Abominable (2019) - Blu-ray Forum

As you might know, the Chinese and now called Pearl Studio (previously Oriental Dreamworks) is no longer working exclusive for Dreamworks Animation. For example, the upcoming movie Over the Moon, is a partnership with Netflix. They will work with different partner studios.

Pearl chief creative officer Peilin Chou had this to say:

The studio wants to be a “premier family entertainment brand.” - “We are not afraid of our movies having a sophistication, and also being earnest, inspiring and joyful, versus cynical. Perhaps most uniquely, we are looking to awaken our audience. This means promoting diversity and global citizenry in our films – not in a way that is preachy or political, but in a way that just reflects the world as it really is. This gets to the heart of who we are as a company.”

Abominable has a U.S. release date of September 27th, 2019. Its name changed from Everest in May this year, and the film will be distributed by Universal Pictures stateside, and by Pearl in China. The director is Jill Culton (Open Season), with Todd Wilderman (Trolls, The Croods) as co-director. The film taps into Pearl’s desire to tell more Chinese-centric stories.

“One of the unique things about the film is that this is the first time a major global animated film will be set in modern day China, and will feature modern day Chinese teenagers,” said Chou. “Of course Kung Fu Panda 3, which we co-produced, was also set in China, but that was ancient China rather than modern day, and it was animals rather than humans. We are very excited to provide a backdrop and portrait of contemporary China, and believe it provides for a compelling hook, look, and setting for unique and engaging storytelling.”

In a few days, we might get a first look on this project via Annecy 2018.
