Genndy Tartakovsky's The Black Knight Test Animation

Plot: The story of a 20 feet high Knight Armor controlled by a knight inside using ropes, pulleys, and levers. The setting is around the 14th century. In July 2018, it was reported that Genndy Tartakovsky had signed on to direct an original action-adventure film titled Black Knight. Speaking with Collider's Steve Weintraub in late 2024, Tartakovsky revealed that the script was completed and "...we're just starting to take it out to see who wants to make it with Sony." On September 26, 2025, Tartakovsky stated on Instagram "About 6 years ago we started development on a more adult animated action movie, The Black Knight. We developed it for a few years, the studio liked what we were doing but they were unsure if there is an audience that would go see it theatrically. We made a down and dirty test, and still no go." The film's setting "is around the 14th century." Please Sony, release this movie in theatres. Genndy Tartakovsky is an animator who made shows like Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars The Clone Wars, and Primal, and also made movies like the Hotel Transylvania films, and Fixed.
