Completely not what I meant! As far as I know, there has never been a decent game based of a movie. I'd imagine a movie based on a game wouldn't be any better!

Well, then you havent seen the animal crossing movie (it's animated) AND WONDERFUUUUUUUUUUL!

Also the professor layton movie kicked decent behind too.

I probably should have added "Live action". Animations shouldn't leave the paper.

I meant things like the Tekken movie and Dragonball Evolution.

An Animal Crossing movie sounds ridiculous!
