Riverdance: The Animated Adventure<\/em><\/strong> \"follows an Irish boy named Keegan and a Spanish girl named Moya as they journey into the mythical world of the Megaloceros Giganteus.\" The film will feature the voice talents of Pierce Brosnan, Lilly Singh, Brendan Gleeson, Aisling Bea, Jermaine Fowler, Pauline McLynn, John Kavanagh, Sam Hardy, and Hannah Herman Cortes. Pierece Brosnan is set to voice the King of the Megaloceros Giganteus, while Brendan Gleeson and John Kavanagh are slated to voice the villains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film is a co-production between Aniventure (Blazing Samurai<\/em>) and River Productions. It will be directed by Dave Rosenbaum (The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/em>) and Eamonn Butler with a screenplay written by Rosenbaum and Tyler Werrin.

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riverdance: The Animated Adventure<\/em><\/strong> \"follows an Irish boy named Keegan and a Spanish girl named Moya as they journey into the mythical world of the Megaloceros Giganteus.\" The film will feature the voice talents of Pierce Brosnan, Lilly Singh, Brendan Gleeson, Aisling Bea, Jermaine Fowler, Pauline McLynn, John Kavanagh, Sam Hardy, and Hannah Herman Cortes. Pierece Brosnan is set to voice the King of the Megaloceros Giganteus, while Brendan Gleeson and John Kavanagh are slated to voice the villains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film is a co-production between Aniventure (Blazing Samurai<\/em>) and River Productions.

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry.

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry.

The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series.

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films.

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films.

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it. The book will show how creativity was given to me.\u201d<\/p>Don Bluth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you're an animation fan, you know the name of Don Bluth and you're familiar with his works including The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, An American Tail<\/em>, All Dogs Go to Heaven<\/em>, and Anastasia<\/em> amongst others.

The book will also feature exclusive original artwork, a must-have for every animation and cinema buff!

This isn't the first book Don Bluth has written though as he's previously published The Art of Storyboard<\/em> and The Art of Animation<\/em> Drawing<\/em>.

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>.

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>). No release date has yet been announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation legend, Don Bluth, is returning with a brand new studio aptly named Don Bluth Studios. According to the main Facebook page<\/a>, the newly formed studio is a joint venture between Don Bluth and animator, Lavalle Lee, from Traditional Animation<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of Don Bluth Studios is to bring about a resurgence of hand-drawn animation by establishing \"NEW characters, NEW ideas and NEW projects.\" Don Bluth is no stranger to hand-drawn animation having helmed some of the most memorable hand-drawn animated films of the 80s including The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, An American Tail<\/em>, The Land Before Time<\/em>, and All Dogs Go to Heaven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the new projects being worked on at the moment is Bluth Fables<\/em><\/strong>, a series of short stories similar to nursery rhymes and Aesop's Fables<\/em> but with a Don Bluth twist. The project's progress can be tracked via livestreams on Lavalle Lee's YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it.

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation legend, Don Bluth, is returning with a brand new studio aptly named Don Bluth Studios. According to the main Facebook page<\/a>, the newly formed studio is a joint venture between Don Bluth and animator, Lavalle Lee, from Traditional Animation<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of Don Bluth Studios is to bring about a resurgence of hand-drawn animation by establishing \"NEW characters, NEW ideas and NEW projects.\" Don Bluth is no stranger to hand-drawn animation having helmed some of the most memorable hand-drawn animated films of the 80s including The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, An American Tail<\/em>, The Land Before Time<\/em>, and All Dogs Go to Heaven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the new projects being worked on at the moment is Bluth Fables<\/em><\/strong>, a series of short stories similar to nursery rhymes and Aesop's Fables<\/em> but with a Don Bluth twist. The project's progress can be tracked via livestreams on Lavalle Lee's YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it. The book will show how creativity was given to me.\u201d<\/p>Don Bluth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film.

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>.

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it. The book will show how creativity was given to me.\u201d<\/p>Don Bluth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you're an animation fan, you know the name of Don Bluth and you're familiar with his works including The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, An American Tail<\/em>, All Dogs Go to Heaven<\/em>, and Anastasia<\/em> amongst others.

This isn't the first book Don Bluth has written though as he's previously published The Art of Storyboard<\/em> and The Art of Animation<\/em> Drawing<\/em>.

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation legend, Don Bluth, is returning with a brand new studio aptly named Don Bluth Studios. According to the main Facebook page<\/a>, the newly formed studio is a joint venture between Don Bluth and animator, Lavalle Lee, from Traditional Animation<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the new projects being worked on at the moment is Bluth Fables<\/em><\/strong>, a series of short stories similar to nursery rhymes and Aesop's Fables<\/em> but with a Don Bluth twist. The project's progress can be tracked via livestreams on Lavalle Lee's YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation legend, Don Bluth, is returning with a brand new studio aptly named Don Bluth Studios. According to the main Facebook page<\/a>, the newly formed studio is a joint venture between Don Bluth and animator, Lavalle Lee, from Traditional Animation<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of Don Bluth Studios is to bring about a resurgence of hand-drawn animation by establishing \"NEW characters, NEW ideas and NEW projects.\" Don Bluth is no stranger to hand-drawn animation having helmed some of the most memorable hand-drawn animated films of the 80s including The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, An American Tail<\/em>, The Land Before Time<\/em>, and All Dogs Go to Heaven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the new projects being worked on at the moment is Bluth Fables<\/em><\/strong>, a series of short stories similar to nursery rhymes and Aesop's Fables<\/em> but with a Don Bluth twist. The project's progress can be tracked via livestreams on Lavalle Lee's YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it. The book will show how creativity was given to me.\u201d<\/p>Don Bluth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it. The book will show how creativity was given to me.\u201d<\/p>Don Bluth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation legend, Don Bluth, is returning with a brand new studio aptly named Don Bluth Studios. According to the main Facebook page<\/a>, the newly formed studio is a joint venture between Don Bluth and animator, Lavalle Lee, from Traditional Animation<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation legend, Don Bluth, is returning with a brand new studio aptly named Don Bluth Studios. According to the main Facebook page<\/a>, the newly formed studio is a joint venture between Don Bluth and animator, Lavalle Lee, from Traditional Animation<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation legend, Don Bluth, is returning with a brand new studio aptly named Don Bluth Studios. According to the main Facebook page<\/a>, the newly formed studio is a joint venture between Don Bluth and animator, Lavalle Lee, from Traditional Animation<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of Don Bluth Studios is to bring about a resurgence of hand-drawn animation by establishing \"NEW characters, NEW ideas and NEW projects.\" Don Bluth is no stranger to hand-drawn animation having helmed some of the most memorable hand-drawn animated films of the 80s including The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, An American Tail<\/em>, The Land Before Time<\/em>, and All Dogs Go to Heaven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the new projects being worked on at the moment is Bluth Fables<\/em><\/strong>, a series of short stories similar to nursery rhymes and Aesop's Fables<\/em> but with a Don Bluth twist. The project's progress can be tracked via livestreams on Lavalle Lee's YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them.

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it. The book will show how creativity was given to me.\u201d<\/p>Don Bluth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>).

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it. The book will show how creativity was given to me.\u201d<\/p>Don Bluth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sources including Deadline<\/a><\/em>, we have learned that singer\/songwriter, Katy Perry, will be voicing the title character of the upcoming animated musical film, Melody<\/em><\/strong>, as well as writing and performing songs for the film. Melody<\/em> tells the story of \"a kind-hearted, insecure singer who must overcome the evil plans of Rose Stellar, a jealous wicked pop queen who has vowed to destroy her.\" She will be assisted by the magical properties of seven musical notes in her possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding her voice role as Melody, Katy Perry has said, \"I\u2019ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I\u2019m such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I\u2019ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn't Katy Perry's first voice role though as she has previously voiced Smurfette in the animated\/live-action hybrid films, The Smurfs<\/em> and The Smurfs 2<\/em>. She will also be producing the film alongside Jeremy Zag (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir<\/em>), Tyler Thompson (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>), <\/em>and Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman<\/em>). No release date has yet been announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRefreshed. These are images I have held in my soul for a long time and it is nice to release them and share them with other people I care so much about. It is very satisfying to know that many of the adventures I have experiences can be passed on to other creative artists that might benefit from them. We are all creators in one way or another and each person who creates will find their own way of doing it. The book will show how creativity was given to me.\u201d<\/p>Don Bluth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you're an animation fan, you know the name of Don Bluth and you're familiar with his works including The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, An American Tail<\/em>, All Dogs Go to Heaven<\/em>, and Anastasia<\/em> amongst others. You'll also be pleased to hear that the legendary animator and director is releasing an autobiography to discuss his works as well as explore other topics such as how his love of animation started, his Mormon faith, his earlier work for Disney, and his later work for his own studio. The book will also feature exclusive original artwork, a must-have for every animation and cinema buff!

This isn't the first book Don Bluth has written though as he's previously published The Art of Storyboard<\/em> and The Art of Animation<\/em> Drawing<\/em>. This autobiography, entitled Somewhere Out There: My Animated Life<\/em><\/strong>, will be released on July 19, 2022 and can be preordered here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple news sources such as Variety<\/a><\/em>, a new feature film based on the Thomas & Friends<\/em><\/strong> franchise is currently in development. Thomas & Friends<\/em> is a British children's television series based on the The Railway Series<\/em> books written by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. It tells the stories of multiple anthropomorphized train characters on the island of Sodor with the main character being the eponymous Thomas the Tank Engine. The series, running since 1984, used live action models for the trains in its early days but has since adopted a CGI style in recent series. It has spawned multiple feature-length specials and direct-to-video films and even a widely-released theatrical feature-length film in 2000, Thomas and the Magic Railroad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just in time for the 75th anniversary of the book series, it has been announced that Marc Forster (Finding Neverland<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>) will be directing the newest Thomas & Friends<\/em> film, presumably for a theatrical release. The currently untitled film will be a hybrid of live-action and animation with Forster co-producing the film alongside Ren\u00e9e Wolfe (Christopher Robin<\/em>) and Mattel Films. The film's script has already been written by Alyssa Hill (A Taste of Power<\/em>) and Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family<\/em>). No release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riverdance, a theatrical phenomenon featuring traditional Irish dancing, interestingly enough started out as an interval performance act on the Eurovision Song Contest 1994. In February 2020, it was announced that an animated adaptation based on the phenomenon was in the works. Now, we've received news of the film's voice cast from The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riverdance: The Animated Adventure<\/em><\/strong> \"follows an Irish boy named Keegan and a Spanish girl named Moya as they journey into the mythical world of the Megaloceros Giganteus.\" The film will feature the voice talents of Pierce Brosnan, Lilly Singh, Brendan Gleeson, Aisling Bea, Jermaine Fowler, Pauline McLynn, John Kavanagh, Sam Hardy, and Hannah Herman Cortes. Pierece Brosnan is set to voice the King of the Megaloceros Giganteus, while Brendan Gleeson and John Kavanagh are slated to voice the villains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film is a co-production between Aniventure (Blazing Samurai<\/em>) and River Productions. It will be directed by Dave Rosenbaum (The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/em>) and Eamonn Butler with a screenplay written by Rosenbaum and Tyler Werrin. Bill Whelan, who scored the original production, will score the animated film as well. A release date hasn't been announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation legend, Don Bluth, is returning with a brand new studio aptly named Don Bluth Studios. According to the main Facebook page<\/a>, the newly formed studio is a joint venture between Don Bluth and animator, Lavalle Lee, from Traditional Animation<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of Don Bluth Studios is to bring about a resurgence of hand-drawn animation by establishing \"NEW characters, NEW ideas and NEW projects.\" Don Bluth is no stranger to hand-drawn animation having helmed some of the most memorable hand-drawn animated films of the 80s including The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, An American Tail<\/em>, The Land Before Time<\/em>, and All Dogs Go to Heaven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the new projects being worked on at the moment is Bluth Fables<\/em><\/strong>, a series of short stories similar to nursery rhymes and Aesop's Fables<\/em> but with a Don Bluth twist. The project's progress can be tracked via livestreams on Lavalle Lee's YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
