YM!

@cayommagazine Brad Bird (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Incredibles) has been hired by Endless Entertainment to helm a new original spy thriller. Said to inspired by the Mission Impossible series, not much is known. Henry Golding though has been casted as the lead.

What would you fix? Out of curiosity? Like what would you do for labels like DC, Potter, Warner Animation and the like?

@cayommagazine Cedric Yarbrough (Paradise PD, The Boondocks, Reno 911), Kyla Pratt (The Proud Family, Dr. Dolittle) and Cree Summer (Voltron: Legendary Defender, Atlantis: The Lost Empire) have joined the cast of Endless Animation’s Meeka as important roles.

I realized that. Disregard the post.

@Alpha I would like to move The Untitlable Squirrel Girl Sequel to December 20th, Y8.

Animaniacs 2020 - Totally Insaney but not as zany to the max - 8/10

@cayommagazine As Endless Animation and Laika’s deal continues, the two have announced their next feature together after the Academy Award nominated A Fool’s Errand, based off and named after the timeless classic The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is aiming for a Y9 release date as Henry Selick (Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas) directs.

Sleepy Hollow (Nevermind the work is 100+ years old)

@cayommagazine As The Untitlable Squirrel Girl Sequel finishes production, Endless Animation teams up with Amazon Prime and nonprofit organization Girls Who Code, to create early access screenings for what will likely be one of the biggest films of the holiday. The Amazon Prime screening will be on Saturday, November 30th, Y8 in over 1000 theaters, where Prime Members and Girls Who Code members get the chance to get tickets, as well as a proceeds of the sales is to fund the nonprofit group.

Cool

Tbh I don’t think we’ll get a film over $1B in 2021.

I’m leery about Space Jam 2, for the sole fact that it’s WAG. They suck at animation marketing and tend to do poorly OS. That said I can see it doing more than Minions 2 DOM but I have both under $200M DOM. Shang Chi I’m thinking around $250M-$275M, mainly due to the pandemic, it depends on how much normalcy is back.

Tomorrow I hope to have my Meeka outline done, Sunday, maybe a draft.

@Alpha I’d like to move Wild Thornberrys to 3/27 and Loving Shadow and Light to 11/22

Tom decides to ease the tensions by going to a new pizza joint but the Thompson’s find an abandoned Golden Shepard puppy who takes a shining to Todd. The Thompsons bring the dog home and decide to adopt it, naming it Light, but the dominant Shadow grows jealous, sparking a cat/dog rivalry as Light is much less troublesome, and more affectionate and naive to everyone even Shadow. Things improve slightly over the next week for the family as Tom learns his way around work, Trisha reworks her book to about both pets, Trina makes gains at school due her Instagram showcasing Light, Todd rearranges his prank to get Butte’s old embarrassing yearbook photos during a school assembly. Light and Shadow get into pet shenanigans at home, further annoying the Dogcatcher, who makes a more avid pursuit to catch both.

As Trisha goes out to get office supplies and meet with a publicist, Shadow taunts Light causing a scrap leading both to be caught by the Dogcatcher.

Meanwhile, the Dogcatcher decides to kill Shadow and Light himself but the two escape and outwit the Dogcatcher using slapstick and comedic hijinks throughout the city (in a restaurant, the mall and finally a bookstore) as Trina learns about this from her Instagram and rallies people to the location. The Dogcatcher corners the pet in an alleyway, doing an over the top speech on killing them like he did every other naughty pet but is found out as the Thompsons and the neighbors witness this, as Light and Shadow are saved as The Dogcatcher is sent to court. A few months later, Light and Shadow have learned to get along as Tom excels at work, Trisha sold her now children’s book about the two pets which is being praised in reviews, Trina is popular and Todd while still mischevious, channels his energy to sports as he and Butte are on good terms, having decided not to humiliate the principal. Movie ends with Light and Shadow stealing a ham on the dinner table.

@cayommagazine Seth MacFarlane to star, write both the script and lyrics, and produce through Fuzzy Door Studios, a musical for Infinite Studios titled Tap Your Toes. MacFarlane will play the lead, a down on his luck playwright who finds himself trapped inside a Broadway musical. More details should arise over the week.

@cayommagazine Endless Animation’s Meeka has been retitled to Meeka and the Heart of Isis. It is rumored that the studio plans on making Meeka into a trilogy of films if all goes well.

@cayommagazine Endless Entertainment is ecstatic that Joe Biden is the 46th President of the United States with Kamala Harris as the Vice President. America is back!

Jillian Bell (22 Jump Street), Nick Offerman (21 Jump Street franchise), Leslie Jones (Saturday Night Live), Anna Akana (Amphibia, Corporate), and Jason Mantazokous (Close Enough, Should You Imagine?) have joined the cast of Sisters of Jump Street.

Oopsies.

@cayommagazine

My dong has expanded. Great predicts @cookie though I would like to add a point in favor of Static 2. Endless Entertainment has had great luck with the February slot (Blue and Gold and Medusa overperformed doing $260M+ and $290M DOM respectively with the former facing a Pokémon film, and Plastic-Man despite mixed reviews did about $175M).
