Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation have set Six musical co-creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss as the songwriters for the new animated musical Bad Fairies. Grammy nominated composer Isabella Summers (aka The Machine of Florence & The Machine) is penning the score and producing the songs.
The studio has set a theatrical release of July 23, 2027. The pic is currently in production in London with DNEG Animation as the digital partners. We first told you about the project last June which follows a badass group of fairies in contemporary London who break all the rules. Megan Nicole Dong, creator and director of Netflix’s animated musical series Centaurworld, is directing and Deborah Frances-White, creator and host of popular podcast “The Guilty Feminist,” is writing the screenplay.
“Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation are excited to welcome this extraordinary dream team of musical talents, Toby Marlow, Lucy Moss and Isabella Summers into our Bad Fairies family,” said Bill Damaschke, President of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Mary Coleman, Chief Creative Officer of Locksmith Animation. “Together they will bring vibrant and unforgettable dimension to the story, and we cannot wait to share it with audiences around the world in 2027.”
Marlow and Moss won a Tony for Best Original Score for Six. Their new musical Why Am I So Single opens this autumn.
Bad Fairies is part of the first-look deal between Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation.
