While Ellen Degeneres will be busting moves with her fans Friday night at the Bell Centre, dozens of Montreal animators and illustrators will be busting their own moves in the Old Montreal studio of Tonic DNA. They’ve been putting finishing touches to four episodes of the first season of the classic Dr. Seuss series Green Eggs and Ham, debuting on Netflix in November and produced by the ever-dancing Degeneres.

No word yet if the two sides will hook up during Degeneres’s layover in town, but she would certainly be blown away by the images being concocted in the cartoon studio.

“We have invited Ellen to come to the studio Friday, so we’ll see what happens,” says Stéfanie Bitton, one of the three Tonic DNA partners, along with Howard Huxham and original co-founder Pascal Blais. “It would be nice to say that she was coming to Montreal just for us, but that’s not quite the case.”

Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton, Keegan-Michael Key and Adam Devine (as Sam I Am) will be supplying some of the pipes for this series, which Netflix has described as a “postmodern Planes, Trains and Automobiles through the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss.”
