Fable Works, LLC is producing the original 3D-animated feature film "Cereal Heroes!" for theatrical release in 2010, the movie production and animation company announced Monday.
The movie will be produced at Sparx Animation Studios in Paris and Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of Vietnam.
The story follows the adventures of cartoon cereal box mascots who are mistakenly brought to life when a plan to replace the world's fallen superheroes with characters from comic books goes awry. These unlikely "Cereal Heroes" with ridiculous powers soon find themselves alone and on the run in an unfamiliar world that only they can save from certain destruction.
"Cereal Heroes! is a great action-adventure comedy for the whole family," said Fable Works producer Jean-Philippe Agati. "People of all ages will fall in love with these misfit cereal-box mascots as they attempt to save the world from the most powerful super-villains of all time."
Writer David Meinstein optioned the property to Fable Works last year and is writing the screenplay. Meinstein is best known for his work as writer and producer of the G4 Television program Portal.
Artist Stephen Silver is designing the characters for the film, which is currently in pre-production. Silver's best-known work includes the character designs for the animated TV series Kim Possible, Danny Phantom and Clerks.
Odyssey Entertainment Limited, the film's international sales agent, will begin pre-selling the feature at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
"We are delighted to be working with Sparx Animation Studios on this project," said Fable Works producer Laddie Ervin. "They are a highly skilled and talented group who know how to deliver feature-film quality 3D animation on time and on budget."
Sparx is currently completing work on its first feature film, Igor, which is produced by Exodus Production and will be distributed by the Weinstein Company for theatrical release in October. Igor is a playfully irreverent comedy that brings a new twist to the classic monster genre.
