Doodle Toons

The Doodle Toons Movie (or simply Doodle Toons) is an upcoming 2017 Irish-American 3D computer-animated musical slapstick comedy film produced by Splash Animation and Clever Clover Productions. Based on the webtoon of the same name created by Jack Cabhan (known widely as cartoonlover98), it is being written and directed by webtoon creator Jack Cabhan and co-directed by Twist City and Sunnyside Nathan director Adrian Hancock, and co-written by Karey Kirkpatrick and Michael Arndt. It stars Josh Gad as Bellybutton, Grey Griffin as Jellybean, Lara Jill Miller as Goldie, Tara Strong as Pip, and Nathan Lane as Cruncher.

The film is scheduled to be released on October 27, 2017 by Paramount Pictures in 2D, Real D 3D and IMAX 3D theaters, and by YouTube Red Original Movie online.

Premise
Typical rabbit Bellybutton's cartoon animal-populated world is threatened when a ravenous bear acquires the assistance of a bear-resembling extraterrestrial race to feast on every rabbit he can find, unaware that it's more than the rabbits these beasts are after.

Plot
A small white rabbit named Bellybutton Lint (Josh Gad) sets off through his home forest to meet his girlfriend Jellybean (Grey Griffin), but along the way is confronted by a giant bear, named Bear (Brad Garrett), who plots to take him and Jellybean in for nourishment. Bear ends up losing the following Warner-style fight when Bellybutton tricks him into stucking himself in a barrel (which is covered with explosives) and ignites the fuse creating an explosion which sends the barrel flying off into space and taking the bear stuck inside with it. Arriving at Jellybean's house, Bellybutton finds Jelly delighted to see him but having lost her sanity after a bizarre dream centering on the events of The World Sizzles Before the Grizzles, a newly published science fiction book which, concurrently, Goldie (Lara Jill Miller) is reading to her adoptive sister Pip (Tara Strong) on a campout.

Development
Cabhan was initially concerned about the idea of an adaptation of the series, but eventually accepted an offer from Splash Animation producer Brandon Monroe in July 2015. A writing team consisting of Cabhan, Hancock, Karey Kirkpatrick, and Michael Arndt was assembled, conceiving the idea of a hero who must stop a force triggered by the rivalry between him and an oversized predator. A large portion of Hancock and Cabhan's conditions attached to any potential animated film was that The Doodle Toons Movie must at least be a slapstick comedy, to keep in touch with the webtoon's humor. Cabhan stated that his desire was to have the film composed in a much more vivid style and do something other than the "child pandering rubbish" seen in certain computer animated films today.

In December 2015, Splash Animation announced plans to release The Doodle Toons Movie on July 28, 2017. However, in January 2016, this film was taken off the release schedule, and the new release date was yet to be announced. In March 2016, the release date was pushed to October 27, 2017.
