Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane says he has plans for a feature-length Family Guy movie that will be released in theaters – but he hasn't gotten around to making it yet.
“I have known what that movie will be for the past 15 years and I just haven’t had the time to get to it, but I do know what it will be,” MacFarlane said during a panel at PaleyFest (via The Wrap).
The pic was directed by animation supervisor Pete Michels from a script by Gary Janetti, Chris Sheridan, Steve Callaghan, and Lois Griffin herself – Alex Borstein. It was later aired on Fox as three separate episodes.
A feature film has been in the works since 2007, with MacFarlane saying that the story is "something that you could not do on the show, which [to him] is the only reason to do a movie" and that he sees it as "an old-style musical with dialogue." It was announced in 2014, however, that the movie had been put on hold due to the filming of Ted 2 (H/T Deadline).
