The Toys R Us Movie

The Toys "R" Us Movie (stylized as The ToysЯUs Movie; alternatively known as The Chronicles of Geoffrey's Toy Box) is an upcoming 2019 American animated musical comedy adventure family film created by the toy retailer Toys "R" Us as its first animated feature film. The film serves as a tribute to the company that officially got out of business after it went bankrupt and sold all 800 of its US stores on June 29, 2018. However, the store is set to re-open this Christmas which meant the plot changed.

Synopsis
Geoffrey the Giraffe lives in and works at the world's biggest and greatest toy store, Toys "R" Us, the toy store that is located in his hometown, the city of Imaginationtopia, where every toy in the store comes to life. Geoffrey has been the owner of that store for 16 years after his father ran it since 1957. But since the Toys "R" Us stores in the United States and outside of Canada are now gone, and when an evil and insane businessman plans to buy Toys "R" Us, so he can shut it down for good and replace it with a new office supply store called "All Work, No Play", it's up to Geoffrey and his friends to band together, defeat the businessman, and save the company.

Development
In March 2018, during the production of Eric Animations, the former voice of MCHB/Alban Nolan Massey wanted to do a Toys R Us film in honor of the beloved store that would soon shut down. That same month, he would declare that his company Slimeworks Studios would help with the film. Shortly after that, Jessica Finn signed on to be co-director and James Sharp also stepped in to direct the film with Mike Mitchell, John Musker, Ron Clements, Phil Lord, and Christopher Miller while Stephan Swaby signed in to be executive producer of the film. While Nolan, James, and Mason are developing and writing a script, which is in progress, Nolan's best friend, Zachery Thomas, who is the founder and CEO of Aniboy Entertainment, stepped in to help with the production of the film. That same month, Mason Price, also known as Mplaya3, also signed on to help with the script and be the film's executive producer.

During March, it was announced that Disney would help co-distribute the film as long as their toy brands star in the film. Later on, it was confirmed that Disney will help with the film.

On April 30, 2018, James Sharp announced that he will leave Idea Wiki for good due to the fact that he was blocked by Coolot1 for stealing Massey's upcoming project The Notorious 9 and changing it into an R-rated animated movie. Sharp was later removed from directing The Toys R Us Movie. A rumor is stated that Stephan Swaby will be in the director's chair replacing Sharp, and directing the film with Mike Mitchell. On May 6, 2018, Playmobil, Moose Toys, Hit Entertainment, and Mattel would be joining the production of the film. Disney was also centered on attention that day because a thread started talking about if Disney would be removed from the film or not. That same day LeniLoud99 signed on to help write the script. LeniLoud99 was promoted as the writer of the script the same day. So far, no other plot writer had signed up. Aidan signed on to help with the film, but it remains unknown to what he's going to be. On May 12, 2018, James Sharp apologized to Nolan and he forgave him. He will now be directing again.

On June 29, 2018, all Toys R Us stores in the United States and Puerto Rico were immediately closed for good, with Party City taking over the lots and buildings that were formerly occupied by Toys R Us. However, during that same month, Slimeworks Studios bought the character rights to Geoffrey the Giraffe and is now home to the Slimeworks Family. The film will eventually continue, even with the stores gone forever. However, a Toys "R" Us will remain open for the film but only for a few weeks. The location is unknown.

On the same day, Leni Loud joined the voice cast. Leni will voice Geoffrey the Giraffe's wife who appeared in an early Toys "R" Us Christmas television commercial. Leni will also provide her voice for Emily from Thomas & Friends. She would also provide Princess Luna's singing voice.

During late September, Mason left Idea Wiki but his name will still be credited for helping with the film. That same month it was announced that Geoffrey will have a son.

Around October, it was announced that Aidan will be leaving the project due to being unrealized about it and losing interest. That same month it was announced that Toys "R" Us would be coming back under a new relaunch and probably a new name called Geoffrey's Toy Box.

On January 7, 2019, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that they will no longer be working on the movie under Warner Animation Group due to their lack of interest. Other companies (except Disney and Toys "R" Us) left the project as well.

On April 25, 2019, Leni announced she will depart from the Toys "R" Us movie.

LeniLoud99 became a plot writer for the film on May 6, 2018. Not much has been revealed about the story.

Gran Jam and Belle get trapped in an ice cream van by the evil businessman so they can't do anything. The other toys have been forgotten about. They had been hiding to avoid being sold. Geoffrey gets the rest of the toys together to stop the evil businessman.
