Amazon MGM Studios Announces Animated Mad Hatter Film
Amazon MGM Studios confirmed that an animated feature centered on the Mad Hatter from Lewis Carroll’s *Alice in Wonderland* is in development. The project will be adapted by Scott Mosier, known for his work as a producer and actor in the *Clerks* franchise.
Production Team and Partnerships
The film is being produced by Adam Nagle through the animation studio Aniventure. Negotiations for the partnership were led by Aniventure’s Chief Content Officer Joe Della Rosa, along with Sasha Levites and Adam Macy of Frankfurt Kernit. Mosier is represented by the agencies WME, Untitled Entertainment, and Sloss Eckhouse Dasti Haynes Loco.
Mosier’s Animation Background
Scott Mosier previously wrote and produced the 2013 animated comedy *Free Birds* and provided voice work for titles such as *Sing 2*, *The Secret Life of Pets II*, and *The Grinch*. He directed Illumination’s 2018 animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s *The Grinch*, which earned more than $500 million worldwide, and co-directed *Minions & More 2* for the same studio.
Aniventure’s Role and Track Record
Founded in 2014, Aniventure has developed, produced, and distributed animated films and series for a range of studios, including Amazon, Netflix, Paramount, and Sony. Its involvement in the Mad Hatter project reflects its ongoing collaborations with major distributors and its focus on family-oriented animation.
Potential Impact and Outlook
The Mad Hatter film adds to Amazon MGM Studios’ expanding slate of original animated content. By pairing Mosier’s experience with Aniventure’s production capabilities, the project aims to leverage the recognizable literary character for a new audience, potentially strengthening the studio’s position in the competitive streaming-animation market. Further details on release timing and distribution will be announced as production progresses.
