Sycamore Studios Acquires InvestiGators Movie Rights

Sycamore Studios announced this week that it has acquired the exclusive animated motion picture rights to the "InvestiGators" book series. This New York Times bestselling franchise, created by John Patrick Green, has sold over 5 million copies in print since its debut in 2020. The series is recognized for its characters, crime-fighting alligators.

The acquisition signifies a significant move for Sycamore Studios, an independent animation studio, in expanding its portfolio with established intellectual property. The "InvestiGators" series has garnered a substantial readership, particularly among younger audiences, making it a prime candidate for adaptation into animated films. The studio expressed enthusiasm for the potential of the franchise, highlighting the rarity of acquiring such strong family-oriented properties.

John Patrick Green's "InvestiGators" books follow the adventures of two alligator secret agents who solve mysteries and thwart villains. The series' success is attributed to its blend of humor, action, and engaging characters. The deal with Sycamore Studios is expected to bring these beloved characters to the screen in an animated format, aiming to capture the same appeal that has driven the book series' sales.
