Sly Cooper
Teaser Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Sly Cooper (The Thief), Murray (The Muscle), and Bentley (The Brains). Carmelita Fox, who should have made a cameo, is MIA.
Scene Pop: The first time hearing Sly's new voice actor (poor Kevin Miller).
Briggs Breakdown: Sly displays many of his signature thief moves including the rail walk, the rail slide, the ninja spire jump, and the hook swing.
Effective?: Like the now infamous Frozen teaser, this is designed to be just a short film. It kinda falls apart at the very end because it's not made perfectly clear what caused the concluding police chase. For those who need help, it's because Sly went into the police station to steal their donuts. Hardy har har. Didn't Joel and the Bots killed that comedy joke forever after signing a contract?
Check it Out?: Yes. I'm a huge fan of the video game series, so the prospect of an animated film series makes me want to pull a Daniel Bryan. Apparently, this will be an adaptation of the first game's story, where Sly seeks to recover a family relic from a pack of thieves who left him an orphan. Judging from the animation and the character movement, TMNT came straight to my mind, which was an excellent pick because this is being directed by the same guy, Kevin Munroe. At first, the new character designs are a bit off-putting but they end up being a worthy change. This of course comes right after last year's surprise announcement of a Ratchet & Clank movie for 2015. Will Jak and Daxter be popping up in the future?
