Tonka Trucks have been around for 65 years, and now the Hasbro brand is planning to bring its Tonka toughness to the big screen in an animated motion picture to be produced by Sony Pictures Animation, Hasbro and Happy Madison Productions, according to THR.
The new Tonka project isn’t the only link between Sony Pictures and Hasbro, as they recently announced they’re developing movies based on Risk and Candy Land together. Candy Land is also a Happy Madison project.
Happy Madison is of course Adam Sandler’s production company, and while it isn’t now how personally he’ll be involved with the film, it’s believed he’ll produce the movie at least. Fred Wolf, who is a regular writer for Sandler (he wrote Grown Ups, amongst other others), is the man tasked with finding a way to make the Tonka products work as a film.
