A beloved 2022 video game is being turned into a movie – and it’s a purr-fect choice
The cat’s out the bag: Stray is being turned int𝔍o a mo🦹vie

I come bearing good mews: Stray, the ♒a-paw-able 2022 stealth adventure which sees 🌳you play as a stray cat, is being turned into an animated movie.
has revealed that the project ꧅is currently in the works at Annapurna Animation.
Robert Baird, co-head at the animation studio, has teased the premise for the adaptation, which features the player-controlled cat later team up with a robot call🍰ed B-12 in a desolate futuristic world without humans.
"This is a game that's all about what makes us human, and there are no humans in it," Baird explained. "It's a buddy comedy about a cat and a robot, and there's such a hilarious dynamic. So, there's comedy inherent in this, but there's not one human being in this movie. I think it's one of the rea🔴sܫons why the game was incredibly popular, that you are seeing the world through the point of view of an adorable cat.”
While animated movies without humans are nothing new – Pixar has cornered the market on everything from anthropomorphic monsters to elements – Baird reveals thaꦜt the (mostly) non-verbal element is going to be key to Stray's success.
"How did they pull that off, and how are we going to pull that off in th🎉e movie? We will, even though sometimes it feels impossible, but we know that's the essence of the game and the key to telling theꦑ story," Baird says.
He🍃 also coins♏ the term "hopepunk" – optimism despite resistance – for the upcoming project, which is currently undated.

"I think, if we ar💎e going to do this adaptation justice, this is going to be the first and greatest hopepunk movie that's ev𓄧er been made," Baird says.
