"Aliens FC"
Magic Frame Animation and Creation Entertainment Media has teamed up on the new kids animated film, "Aliens FC". Both companies will co-develop and produce the film, which will be presented at Marché du Film in May.
"Aliens FC" is the adventure of a regular family who are mistaken for a famous soccer team, by a pair of friendly but bumbling aliens. The extra-terrestrials whisk the family across the galaxy, in need of their impressive football skills to help the charming aliens win their “local” football league, with the promise that they’ll return the family to their home on earth after the match. The animators of the film will use AI to help create unique and spectacular imagery.
The studios have attached Oscar-nominated writer Sam Morrison ("Shaun the Sheep" and "Peppa Pig") to collaborate with writing duo Tim Clague and Danny Stack to develop the film.
Magic Frame Animation and Creation Entertainment Media will attend Marché du Film in May and present it’s additional projects currently in development, as well as "Aliens FC", including the film series "Paul Martin" and the "Magic Magnifying Glass."
