Fledgling animation house Shadedbox, which recently earned a Student Emmy Award for its animated short Little Red Plane, is teaming with Walt Disney Feature Animation to develop the CG-animated feature Let's Get Francis. Shadedbox is attached to direct the film, which is based on a script it is also developing. Disney executives do not comment on animated projects in development. Francis is set during the holiday season and revolves around two hamster brothers, Joe and Francis, who vie for the attention of customers inside a pet store in a bustling mall. When a little girl decides that Joe must be hers, Francis runs away in a jealous fit, prompting the ragtag crew of loyal pets to embark on an impossible mission to save their friend.
