‘Elemental’s John Hoberg & Kat Likkel Tapped To Script ‘Christmas Forever,’ First Animated Feature From Alloy Entertainment
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Veteran writer-producers John Hoberg and Kat Likkel (Elemental) have signed to write Alloy Entertainment‘s animated feature Christmas Forever, based on Penguin/Random House children’s book of the same name by Elysa Koplovitz Dutton.
A first-time author, Koplovitz Dutton is the executive vice president of film at Alloy Entertainment. She’ll produce alongside Alloy’s president and chief creative officer, Leslie Morgenstein, in the company’s first foray into animation.
Christmas Forever takes place on Christmas Eve, watching as a group of ornaments, tired of being stuck in storage all year, devise an escape plan to the North Pole where it will be Christmas forever.
Writing partners Hoberg and Likkel were two of the three scribes on Disney/Pixar’s Elemental, starring Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie, which last year earned nearly $500 million at the worldwide box office, and collected a slew of honors including Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globes nominations for Best Animated Feature.
