Paramount Pictures and animation studio W!LDBRAIN have joined forces to develop feature films based on Kidrobot’s line of toys under the Nickelodeon Movies banner. No details have been released regarding the first movie, which will be produced by former Paramount exec Scott Aversano as part of his overall production deal for the studio. Exec producers on the project are Kidrobot president and founder Paul Budnitz, W!LDBRAIN head of creative Bob Higgins and W!LDBRAIN president and CEO Charles Rivkin.
With offices in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, W!LDBRAIN produces the hit children’s series Yo Gabba Gabba!, which is now entering its second season on Nick Jr. The studio also produces the popular animated Esurance commercials, and has recently signed Danny Antonucci, creator of Cartoon Network’s long-running cartoon series Ed, Edd n Eddy, to develop original television series, feature films and new media projects.
Kidrobot is a creator and retailer of limited-edition art toys, apparel and accessories. A cross between sculpture and conceptual art, the toys have been embraced by international fashion designers, illustrators and graffiti artists, as well as the general public. The company operates stores in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami. Kidrobot products can also be found at numerous specialty retailers around the world and online at kidrobot.com.
