Alloy Entertainment has tapped writer-producer duo John Hoberg and Kat Likkel (Pixar’s Elemental, Sabrina: The Animated Series, My Name Is Earl) to pen its first animated feature project, Christmas Forever.
Announced earlier this year, the project is based on the children’s book of the same name by Elysa Koplovitz Dutton, published by Penguin Random House Children’s. First-time author Koplovitz Dutton is EVP of Film for Alloy Enteratinment, and will be producing the pic alongside President & CCO Leslie Morgenstein.
Book synopsis from Penguin Random House Children’s:
The spirit of Christmas lasts all year long … unless you are an ornament, stuck in a dusty box in the closet 11 months out of the year! This December 26th, it’s gonna be different. The ornaments know of a place where they can be free to sparkle, where life is a 24-hour, 365-day Christmas buffet … the North Pole! But when the family cat gets involved, their plan hits a snag. And soon the ornaments come to realize that togetherness is the best gift, and it can’t be Christmas forever without family.
Hoberg and Likkel are represented by UTA, Industry Entertainment and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
