Encyclopedic overview

Ratchet & Clank is a 2016 animated science fiction comedy film based on the Insomniac Games video game series, and directed by Kevin Munroe. James Arnold Taylor and David Kaye reprise their roles as the titular characters from the video games, alongside Jim Ward and Armin Shimerman as their respective characters. The film also stars the voices of Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, Bella Thorne, Rosario Dawson, and Sylvester Stallone.

The film features an original story, loosely based on the 2002 video game with additional elements from its follow-ups, written by Munroe, Gerry Swallow, and former Insomniac senior writer T.J. Fixman, who began writing for the series with the Ratchet & Clank Future saga. Alongside several cast members from the games, Insomniac contributed to the film's production with character development, screenplay, and animation assets.
