The Jim Henson Co. and The Weinstein Co. have joined forces to introduce a series of CG-animated, direct-to-video features, according to Daily Variety. Co-produced by Flame Ventures and Prana Studios, the Unstable Fables line of releases will offer twisted takes on fairy tales, much like the Weinsteins’ hit toon feature, Hoodwinked.
Henson, Flame and Prana plan to begin production in September, tackling first the enduring tales of Goldilocks, The Three Little Pigs and Three Billy Goats Gruff. Scripts are being overseen by Shrek writer Robert S.H. Schulman.
Animation will be completed at Prana’s studio in India with Lisa Henson and Tony Krantz producing. Eric Robinson will oversee the projects for The Weinstein Co., which will distribute the DVDs through its Genius Products.
