Following hot on the heels of Hasbro, Mattel has announced they are creating their own movie studio.
So that means that there’s likely going to be Hot Wheels and Barbie movies but, pretty excitingly, there will also likely be He-Man and Thundercats movies.
Come on, tell me you wouldn’t throw down serious money to see He-Man meet the Thundercats:
Mattel Chairman and CEO Ynon Kreiz said: “Mattel is home to one of the world’s greatest portfolios of beloved franchises, and the creation of Mattel Films will allow us to unlock significant value across our IP.
“Robbie is a gifted storyteller and a highly respected filmmaker with deep relationships in entertainment. She is the perfect leader to bring our celebrated brands to life.”
Mattel Films will be headed by Oscar-nomated producer Robbie Brenner: “Generations of children around the world have grown up with deep emotional connections to Mattel’s brands and characters. There are so many stories to be told and so many imaginations to be captured by these iconic brands, and I look forward to working with Ynon and his team to do so.”
We are officially stoked for this!
