Blue Sky Announce 2 Upcoming Features

With their latest feature (Epic) about to hit the big screens, Blue Sky Studios have announced two more upcoming feature films; Anubis set for 2016 and Ferdinand set for 2017 and both are adaptations of Books.

The first Anubis is a loose adaptation of the novel “The Anubis Tapestry: Between Twilights” by Bruce Zick, which involves a mummy’s curse that sends one Dr. George Henry’s spirit to the Egyptian Underworld so that his son Chance has to go after him where he encounters a variety of monsters. (We’re going to try to work on getting some more information on this project like who is directing it as soon as we can.) The initial release is set for July 15th 2015.

Ferdinand, is an adaptation of the children’s book “The Story of Ferdinand” from Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson that was in 1936. The story follows a bull who doesn’t want to fight in the bullfighting arena like so many of his brethren but instead just wants to smell the flowers. The book is being brought to life by Rio and original Ice Age director Carlos Saldanha with an initial release date for April 7, 2017.
