Sega veteran and the company's current COO and president, Shuji Utsumi, once pitched an idea for a Crash Bandicoot movie but was met with the thankfully now antiquated perception of video games being no more than silly li'l toys.
"When I started to get involved in the video game business, I picked up Crash Bandicoot and started asking some of the movie studios if they were interested in turning that property into a movie," Utsumi told The Game Business. "But I was treated like… 'hey, video games is like a toy business'. They didn't really take it seriously."
