The movie will be animated, presumably to spare more sensitive viewers the nightmare-inducing experience of watching some actor in a mo-cap suit slowly detaching their head from their neck to expose a neatly stacked tower of slightly stale sugar lumps where their internal organs should be.

Or, given that rights to those characters are expensive and Envision’s biggest hit to date was the modest indie film Celeste And Jesse Forever, it could be a clown and a bunny rabbit hopping around.
