Dorado Media has agreed to finance at least three upcoming films for Toronto-based animation house Arc Productions, beginning with the reunion of Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in “The Canterville Ghost.”
The two Canadian companies have agreed that Dorado will help finance a slate of animated films, major projects budgeted between $30 and $50 million. 
“The Canterville Ghost,” an adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s short story, will be the first film financed under the deal.
“As the first project through the Dorado-Arc pipeline, ‘The Canterville Ghost’ embodies all of the qualities we are looking for in an animated feature film and will yet again allow us to showcase our creative team who continue to perform brilliantly on worldwide brands such as Barbie, Halo and Thomas the Tank Engine,” Jeff Young, Arc’s President, said in a statement.
