Dutch publishing superstar Miffy, the white rabbit created by author and illustrator Dick Bruna, is hopping onto the big screen in a feature film based on the Miffy and Friends animated TV series.
Production on Miffy the Movie has started in collaboration with A.Film Production in Denmark and a team of stop-motion animators in Latvia, with an expected worldwide theatrical release to take place in early 2013.
Telescreen Film Productions – a subsidiary of the German brand management and media company m4e AG – and Mercis, which manages the rights to the work of Dick Bruna, have joined forces with Warner Bros. Netherlands and Dutch public broadcaster KRO Television.
The preschool-targeted movie will follow Miffy and her friends as they go on a treasure hunt through the zoo.
