Warner Bros. Pictures Animation Orders Prehistoria From Vivienne Medrano

Warner Bros. framed the project as part of a push to reach creator-built audiences by backing Medrano’s first feature as writer-director.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. Pictures Animation announced Prehistoria on Monday at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and showed a first-look image from the project.
  • Vivienne Medrano, known online as VivziePop, is reported to write and direct the original animated musical, marking her feature-film debut.
  • The film is described as a “fossil fantasy” set outside Medrano’s Hellaverse and features prehistoric characters with magical elements.
  • Warner Bros. says Prehistoria is being prepared for theatrical release but key details such as rating, animation style, cast, release date, and full production team have not been disclosed.
  • Medrano built her audience on YouTube with Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss before those series moved to Prime Video, and the studio framed this deal as a way to tap creator-driven fanbases for original theatrical animation.
