New Feature

Their own fire-breathing reptile:

George R.R. Martin is making his first foray into family films with Warner Animation Group adapting his 1980 children’s book The Ice Dragon for the big screen. ...

The book is not set in the realm of Martin’s Seven Kingdoms, but rather in a world of medieval fantasy where warring kingdoms harness the power of fire breathing dragons. It’s the story of a young girl named Adara, who secretly befriends a rare Ice Dragon. ...

The Ice Dragon, categorized as Young Adult Fiction (if you want a category) was written in 1980 when Mr. Martin was in his early thirties and a new arrival to Santa Fe, New Mexico. At the time, he had left a teaching position at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa to take up writing full-time.

The author will be one of the movie's producers, and development is happening now. My guess is animation will be done by Animal Logic in Australia, which is Warner Animation Group's go-to overseas production house.
