Exclusive: Toronto’s Skyfox Media and Munich’s Studio 100 International have put into development a comedy-adventure feature promising a blend of “fantasy, steampunk and humor.”
Grimmlings is billed as a heartwarming comedy-adventure set in St. Crispin’s Orphanage, Shropshire, England, in 1908, and will explore themes of friendship, family and self-discovery in a “fantastical world” of woodland critters.
The story follows Owen, a young orphan, and his best friend Temperance, as they accidentally unleash menacing woodland monsters called Grimmlings from a hidden grimoire. The duo, along with the help of a quirky scientist named Quimple, embark on a quest to recapture the creatures and confront a sinister descendant of the Grimm Brothers before Halloween night.
Skyfox CEO Hong Kim and executive producer Brendan McNeill are set to produce the project.
“At the core of Grimmlings is a commitment to community engagement. We’re so excited to greenlight this project for development,...
