Disney has partnered with Guillermo del Toro to create a new production imprint call Disney Double Dare You. DDY will create all ages horror animated features based on both original and already created works. Del Torro says, “As a director, I love to take audiences into fantastic new worlds and provide them with some anxious moments in the process. It is part of the Disney canon to create thrilling, unforgettable moments and villains in all their classic films. It is my privilege for DDY to continue in this tradition… I look forward to coming up with fresh and original stories that will take Disney films in a whole new direction. The emphasis is on fun, and we have some great ideas already on the storyboards.” The first project under the new production banner is an original story by Del Torro call Trollhunters. One has to wonder where Del Torro will find the time, beside bringing the Hobbit to the big screen, he's also bring Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5, and an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness.
