“Teddy Ruxpin” Film & TV Series Planned

Following the success of their screen adaptations of “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Tomb Raider,” DJ2 Entertainment has reportedly acquired rights to the iconic 1980s animatronic plush teddy bear toy Teddy Ruxpin.

Plans are to develop the character for the big and small screen adaptations, though development is in the early stages. Discussions are underway with potential writers at present.

According to The Live Feed, the goal is to launch with a possible hybrid live-action/animated film before expanding to an animated series. A previous cartoon adaptation in 1986 ran for two seasons.
