DreamWorks Animation conjures up Rumblewick flick

Dream­Works Ani­ma­tion SKG

Dream­Works Ani­ma­tion SKG, Inc. announced Thurs­day that it will bring Rum­blewick to the big screen.

Direc­tor Tim John­son (Over The Hedge, Antz) and writer Jim Herzfeld (Meet the Fock­ers, Meet the Par­ents) are col­lab­o­rat­ing on the fea­ture project, which is inspired by the children’s book My Unwill­ing Witch (The Rum­blewick Let­ters) by Hiawyn Oram and Sarah War­bur­ton. DWA devel­op­ment exec­u­tives Chris Kuser and Gregg Tay­lor are over­see­ing the project at the studio.

“The fas­ci­nat­ing world of witches and witches’ famil­iars is per­fectly suited for the medium of ani­ma­tion, where any­thing goes,” said Dream­Works Animation’s chief cre­ative offi­cer, Bill Dam­aschke. “Com­bined with the mag­i­cally cre­ative and comedic sen­si­bil­i­ties of Tim John­son and Jim Herzfeld, we look for­ward to bring­ing the world of Rum­blewick to life.”
