Animal Crackers is an upcoming American 3D computer animated film, co-written and co-directed by Scott Christian Sava with Dean Lorey and Tony Bancroft, respectively. The film stars the voices of John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Raven-Symoné, Ian McKellen, Sylvester Stallone, Danny DeVito, Patrick Warburton and Wallace Shawn.
Entertainment One will be distributing the film in the United Kingdom and Canada, while Odin's Eye Entertainment will be distributing international sales of the film at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Animal Crackers follows the Huntington family whose life is turned upside down when they inherit a rundown circus and a mysterious box of Animal Crackers, which magically change the person who eats them into the animal they have eaten — including monkeys, giraffes, lions, elephants, tigers, rhinos and bears. They must save the circus from being taken over by their evil uncle Horatio P. Huntington (McKellen).
In 2010, Scott Christian Sava wrote a screenplay for Animal Crackers but was unsuccessful in "shopping the story". In June 2013, Harvey Weinstein had seen a short film of the screenplay made by Sava and two months later in September 2013, he and his brother, Bob, made an offer to buy the rights to Animal Crackers.
Sava will co-direct the movie with Tony Bancroft and co-wrote the most recent draft with Dean Lorey.
Financing the movie are executive producers Mu Yedong on behalf of Wen Hua Dongrun Investment Co., La Peikang, board chairman of China Film Co., and Sam Chi for Landmark Asia.
Despicable Me character designer, Carter Goodrich, was hired in October 2014.
