Studio 100 Intl., in collaboration with Germany’s Caligari Film and Studio Isar Animation, and Spain’s 3 Doubles Producciones, is to produce action-comedy CGI movie “Dougie Dolittle.”
Targeting a core demographic of 8-12 year olds and a family audience, the movie is planned for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2026. Studio 100 Film is handling global sales and will introduce the film at Marché du Film in Cannes.
“Dougie Dolittle” tells the story of a teenager with an animal phobia, who discovers an astonishing ability after a chance encounter with Polly, a long-lost family parrot. Dougie realizes he can communicate with animals, a gift that initially feels more like a curse.
Throughout his journey, Dougie learns to embrace his fears and use his newfound talent to aid his animal companions in their battle against the unscrupulous animal food company Kingcorps, save the city from chaos, and embrace his destiny.

You may not have noticed it, what with so much content coming out on Netflix each week, but the company has been ramping up big time on original animation over the past two years. From last year’s Oscar nominee “I Lost My Body” to internal productions “The Willoughbys” and “Klaus,” Netflix’s cartoon offerings have already reached a point to rival Pixar and DreamWorks. By the year 2023, streamer estimates that they will produce more feature-length animated titles than all the Hollywood studios combined.
Timed to China’s Mid-Autumn Festival, Oct. 23 release “Over the Moon” marks a turning point in that push for world domination: It’s not just another tiny toon entry on Netflix’s slate (à la such low-cost pickups as “Fe@rLess” and “Latte & the Magic Waterstone”), but a major, Disney-level production overseen by a major, Disney-level talent, Glen Keane — the gifted artist responsible for bringing to life such characters as Ariel,...

Today marks the end of the month and therefore the final content drop from Netflix for July, but it’s certainly been an excellent 31 days to be a subscriber to the service. This month has brought with it big movies like Million Dollar Baby, Patriots Day, Paranormal Activity and The Karate Kid trilogy alongside the addition of new shows like Warrior Nun and Cursed – the latter of which is now the platform’s top scripted series.
But as great as all of that has been, many subscribers have been waiting for this day to see the return of a very popular show that took the world by storm when it debuted last year. Of course, that show is The Umbrella Academy, and all ten episodes of its second season are available right now. The sophomore entry is already doing exceptionally well, too, sitting at an impressive 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
