Warner Bros. Pictures Animation chief Bill Damaschke unveiled at Annecy a new, filmmaker‑driven era for the studio’s animated features, led by a seven‑film slate that includes The Cat in the Hat arriving this November and projects such as Oh, The Places You’ll Go!, The Lunar Chronicles, Bad Fairies, Margie Claus, Dynamic Duo, and Prehistoria, plus the Looney Tunes short Daffy Season. The team has expanded from about 30 to roughly 250 core creatives in Burbank and 1,200+ globally, with a focus on individual films having their own voice, DNA, and the three Hs: heart, humor and hope, while honoring the Looney Tunes legacy.
