As a lifelong fan of quirky and empowering characters who have graced the pages of comic books and other media, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming Emily the Strange animated movie. The creative minds behind this project, including Pamela Ribon (Moana), Rob Reger, and Trevor Duke-Moretz, all seem perfectly suited to bring Emily’s unique world to life.


Legendary artist Rob Reger’s cherished character “Emily the Strange” is set to be transformed into an animated film by Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Bad Robot. Penned by the talented screenwriter behind “Moana,” Pamela Ribon, the “Emily the Strange” motion picture will see production under Reger’s company Cosmic Debris, alongside Bad Robot. Trevor Duke-Moretz is also credited as an executive producer for this exciting project. In a joint announcement on social media, Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures Animation unveiled the news about the “Emily the Strange” movie, with Reger sharing his thoughts on the project to Deadline.

Rob Reger expressed to the media that “our team working on the film, both creatively and executive-wise, is outstanding. Each member brings a sharp viewpoint as well as an appreciation and reverence for Emily the Strange’s special bond with our ordinary world.

He also acknowledged that “Emily celebrates all that is weird and different, which in turn makes the strange and unusual in all of us, feel a little less alone. Bringing to life Emily’s universe and many mythologies we have created over the years is truly one of Emily’s best nightmares come true.”

Bill Damaschke, President of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, expressed great honor in collaborating with Bad Robot, Rob [Reger] and Trevor [Duke-Moretz], as we bring the enduring pop-culture symbol of individuality and empowerment, Emily the Strange, to the big screen. Pamela Ribon’s distinctive and iconic voice adds to the excitement of this partnership.

John Agbaje, Bad Robot’s Animation Senior Vice President, stated, “At Bad Robot, we aim to explore the limits of animation. With Emily, a character who resists being confined by others’ definitions, we have an ideal chance to do so. We’re excited to introduce her world into our list of feature animations. The team behind this project is filled with enthusiasm for ‘Emily the Strange’, its current portrayal, and the impact it will have on future generations.

In the early 1990s, Emily the Odd One Out made her first appearance on clothing lines, stickers, and assorted merchandise. She eventually expanded into other media formats such as comic books, video games, and graphic novels. Emily’s comics were published by Dark Horse, with novellas from Chronicle Books and HarperCollins. Emily embodies the sassy spirit that a globetrotting young woman requires to thrive in a world that sometimes disregards or undervalues females.

Warner Bros. unveiled an animated teaser featuring the character Emily the Strange. Given that Warner Bros. is known for the Beetlejuice series, it seems like an ideal studio to bring Emily and her peculiar universe to life.
