So a few years ago, not exactly sure when, there was apparently going to be a Bratz movie? I am a bit surprised haha, but it's still quite interesting to see how it would have turned out.
"A couple years back, I was asked to work on a pitch for a Bratz animated movie. Bratz had been below the radar for a little while during the legal battles with Mattel, and this was one avenue that was being explored to bring the franchise back. The story idea was centered on the makeover genre. The protagonist would start out as the "ugly duckling", but after becoming friends with the Bratz girls, she would find her own unique style and emerge as a stylish and confident "swan." Together, with Jack Sy and Larry Quach, we were able to create a fair amount of work in a very short amount of time." - Tony Weinstock, Animator

Honestly I think the animation style is pretty cool. I would have loved to see how it would've turned out. Also, is anyone else getting Fashion Diamondz and Genie Magic vibes from the plot? The whole 'controlling parent' and 'big makeover' thing.
What do you guys think? I would love to hear your thoughts!
(Also, the animator mentions how they were looking for new ideas to bring the franchise back and one of them was a movie. Could this mean there is a possibility for a new movie this year? Probably not, but who knows?)
