Rich Staplehurst, formerly creative director of Moonbug Entertainment, has launched the IP development studio Noodle & Caboodle Entertainment.<\/p>\n

The studio is launching with a slate that already includes four original IPs for young audiences in the early stages of creative development, an animated feature film in script and visual development and a transmedia property with mobile game potential in development.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a creative myself, I am passionate about building something meaningful that will somehow add value the wider creative community,\u201d Staplehurst said in a LinkedIn post. \u201cThe industry is and has been unpredictable (I feel you, trust me\u2014you are not alone). My hope in the near future is that Noodle & Caboodle will soon help create some new opportunities for paid work and collaboration with the brilliant people I\u2019ve met along the way. Be it producers, writers, character designers, VO, animators and fellow storytellers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
