The last two original animated films that Warner Animation Group (WAG) has released – Storks and Smallfoot – haven’t quite excited audiences the way that the studio had hoped, so the studio is returning to safer grounds: reboots of vintage IP that it owns from the Warner Bros., MGM, and Hanna Barbera libraries.

According to a piece today in Variety, WAG is currently developing no less than seven fully-animated or hybrid features based on classic characters.

This represents a significant shift from WAG’s earlier strategy of developing a close-knit creative “think tank” that would create original filmmaker-driven films. The new reboot strategy is being overseen by WAG executive Allison Abbate, as well as Jesse Ehrman and president of production Courtenay Valenti.
