Williams Goes From Ogres To Geckos For New Feature

John H. Williams of Vanguard Animation is at it again with a new CGI feature. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Shrek producer is interested in the children's mystery book series, Chet Gecko, by author Bruce Hale and is currently negotiating with two studios for distribution. Williams stated, "Chet Gecko is a great parody of the gumshoe detective genre. Hale excels at transporting classic film noir scenarios into new comedy contexts."

Jordan Katz has combined a myriad of storylines from the series to create the initial script and is contemplating either The Hamster of Baskerville or Danger is My Beeswax as the title.

The Beverly Hills-based Vanguard Animation is a part of Vanguard Films and will be opening a CG studio of its own with artists from companies such as WETA digital and Menace Visual Effects. Vanguard is currently working on Pet Boy at Nickelodeon/Paramount and Young McDonald, the animated series, at Disney.
