Flanimals in film version
Ricky Gervais' Flanimals children's books are to be turned into a CGI feature film, in a deal between Faber & Faber and Illumination Films.
The film will be produced by Chris Meledandri, who recently produced "The Simpsons Movie" and "Ice Age".
Gervais said: "I'm very excited about "Flanimals The Movie" because I'll probably be the part of Puddloflag. It will be weird to hear my voice coming out of a short, fat, purple, sweaty creature (with a Reading accent)."
In addition, according to Faber, the three Flanimals titles, Flanimals, More Flanimals, Flanimals of the Deep and Flanimals: Day of the Bletchling, which are illustrated by Rob Steen, have recently reached 1 million copies in print.
