Outfit7 has teamed up with Mythology Entertainment to bring its Talking Tom and Friends digital brand to theaters.

The film will either be fully animated or a combination of live-action/animation targeted to family audiences.

The first "Talking Tom" app was launched four years ago, and the franchise has grown exponentially since, recently marking its 2 billionth download.

“Two billion is an incredible triumph. We’re beyond proud that our Talking Tom and Friends cast of characters has brought so much joy, laughter and smiles to people across the globe,” says Samo Login, founder and chief executive officer, Outfit7, who will executive produce the movie. “The new film we are producing with Mythology Entertainment adds a whole new level of excitement and momentum for our brands that will enable fans of all ages to connect with our characters in a whole new way."
