The Monkey Island Movie We Never Got

Few video game franchises are as revered as Monkey Island. The point-and-click adventure series began all the way back in 1990, becoming a prime example of the genre. Its story, puzzle design, and humor are still beloved to this day. It’s that kind of success that inspired the pitch to turn it into a feature film at Industrial Light & Magic.
This is the story of that movie pitch, the game that inspired it, and the pieces that were left after it never saw the light of day. Believe it or not, we are able to see the entire storyboard sequence for the game, letting us imagine what might have been. There are also some misconceptions about other franchises, namely Pirates of the Caribbean, being tied to this shelved idea.
The latest game in the franchise (and the first in more than a decade) is Return to Monkey Island, which inspired us to go back and dig this story up. If you want to play it for yourself, it’s available on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. The rest of the games, including the Special Editions, are also available on Steam.
