found the perfect opportunity to blend together all of his childhood inspirations for a family-friendly animated heist film. Based on a children’s graphic novel series, the film follows a group of animal criminals, Mr. Wolf , Mr. Snake , Ms. Tarantula , Mr. Shark and Mr. Piranha . After getting caught, Mr. Wolf makes a play to escape prison time by claiming that the group wants a chance to reform themselves into good guys. Though it starts as a ruse, Mr.
The first page of the book really is Mr. Wolf talking to the reader and saying, “You know me, I’m the big bad wolf. Well, no more. Now I want to go good.” And then, you see all of their attempts to become good citizens, and they’re really bad at it. But for the film, we really wanted to explore what came before that and what led Mr. Wolf to make that decision of going good.Universal Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection: That’s something that’s been cooking in my head for a long, long time.

The tools and the computers were very much geared towards one kind of look that we’ve always seen from Pixar and DreamWorks and Disney.

DEADLINE: You mentioned this confluence of anime and heist movies and so much more. What were your big points of inspiration for this film?: It really started with the cover of that first book in the graphic novel series. It’s a simple drawing of the main characters and they’re all wearing suits, so immediately came to mind, with that slow-motion scene that was just so ingrained in my mind. So my first thought was, “It’s going to be Tarantino for kids, with a bit of a twist to it.
