Toy-Story Of The Week: Uglydolls To Star In Feature Film

The (Media) Toy-Story of the Week no doubt goes to the announcement of Uglydolls to be made into an animated feature film. To be produced by Chris Meledandri’s Illumination Entertainment (Anyone watched "Despicable Me"?) along with Universal Pictures - Uglydolls "will develop the film based on the global line of Uglydoll characters launched by husband-wife artist team David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. Meet the Fockers scribe Larry Stuckey will write the script, inspired by the dolls and stories created by Horvath and Kim. Meledandri will produce, and Horvath and Kim will be executive producers through their Pretty Ugly LLC banner. The plan is to start with the feature and then branch into a wider range of media opportunities." ~reports Deadline.com (Click on link to read more).
