If you had not heard earlier this year there was a war of studios Pixar and it’s underdog Blue Sky Studios were fighting for the rights to adapt the popular children’s book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs written and illustrated by William Joyce into a 3D animated film. Pixar fell short and Ice Age’s Chris Wedge will next direct Leaf Men with finance through Fox Animation and production from Blue Sky Studios.
The Leaf Men book follows a troop of bugs that try to save a garden from an evil spider queen. The bugs turn to a mythical Leaf Men to help them win the battle. The book is known for its vibrant and detailed illustrations so I can’t wait to see how the animation will turn out.
