Shakespeare's tragic romance gets a garden-gnome twist in this major animated 2011 release featuring original music from legendary songwriters Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
The Starz Animation Toronto Shortz program was born in 2007 to give voice to the studio’s talent and creativity and to develop the directors of the future. Two completed projects are now in festival and broadcast circulation – Kyran Kelly’s “Bundle of Joy” and Kevin Adams’ “Enter The Sandbox”. A new short, “Ormie,” pitched by Senior Animator Rob Silvestri is currently wrapping production.
Animated by Starz Animation Toronto, and directed by Shane Acker, this action-packed adventure is the feature-length expansion of his Academy Award-nominated 2004 short film of the same name. The screenplay for the feature is by Pamela Pettler (Monster House); directors Tim Burton (Beetlejuice) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) are among the feature version's producers.
