If an Oddworld movie was released, I would think it would have Brazil*-esque success and downfalls. It would have a few faithful followers, but in the box office it would hardly be a success.

I'm not sure I would agree. If the story was told so it could relate to today, with likeable characters, it could be very successful. Look at Shrek, Robots, Finding Nemo, the Incredibles....... as long as it was told well and appealed to a large audience with no prior knowledge of OW, there is no reason it couldn't be well received.
I think that even a moderately successful movie would give them the clout to press on and branch out. That would spawn merchandise and games.
What we want is a bigger, stronger OW, who can't be forced to compromise on the story, art or quality. Right now, they just don't have the resources to branch out to other mediums, and can't even get recognition for one of the best games ever produced (SW).
I have seen the trailers and cut scenes for all the games, and IMHO, they could rival anything that Pixar could do.
