Hit animated short gets big screen adaptation.
The LA Times is reporting that Guillermo del Toro is to reteam with DreamWorks Animation to produce a feature adaptation of Rodrigo Blaas’ hit animated short ‘Alma.’
Blaas, a former Pixar animator, will direct the feature which tells the story of a young girl who becomes intrigued by the contents of a mysterious toy shop.
‘Sunshine Cleaning’ scribe Megan Holley will provide the screenplay while del Toro will offer guidance similar to the kind he offered on Dreamworks Animations’ ‘Puss in Boots.’
