Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment have declared that a Sly Cooper CG-animated film is coming in 2016.
Hollywood Producer Brad Foxhoven says "Sly Cooper is a kinetic and the comedic heist movie that tells the story of Sly Cooper, an orphaned raccoon stealer, along with his childhood friends and partners in crime, Bentley Turtle and Murray Hippo. In this movie, Sly learns of his birth family’s secret bequest; that he comes from a long line of talented and international thieves. Endowed with this knowledge, Sly and his friends are slung into a global adventure as they race to reassemble pieces of an ancient book holding The Cooper Clan’s family secrets before it can fall under the hands of Clockwerk an evil Russian metallic owl bent on ending the Cooper family line. From romantic Parisian backdrops to the lush mountains of China, gritty film noir meets bright, colorful graphic novels in this origin story of the world’s biggest thief-turned-hero."

Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
