Initial projects include <em>Which Way to Anywhere<\/em>, the latest novel from Cressida Cowell, the best-selling author of the <em>How to Train Your Dragon<\/em> series, as well as Cowell\u2019s <em>Emily Brown<\/em> picture books. WildBrain exclusively optioned both properties from Cowell.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Ellenbogen, CEO at WildBrain, said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more thrilled that we\u2019ve reunited Bonnie Arnold with Cressida Cowell for two terrific new projects at WildBrain. Bonnie is a treasure in the world of animation, combining not only outstanding creative and storytelling vision, but also a keen commercial sensibility. Given her stewardship of the <em>Dragons<\/em> franchise, there\u2019s no one better to bring Cressida\u2019s splendid new novel, <em>Which Way to Anywhere<\/em>, to life on screen. Welcoming a producer of Bonnie\u2019s exceptional taste and experience into the WildBrain fold will further elevate our creative slate both in scope and ambition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arnold said: \u201cI love the unconventional characters and exciting worlds that Cressida creates. I\u2019m thrilled to be working with her again on such a fresh and imaginative story. <em>Which Way to Anywhere<\/em> has all the right ingredients\u2014comedy, heart and a little bit of magic too. WildBrain is an ideal partner for this and Emily Brown. Eric and the wonderful team at WildBrain Studios have so much experience creating outstanding family programming. I look forward to working with them in bringing these and other captivating stories that I am passionate about to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cowell said: \u201cI have worked with Bonnie Arnold for over a decade with the <em>How to Train Your Dragon<\/em> movies: she\u2019s a powerhouse of creativity and commercial instinct. I\u2019m delighted to be partnering with her and the ambition, imagination and vision of WildBrain to bring <em>Which Way to Anywhere<\/em> and <em>Emily Brown<\/em> to screen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WildBrain has entered into an overall first-look deal with producer Bonnie Arnold (How to Train Your Dragon, Toy Story).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":24131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[6711,6712,2526,1156],"class_list":["post-24130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bonnie-arnold","tag-how-to-train-your-dragon","tag-toy-story","tag-wildbrain","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
