Overview
- Warner Bros. Pictures Animation announced the partnership at its Annecy presentation where president Bill Damaschke showed first-look artwork and described Prehistoria as a theatrical animated musical.
- The project is an original feature outside Medrano’s Hellaverse and the creator said the film represents a long-held story and her feature debut.
- Details remain limited because the film is in early development and the studio has not disclosed a release date, cast, budget, or full creative team.
- Medrano rose to prominence with the 2019 Hazbin Hotel YouTube pilot and has since moved that franchise into streaming through SpindleHorse’s partnerships with companies including A24 and Amazon MGM Studios.
- Warner Bros. framed the deal as part of a strategy to tap creators with strong direct-to-fan followings and using Annecy to showcase creator-led projects could lead to more studio partnerships with indie animators.
