The companies will create animated specials inspired by Meteor 17 Books’ “Don McLean’s American Pie: A Fable,” “Vincent: Starry Starry Night,” and more.
“Meteor 17’s projects and Proffer’s vision are ripe to animate for young minds to feel inspiration, hope, and dream potential, which is what each of the M17 projects and books speaks to, we are very excited to see how iconic worldwide hit songs and social topics that count, can be used as inspiration for animated kids’ content,” said Demente Animation CEO Carlos Gaxiola.
“The opportunity to animate these titles cinematically offers an entirely new way to experience our thoughtfully written and brilliantly illustrated books,” added Proffer. “We will leap off the page into imagination, fantasy, and playfulness, adding music and nuanced layers to expand on the storytelling adventure.”
The team plans to decorate each segment with original songs and bring the themes embodied in the books and M17 documentaries to life using animation.
