Sony Pictures Animation confirms that it is proceeding with feature plans for its Oscar-winning animated short film THE CHUBBCHUBBS!, by Eric Armstrong, along with production of a follow-up short for theatrical distribution next summer. The computer-animated feature about an intergalactic janitor-turned singer that hooks up with the Chubbchubbs to save the universe will be penned by Dan Wilson and Dave Gilbreth (SMART AND SMARTER). A director is still being sought for the feature.
Bill Desowitz, former editor of VFXWorld, is currently the Crafts Editor of IndieWire.
