Eric Animations

Eric Henderson: Rebooted (also known as Eric Henderson: The Movie or simply Eric Henderson) is an upcoming live-action/2D traditional flash/hand-drawn/3D computer-animated motion capture sci-fi adventure comedy film based on the Go!Animate/Vyond character Eric and the series The Eric Show, which were both created by Jerry Tirado (MrLegoFan404) and various Go!Animate/Vyond users. It is set in an alternate universe from Go!Animate/Vyond's other properties and characters, but introduces a shared multiverse. The film features the somewhat similar charm and humor as most Go!Animate/Vyond videos, while also incorporating a darker, mature, serious, and more emotional tone, and it is also more action-oriented.

Development
Before  would begin in development, Henry Norton, a director, producer, and composer best known for his involvement in the Taylor's Crystal Universe: All Stars (formally the Taylor's Series Saga) franchise had announced on November of 2016 that he has plans of adapting Go!Animate/Vyond's properties into feature-length films, with his production company, Henry Norton Films involved. The crew behind the Taylor's Crystal Universe: All Stars franchise His goal for those films were to "rejuvenate" and improve the Go!Animate/Vyond franchise and the community, as well as to make them more popular again, since both the franchise and the community have been going downhill and becoming less popular since 2016, most notably because of the recent controversial updates to the site, the mixed-to-negative impact the site has been having lately, as well as the popular, but infamous grounded videos, dead meat videos, held back videos, and torture videos that have since been taking over the site. However, there were some controversies and accusations made against Norton that were going on during that time. As a result, plans of film adaptations to Go!Animate/Vyond's properties were put on hold for two months until controversies against him died down by January of 2017.

On January 10, 2017, Norton announced that he had an idea of doing a movie about one of the popular cartoon characters on Go!Animate/Vyond, Eric, with the film's first title being known as The Eric Show: The Movie. The writing of the script started on the same day with Norton writing the plot of the movie. On January 24, 2018, Norton released a prototype version of the movie on his YouTube channel. The prototype version of the film consisted of the original opening to the movie, as well as parts 1 to 3 of the original version of the film. The opening used the Warner Bros. Pictures (1940s version), Warner Animation Group, Paramount Pictures, Go!Animate Pictures, Studios and Network, and RatPac-Dune Entertainment (now Access Entertainment) logos in the style of Eric's red hoodie. The original opening to the film is similar to the opening of the poorly received 2003 film The Cat in the Hat, which in fact, was based off of the 1957 Dr. Seuss book of the same name.

On February of 2017, Stephan Swaby, a Go!Animate/Vyond user who was getting used to the site since he joined it on May of 2016, had expressed interest in being involved in the film, as well as helping Norton with the film. As a result, he was later hired and promoted as one of the producers and writers of the film. Swaby had later created an Idea Wiki article to promote the film to users of the wiki, as well as GoAnimate/Vyond users. On March 15, 2017, the film's title was changed to Eric Animate: The Movie. It was changed due to the fact that the title sounded unusual, and it wasn't a good title for a movie. However, the second title sounded too similar to the Go!Animate name, except the name Eric replaces the word "Go!". As a result, the film received its third title Eric Animations: The Movie 5 days later.

On March 25, 2017, Miguel Marquez, founder of Laka Animation Studios had also expressed interest in involvement of the film. As a result, he was hired as one of the producers of the film. 2 days later, James Sharp, also known by his nickname Sharpness Knight had expressed interest in working on the film after the cancellation of Greenytoons Unite, a project that he was previously working on that didn't turn out well. He announced that his company Sharpness Knight Animation Studios would be involved to co-produce the film. He was later confirmed to be involved in the film as one of the co-directors, producers, executive producers, writers, and editors of the film. 9 days later, John Harry Lau had expressed interest in helping with the project after he watched videos of Eric on YouTube. He later became one of the executive producers of the film. On May 11, 2017, Eric Medina, Liz Quintana, Colin Lloyd Pendergast, D.A. Nichols, and Abbey Thickson had also expressed their interests in helping with the film, and to have Gundam Mode Anivision (now Gundam Mode Authorization/NDCUnivercity), Colin Entertainment, Ltd., NicThic Productions and its division NicThic Cinemation Studios to co-produce the film. Colin serves as the producer, executive producer and writer of the film, while D.A. and Abbey serve as co-directors of the film. Founder of Slimeworks Studios and actor Nolan Massey, (KnottyOrchid12) was also interested in the film, and wanted his company Slimeworks to be one of the production companies for the film. However, producer Swaby stated that he already has a lot of film companies helping with the film, and Slimeworks won't be involved in the film. However, Nolan can still help with the film by co-writing the script of the film.

Production troubles and later updates
On May 2017, the title was changed for the 3rd time to Eric Animations: The Ultimate Epic Movie, although the film was sometimes known in some promotional material as simply Eric Animations: The Movie until September 5, 2018. Production of the film was going smoothly until June 25, 2018. On that day, James Sharp had deleted the original article to the film, along with the original transcript, credits, trailer transcripts, and soundtrack from Idea Wiki. Stephan Swaby was angered by James after what he had done, and wrote an angry message against him saying:

"Oh MY GOD!!! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!! YOU RUINED HENRY NORTON'S MOVIE AND ERIC ANIMATIONS' MOVIE!!!! NOW HENRY NORTON AND ERIC ANIMATIONS ARE GOING TO BE MAD AT YOU BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID!!! HOW COULD YOU?! THIS TOOK ME 3 MONTHS TO MAKE!!! NOW I HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE OF YOU!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING LIKE THIS?!! WHY?!! WHY?!! WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HENRY NORTON, ME, AND ERIC ANIMATIONS?!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! YOU MADE ME SO FREAKING FURIOUS!!! NOW I'M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!"

- Stephan Swaby

Following Stephan's angry message to James, James himself banned Stephan from the Idea Wiki, which caused Stephan to be even more furious at James and blame him for ruining the project. However, James stated the reason to why he deleted the article:

"It's just that the movie has way too many production companies producing it. If the production of the movie would be restarted, there should be less than 5 companies producing the movie. Also, there would be less characters in that movie."

- James Sharp

On June 29, 2017, Stephan apologized to James for his rude behavior towards him and promised not to be furious at him again. He did that in a apology video, which can be found here. James accepted his apology and unblocked him from Idea Wiki. The development of the film was restarted on the same day. The crew of the movie thought that everything was back to normal... that is until July 20th 2017. On that day, James Sharp cancelled the movie for the second time. Stephan asked him nicely why he cancelled the movie again, and here was James' response:

"Here are the reasons why I canceled the movie again: First of all, people won't be helping you with the movie because you are starting to become immature and you are slowly turning into a GoF*g. Second of all, Henry Norton wanted every single company all around the world to create the movie, but I disagree. I only wanted one production company producing the film. Third of all, that Eric Animations movie idea is a bad idea. I've had it with you, and Henry Norton, and your stupid Eric Animations movie idea, and other lousy stuff you did! I quit! From now on, I will make movies on my own, without you! Our friendship... and our movie partnership... is NO more! Good day!"

- James Sharp

After that, James blocked Stephan for the second time, although Stephan did nothing wrong that time. The same day, Stephan reported James to a former user and admin of Idea Wiki named Loudmouth1 and told him that James blocked him for no reason and was being mean to him. Loudmouth1 unblocked Stephan and blocked James Sharp. However, James blocked both Stephan and Loudmouth1 for infinite and claimed that Stephan "deserves to be blocked", not him. However, he was later blocked again from Idea Wiki, only this time, by RetroGameFan9000 since he had blocked two innocent users for no reason. RetroGameFan9000 later unblocked Stephan and Loudmouth1. Development of the film was immediately restarted again on the same day, only that time without James' involvement. The next day, Stephan made a video where he sent a message to James Sharp, which is found here. Stephan apologized to James for causing him to bully him and hate him, and James accepted his apology saying:

"I accept your apology. But promise me one thing. Try to remove some companies from producing the film. By the way, I'm sorry for making you upset with the drama over a movie and whatnot. Will you please accept my apology?"

- James Sharp

Stephan accepted his apology and James promised not to bully him ever again. James was later brought back on helping with the development of the movie, but he was still blocked from the wiki. On August 12, 2017, Colin Lloyd Jr. Pendergast made a poll on Idea Wiki on James, which is found here. He stated that James should be unblocked from the wiki and make an apology letter to Stephan. The same day, James sent Stephan a email with a apology letter saying:

"Dear Stephan Swaby, If you are reading this, I know people think that the guy who hurt your feelings is not the kind of guy on Wikia they love, but the guy from Wikia everyone loved... was me, James Sharp (aka Sharpness Knight and MovieLover9000). I know some people think that the Eric Animations movie wasn't your idea, it was my idea. However, as months past by, now I know how the people from Idea Wiki feel. My other friend Cpend37 made a poll if I were to remain being blocked in Idea Wiki or if I should be unblocked, and some of the Wikia users are helping him unblock me on Idea Wiki. I would be unblocked, but... but first, there's something that I have to say to you. You didn't overreact over a movie like the Eric Animations movie. A battle between you and me made some Wikia users stop helping you with your movie. I overreacted over the companies for the film, and with my rude and hurtful actions that made me hurt your feelings, I know I should have asked you politely to shorten the maximum limit of companies from 30 to 5. I should have never hurt your feelings like that, but I did it anyway. So, there's something I have to say to you. I'm sorry for overreacting over the Eric Animations movie, and for hurting your feelings, and for starting a huge battle between you and me. 😞 I promise I will never do anything like that again. If you accept my apology, will you please unblock me on Idea Wikia? Thank you. Sincerely, Sharpness Knight P.S. I'm making a sequel to Poptropica: The Movie based on Minecraft. It's called "Tyler and Trent in Minecraft". I'm looking for someone to help me with the movie. However, if I can't find any, I will finish the whole movie myself and that will take me forever to do all that. P.P.S. There's a script for the Poptropica movie sequel, if you want to read it. Click here to read the script: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yeJBzSTdxlzBofAzunU9FCDrgbB7iFWxDZdnQlj6CYw/edit P.P.P.S. This letter is too long, so yeah. Hope you accept my apology."

- James Sharp

Stephan accepted James apology, James was later unblocked from Idea Wiki by Coolot1, and he and Stephan are now friends once again. Shortly after Stephan accepted James' apology, production of the film was officially back in business with James' involvement. On August 2017, Cianan Irvine, a Go!Animate/Vyond user known for his animated web series Hilaree had expressed interest in being involved in the film, and Irvine was confirmed to be involved in the film as executive producer and composer of the film. On December 11, 2017, Jad BarahmehOn December 14, 2017, Mason Moore announced that he is no longer directing the film, and he will no longer be involved in the project due to loss of interest. Moore was later replaced by Kevin Pham as co-director of the film.

On February 2018, Nolan Massey was promoted as co-producer of the film, and his company SlimeWorks Studios would be officially involved in the film. In March 2018 Clearwater Animation, the newly formed Felipebross Studios Network Jetix, Atomic Network, YSR Network, Teen Mall, and SammyWorks Films were also added to co-produce the film.
