HOLLYWOOD, June 8 (UPI) -- Hollywood's Jim Henson Co. says it is developing an animated film based on the "Frog and Toad" children's books by Arnold Lobel.
Craig Bartlett is writing the movie, which will be directed by Cory Edwards.
"'Frog and Toad' has tremendous value with parents who read these charming stories when they were children and are now sharing them with their own kids," Lisa Henson, chief executive officer of The Jim Henson Co., said in a statement Friday. "With such high caliber talent on board, the delightful and funny adventures of these two great friends -- with a nod to the classic 'buddy movie' -- will bring a whole new audience to their big-screen debut."
Lisa Henson will produce for The Jim Henson Co., creators of The Muppets. Adam Lobel and Adrianne Lobel will executive produce.
