Justin Springer, who counts the studio’s Dumbo and Tron Legacy among his credits, is producing the feature being developed for the studio’s Disney+ streaming service.

Robin Hood was a comedic and musical take on the famous tale, with anthropomorphic animals inhabiting the roles of the characters made famous over the centuries. Hood was a fox; Little John, a bear; Friar Tuck, a badger; Prince John, a thumb-sucking lion; the sheriff of Nottingham, a wolf; and Maid Marian, a vixen.

The movie has seen its critical appraisal rise, fall and rise again over the years, although its influence seems long-lasting. One of the songs, "Love," was nominated for an Oscar, while another, "Oo De Lally," is well known.

The new take is said to be a musical and again will feature the characters as anthropomorphic, this time in a live-action/CG hybrid format.

The deals were inked before Hollywood’s lockdown. The project is in early development.

Granlund co-wrote the script for Godmothered, a Disney+ feature starring Jillian Bell and Isla Fisher that recently wrapped and is now in post-production.

In addition to Blindspotting, which starred Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs, Estrada directed an episode of Legion, FX’s trippy thriller based on a Marvel Comics character, and wrapped Summertime, a drama featuring teen poets from various Los Angeles neighborhoods. The drama debuted at Sundance. Estrada also is working on a theatrical feature for Walt Disney Animation.

Estrada is repped by UTA and Ziffren Brittenham. Granlund is repped by Verve and Industry Entertainment.
