After starting off in the UK as “Where’s Wally?“, the question “Where’s Waldo?” globalized.

Waldo, created by illustrator Martin Hanford, dressed in a red-and-white striped shirt and hat and carrying a walking stick finds himself ‘lost’ amongst complex pictures and it’s up to readers to locate him.

Soon enough he’ll be easy to spot…in movie theatres.  Chris Meledandri’s Illumination Entertainment and Universal is bringing the popular character to the big screen.

The plot features a 30-year-old Waldo who, after accidentally activating a malfunctioning time machine, travels through time.
