posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Amazon announced on Wednesday that it has green-lit the Lost in Oz 3D CG animated project, based on L. Frank Baum's Oz series of books. Polygon Pictures (Knights of Sidonia, Ajin, Sanzoku no Musume Ronja) will animate the series, and it will stream through the Amazon Prime service worldwide at an as-yet unrevealed date. Amazon streamed a pilot episode for the project in June 2015.
Amazon describes the action adventure comedy story aimed at children:
When 12-year-old Dorothy Gale discovers her mother's mysterious journal in her Kansas home, she and her dog, Toto, are transported into a bustling, modern Emerald City. Disoriented and determined to get home, Dorothy embarks on an epic journey with West, a young witch, and Ojo, a giant Munchkin, to seek the magic she needs - as Oz faces its greatest magic crisis.
Bureau of Magic, a company established in 2014, is producing the project. Flaunt Productions (Project Spark, Under Siege) is credited for design. Adam Berry (The Penguins of Madagascar) is composing the music, while Mark Mothersbaugh (The LEGO Movie) is composing the theme music.
