Is Sock Monkey the Next Toy Headed to the Big Screen?
Taking classic toys, cartoons, and games and turning them into modern movie properties is all the rage -- the Transformers got their own action franchise, 'The LEGO Movie' was a huge hit, 'Ouija' became a horror film aimed at teens, and a 'Paddington' film is on the way. There will even soon be films based on Tetris and Minecraft. But here's a different kind of potential movie star for you, a legitimate tried and true classic: Sock Monkey. Based on the upcoming storybook installment 'Sock Monkey: Into the Deep Woods' from comics writer Tony Millionaire, animator Matt Danner has delivered a concept teaser to introduce the world to the cinematic potential of Uncle Gabby.
