Spwag struck a deal with sales, finance and production house HandMade Films International for the Ilion Animation Studios' project.
Spwag president Steven Bersch, Ilion Animation Studios CEO Ignacio Perez Dolset and Guy Collins, chairman of HandMade Films International announced the deal Thursday.

Dolset said: "Having Sony come on board with this project is the culmination of a decade-long journey and we are thrilled to be partnering with them in bringing this unique animation experience to cinema-goers in the U.S."...
