John Kahrs director of Disney’s Paperman, last year’s Oscar Winner for Best Animated Short, has begun working on a feature film called Shedd, according to Empire (via Variety). The company behind Shedd is Paramount’s new animation division, which was recently begun after their distribution split with DreamWorks Animation.
Although there is no release date to speak of yet, we can look forward to Paramount Animation’s next feature-length release, the sequel to SpongeBob Squarepants on February 3rd, 2015.
While we are all super curious for what this new project could be and what Paramount will bring in the future, the production company is keeping a tight lid on everything from story to logline. But let’s think about it, what could Shedd be about?
