This is one of those masterpieces that I'm surprised hasn't been scooped up by Netflix and turned into a movie.

Its not that I don't like it as a game, but it's just so chock full of character.

The premise alone is so compelling; in the Land of the Dead, even dead men chase money. Even with the literal afterlife a train ticket away, you have conmen and good guys living (or dying?) like there's no end of the line.

Love it. One of those rare pieces of art that continues to live in my head rent-free.

Given Disney owns the IP now, they probably don't need to make a Grim Fandango movie because they made Coco: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coco_(2017_film)

On the other hand, I still think Disney should make a Monkey Island TV show or movie. They could use Sea of Thieves-style water effects in the Volume for useful shenanigans.
