A live-action movie based on the iconic animatronic ’80s toy Teddy Ruxpin is in the works at Amazon MGM Studios, Variety has learned. 

The film about Teddy Ruxpin, who is canonically not a bear, but a bear-like creature known as an “illiop,” is set to be produced by Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions and Dmitri M. Johnson and Michael Lawrence Goldberg’s Story Kitchen with Chris Hazzard and Mike Fontana writing the script.

While details about the film are being kept under wraps, sources tell Variety the project — which was won by Amazon in a competitive bidding war — was pitched with a “‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ meets ‘Elf’” tone.
