cancelled because the companies would find it risky for the video games to maintain a good reputation to the fans and other people. I finally saw the Ratchet and Clank Movie, and it was a very nice film, I don't get why it was a box office bomb, it's just a real shame for Rainmaker Entertainment. A real loss was losing the movie Ascendant of the Divergent movie series, I was really looking forward to that.

[@VtnVivi]

Blame the advertising department.

[@iVenture01]

Spyro and halo 3 movie was cancelled in 2007 :'( my most adored stories of all time

Well look at it this way, video game movies tend to suck :P

[@GabsARV]

*Continuously hits head on the table* 😒😒😒

[@jogamingandvlogs5437]

If it would've happened. It would've failed REALLY BAD! And a Crash Bandicoot movie would've been WAAAAAYYYYYY smarter! Plus,it's also really more popular. Note:Skylanders is basically dying,as well as the show itself. So,it's definitely possible that Activision could/should make the Spyro trilogy. They could call it Spyro:The fire-breathing trilogy. (for example. 😅)

[@VtnVivi]

Video game movies just flop nowadays.

[@nufiethenoobie5748]

I hope that they remake the legend of spyro games 1 and 2 and 3

[@VtnVivi]

We never know :)

[@gustyko8668]

No, the movie wasn't cancelled because Skylanders, it was cancelled because of "Spyro's Kingdom" and edgy/gory mmo about dragons.

[@VtnVivi]

+Gustavo Barría Chavarría That's something I might discuss eventually. Spyro's Kingdom was the original concept, it just evolved into Skylanders.

[@DoomguyIsGrinningAtYou.]

Granted, and bloody MMO with dragons could be a cool concept, buuut spyro really has no place in that.

[@autbo]

If Activision were to reconsider the Legend of Spyro film, I think it would make the most sense to create an animated show instead and release the episodes on Netflix, Cartoon Network, or maybe even the Disney Channel or who knows what. It just doesn't make sense to create a multi-million budget film of a series most non-gamers have little to no interest in. A lower-budget animated show would make the most sense.

[@VtnVivi]

Hey I mean look at Sly Cooper! They decided to go with a TV show instead.

[@MythicSuns]

the reason most video game movies fail at least 98% of the time is because the studios don't take video games seriously

[@dragon19954]

Would still love to know how the story would have been, so yeah at least to see the script

[@VtnVivi]

The script exactly!

[@dragon19954]

Then perhaps I would decide if the movie was a good idea or a bad idea...and not only basing myself on the assumption that videogame movies are bad

[@petereckmann3896]

Well... to be honest. I'am partly happy to Activision canceld the Spyro moovie. I'm a huge fan of Spyro, but I know videogame moovies are allways fail. Yes yes I know Skylanders is... (sorry don't wat to swear), but this game kept alive Spyro and Cynder's name. Spyro's life still not so easy, but! way better than Crash's life. AND, I hope, and realy, realy hope to Spyro got the remaster trilogy as Crash, and reborn this legend on the PS4!

[@VtnVivi]

Yes you have a point, Skylanders still kept Spyro active. If the movie had flopped, they would have pulled the plug completely.

[@ShadowDragon-cw7wb]

Likely, this movie was doomed from the start because Activision was already planning Skylanders or at least a different direction for Spyro under the noses of Sierra when they were making Dawn of the Dragon.

[@Theagentofchaos-r5q]

No it had the same writers as norm of the north

[@NaterBaiterGamer]

I feel bad for Rainmaker Entertainment😩😩😩

[@ShadowDeathBlade93]

I still love The Legend of Spyro & old Spyro game franchises, but that would be cool. Activision has their time in the world to decide what to do next just like other companies including two shooter franchises Doom from Id software & Half-Life or Left 4 Dead from Valve. So many companies that some people can't keep track of they're going to do next.

[@tabreezsiddique]

0:00 - I am somewhat surprised that you would decide to talk about this. :/ 0:18 - I can't remember where I heard it from first but it was in the 107 facts video and I think it's possible that even TGX had talked about it in that hour long video on his journey with the series. 1:05 - But everything you just said actually describes the story of the Legend Of Spyro Trilogy! I am really surprised you know all this. :/ 1:21 - And SPOILERS: they both die in the end. 2:13 - I'd say the exact same thing as the trilogy on PS2-PS3. 3:04 - It did for me but not in my usual theater, instead it was in Odeon cinema in Streathem for just £11.00. 3:54 - I liked how you just whispered that! XD 5:08 - Well here's the thing; this movie was going to be based on The Legend Of Spyro Trilogy (at least I think since it has the same name) which did do better then the games before it but nowhere to surpass the original trilogy made by Insomniac Games. I think it's most likely that they wanted the new trilogy of games to do god before going forth with the movie. 5:37 - I've only known the series for 9 months at this point but even without being a fan to the series, this movie looked like something I wouldn't mind watching myself. 5:48 - Personally from someone who has never played The Legend Of Spyro Trilogy but only seen people do it; I'd prefer the movie over the games since from what I've heard, the only good thing about those games would just be the story. 6:24 - Is Crash anywhere in it? 6:38 - Maybe TGX can help since he's more acquainted with the series then you or I. 6:51 - Oh yeah I forgot that Spyro at some point in the trilogy turns dark, both figuratively and literally. 7:15 - If it's based on The Legend Of Spyro Trilogy then I doubt it. :P 8:03 - But if they do remake the classic Spyro games and then go for this movie, won't they just clash with one another since they both have completely different styles. 8:41 - Always happy to watch. :)

[@AlessandroCussino]

Sad story guys ... sad story.

[@VtnVivi]

Maybe it would've flopped.

[@TsuriaDragon]

If they had made the movie it probably would of failed the writers don’t put it enough effort to tell a really good story with videogames could they do it now? Possible seeing as the skylanders academy is doing well it could be done right but will it be like Legend of Spyro??? Seeing as DOTD wasn’t good as the previous two story wise. I wish they would remake the games but change how the story play out in DOTD there was still a lot to be answered. Dark spyro?, the possibilities of there being many them one purple dragon, etc.

[@VtnVivi]

Agreed! It was for the best seeing as how video game movies flop all the time. True, Academy is doing fine and Activision might consider a movie this time around. As for remakes, I think the first three on PS1 are on their list at the moment.
