Bedrock Studios, a new family-oriented, multi-platform studio focusing on animated and live-action film, TV, publishing and digital media content, will launch its operations with “Turkeys,” an animated feature directed by Ash Brannon (“Toy Story 2,” “Surf’s Up”) and featuring the voices of Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson.
The studio, which announced its formation on Wednesday, is headed by animator and former ILM executive Ed Jones and former Walden Media CEO Cary Granat (pictured left).
“We’re trying to look at the changes in the marketplace and build a new business model,” says Granat. “Can we make great, family-oriented projects without dealing with big budgets and huge front-end commitments? The impetus was to put together a team that could be a one-stop source for development, visual effects and creative oversight.”
