Shrek producer John H. Williams and Henry Skelsey, managing partner of Fulton Capital Management LLC, have formed 3QU Media, according to a report by Variety.

3QU Media will specialize in CG-animated feature films for the international marketplace with an initial slate of four films with budgets under $20 million, starting with animated comedy Charming.

Directed and written by Ross Venokur, Charming re-imagines the tales of Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty after they discover they are all engaged to the same Prince Charming.

“Our purpose is to produce mainstream and commercially successful CG-animated family films with elements of comedy, adventure, romance and personal inspiration for the global market,” Williams reportedly said.

3QU Media is producing in association with WV Enterprises. Williams is producing and SC Films International is handling foreign sales.

Production has started at Cinesite’s new animation studio in Montreal.
