Fox Sweeps Up Princes

From the Reporter:
... Fox Animation has acquired the movie rights to children’s book "The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom" by first-time author Christopher Healy.

Chernin Entertainment, which produced Rise of the Planet of the Apes, is attached to produce. ...

Where will this get produced? My first hunch would have been Fox-owned Blue Sky Studios in Connecticut, but with Chernin Entertainment -- a company owned by former Fox topkick Peter Chernin -- producing, maybe it goes to Weta Digital in New Zealand, maybe to a shop in Canada, maybe to some production house in Southern California.

(Chernin Entertainment has been involved in various types of animation. Rise of Planet of the Apes, most obviously, but also in television cartoons. Allen Gregory, a not overly successful prime-time animated half-hour, was in Chernin Entertainment's wheelhouse.)
