Emily Blunt Joins Sylvester Stallone, John Krasinksi, and Sir Ian McKellen on ANIMAL CRACKERS

Blue Dream Studios confirmed today that Emily Blunt will join the animated feature film ANIMAL CRACKERS.

She joins previously announced cast members John Krasinksi, Danny DeVito, Sylvester Stallone, and Sir Ian McKellen. Blunt and Krasinski will play Zoe and Owen Huntington, a couple who inherits a rundown circus and a mysterious box of Animal Crackers that magically turn anyone who eats them into an animal.

The production team of animation superstars includes co-directors Scott Christian Sava and Tony Bancroft with Sava and Dean Lorey as co-writers, Character Designer Carter Goodrich, and Jamie Thomason as Voice and Casting Director.

“When Emily and John came in and performed their first scenes of the movie together… it was MAGIC,” comments Creator, Co-Director and Writer Scott Christian Sava “I can think of no other way of describing what they brought to the film. We had to literally go back and re-storyboard the sequences because they took us to places we never dreamed. Owen and Zoe came to life when Emily and John spoke.”

The film is produced by Scott Christian Sava from Blue Dream Studios, George Lee and Marcus Englefield from Storyoscopic Films, Jamie Thomason, and Leiming Guan and is set to be completed in the Summer of 2016.
