One of the fastest-growing animation studios in the world is taking on another daunting challenge. Kicking off with the Despicable Me franchise and then branching out to make the Minions movies, Illumination has been able to make a mark on the industry rather quickly.
The Grinch movie and the upcoming Super Mario Bros Movie are their latest ventures, but they are not stopping there.
Sources close to Giant Freakin Robot claim that teams at Illumination are working hard to develop an animated The Legend of Zelda movie. Fans are hoping the first cinematic adaptation of the Nintendo franchise stays faithful to its original source and makes it onto the big screen.
It's surprising how long it has taken for this to happen, given how the video game franchise is perceived by the public. But this isn't going to be the first attempt at an adaptation, with a 13-episode 1989 animated series already in place. The show was not well received, mostly due to the action being loosely based on the events of the first game.
