A 'Where's Wally?' movie

The book series, which features pictures of crowds and requires readers to find the titular character – known as Waldo in the United States – will be made into a family motion picture.

MGM President Jonathan Glickman said: "We are thrilled to be bringing the search for Waldo to the big screen. Along with our partners at Classic Media, we look forward to making a worldwide adventure that will appeal to 'Where's Waldo? fans of all ages."
