Sega have partnered with Pyro Studios to create a game based on animated flick, Planet 51.

The story, from the writer of Shrek and Shrek 2, revolves around an American astronaut who arrives on Planet 51 assuming he's the first life there. But what Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker doesn't know is that 51 is inhabited by ickle green folk who don't like invaders - and so Chuck must try and escape with the help of robot chum… Rover.

We are delighted to have SEGA on board. Pyro strives to produce high quality games and we are pleased to have the right partner for worldwide publishing. Sega´s expertise in the video games industry, together with the quality of the game will make Planet 51 a Thanksgiving blockbuster.
