Barry Sonnenfeld is set to make his first animated feature film with
Perestroika in Paris, an adaptation of the Jane Smiley book of the same name. Legendary producer
Frank Marshall will produce the movie via the Kennedy/Marshall Company, and the plan is to create a 2D animated film reminiscent of the animated comedy
The Triplets of Belleville. The story follows a thoroughbred horse wandering through Paris.
THR broke the news that Barry Sonnenfeld is set to direct the animated film
Perestroika in
Men in Black and
The Addams Family – but this will mark his first animated film. The story involves a bunch of talking animals, so adapting it as an animated feature makes sense. And it’s neat that Sonnenfeld and company are going for an old-school 2D animation look here rather than the modern 3D computer-animated look that has become so prevalent.
