Canada’s Skyfox Media and Germany-based international kids & family content co. Studio 100 International (Maya the Bee, 100% Wolf) announce the greenlit development of a new family animated feature film, Grimmlings. Hong Kim (The Nut Job 1 & 2, Bolts & Blip, Spark: A Space Tail) and Brendan McNeill (Marmaduke) are set to produce the project.
Synopsis: Grimmlings is a heartwarming comedy-adventure set in St. Crispin’s Orphanage, Shropshire, England, in 1908. The story follows Owen, a young orphan, and his best friend Temperance, as they accidentally unleash Grimmlings, menacing woodland monsters, from a hidden grimoire. The duo, along with the help of a quirky scientist named Quimple, must embark on a thrilling quest to recapture the creatures and confront a sinister descendant of the Grimm Brothers before Halloween night.
The film promises a thrilling blend of fantasy, steampunk and humor, exploring themes of friendship, family and self-discovery. As Owen and Temperance face challenges with courage and determination, the strength of their friendship shines amidst the fantastical world of Grimmlings.
“At the core of Grimmlings is a commitment to community engagement. We’re so excited to greenlight this project for development, uplift the animation community and work with artists to create a family-friendly movie that resonates with audiences of all ages” said producer Hong Kim, CEO of Skyfox Media. “We believe in the transformative power of good stories and believe this film is a celebration of community, friendship and the magic of storytelling.”
