Mattel and MGM Team for View-Master Film

Mattel and MGM have partnered to co-produce a live-action film based on the classic View-Master toy line.

The 3D toy line, which debuted at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, was one of the first inductees into the National Toy Hall of Fame.

Robbie Brenner, head of film, Mattel and Cassidy Lange, co-president of production, MGM will oversee production.


“View-Master was the first device that allowed families all over the world to escape their reality and take them places they never thought they could go,” says Jonathan Glickman, president, MGM, Motion Picture Group. “We couldn't be more excited to partner with Mattel to create a family adventure integrating the old school turn-and-click stereotypic device with the modern world of virtual reality.”

The View-Master film announcement comes on the heels of the recently-announced American Girl film, which will also be co-produced by Mattel and MGM.
