Cartoon
Network has announced the beginning of production on Reanimated,
their first original movie that combines cartoon characters
with live action.
Reanimated
tells the story of 12-year-old Jimmy Roberts who, while visiting
an amusement park, gets into a tragic accident and needs an
emergency brain transplant. The doctors give him the frozen
brain of a famous cartoonist, which enables Jimmy to see cartoons
wherever he goes.
Casting
is underway and the Los Angeles-based production will begin
shooting this spring. Reanimatedwill premiere on Cartoon
Network in August 2006.
"When
we read the script for Reanimated, we thought it was
innovative, irreverent and, most of all, funny. We knew we
had to make it. We think when it's done the 'Cartoon Network'
way, kids will enjoy seeing animation and the real world collide,"
said Cartoon Network executive vice president and general
manager Jim Samples.
 Reanimated
is created by Adam Pava and Tim McKeon. Both were writers
on Cartoon Network's hit series Foster's Home for Imaginary
Friends and The Life & Times of Juniper Lee.
