![]() “There is no one more talented, skilled or experienced in leading animated films than Sandy and Penney,” said Original Force founder and president Harley Zhao. The longtime producing partners left DreamWorks to set up Sony’s feature animation unit in 2002, where they brought to screen the studio’s first two films: Open Season and Surf’s Up. Rabins and Cox were executives in the early days of DreamWorks Animation, helping to set up the studio’s operations while producing films such as Antz, Shrek, and The Prince of Egypt. The studio’s new feature animation division in Los Angeles will be run by two experienced Hollywood animation veterans, who will also serve as co-presidents of the new division: Sandra Rabins and Penney Finkelman Cox. Jenkins wrote the script with Rob Muir ( Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue). The film will be directed by Chris Jenkins, who produced DreamWorks Animation’s recent feature Home and prior to that had worked as an effects animator at Disney in the 1980s and ’90s. The studio is currently in production on Duck Duck Goose, about a bachelor goose named Peng who becomes a surrogate father to two young ducklings, Chi and Chao. Chinese studio Original Force Animation is moving into the world of animated features with the announcement of a new Los Angeles-based motion picture division and its first original animated feature.
