Animal Crossing movie trailer News • News • Eurogamer.net

News GameCube DS Wii MMO

Now available for viewing.

A new trailer for the forthcoming Animal Crossing movie has popped up on the Internet.

As previously announced, the movie is being helmed by Japanese director Jouji Shimura and should hit cinemas over there in December. The trailer's not very long, unfortunately, but it'll at least give you a taste of what to expect.

A new website for the movie has also been launched - though you'll need a working knowledge of Japanese to make any sense of it, sadly.

There's still no word as to whether the Animal Crossing movie will make it to Europe, but we reckon there's a reasonable chance what with the game having sold stupidly well over here.

how on earth are they going to make a movie of a game where it's all random with no single goal and coonstantly expanding.

I hope they don't cast anyone to do anyone's voice and stick to the yapping voices from the game.

That would be so cool! The animals all talking in animalese, subtitled, of course, with the protagonists just looking very awkward/drugged, silent all the time. (Sometimes answering direct questions via telepathy.)

The amount of times my sister has left that game on, only for the battery to run out then when she turns it on that bloody mole pops up and she can't get past it only for her to moan to me about it, then i moan because i can't get the mole to PISS OFF and then miraculously after hours of attempting, it buggers off.

/anger vented out.

I swear if that mole makes a comeback in the movie... *shakes fist*

Exactly, Animal Crossing is maybe the absolute worst game to make a film out of as it has no plot whatsoever. Something like Metroid Prime or Phoenix Wright would make way more sense.

If Hornsby was in it I think my wife would freak out (in a good way). Schnozzle.

The annoying part of it is, the movie is clearly aimed at the lunch pail and knickers crowd. And the several million people who have played the game? I'm guessing an average age of 26. Ah well.

Hold up... subtitles require reading, and i don't think that the age group Animal Crossing was originally inteded for have the ability to read subtitles for a whole 90 mins....

If your old enough to be in this comments section you're too old be be playing Animal Crossing.
