Eric Animations

Eric Animations: The Ultimate Epic Movie (also known as Eric Animations: The Movie in some countries, and formally known as The Eric Show: The Movie) is an upcoming 2018 3D hand-drawn/Flash/CGI computer-animated action-adventure family comedy-drama science fiction crossover musical film directed by Henry Norton, James Sharp, Lamount Meeks, Steven Spielberg, Alvin Hung, Clay Kaytis, D.A. Nichols, and Abbey Thickson.

The film is based on the animated television series The Eric Show created by Prince Boadu and Julian Badit, also known by their pseudonyms PFilms207 and ThatGreenSwagGuy, and serves as a spin-off to the 2017 film Alvin Hung And The Go!Fags: The Movie that was produced by Go!Animate Studios and distributed by Columbia Pictures. Eric Animations: The Ultimate Epic Movie is also the first theatrical film based on a Go!Animate Network series and the third theatrical film based on a Cartoon Network series. The first theatrical Cartoon Network film was The Powerpuff Girls Movie, and the second was Regular Show: The Movie.

The film is planned to be a reboot to The Eric Show, and it is The Go!Animate Company's first CGI animated film after Go!Animate and The Henry Norton Group launched Go!Animate DreamWorks Pictures, which is a merger between Go!Animate and DreamWorks Pictures, and Animation, since the company has been making non-CGI animated films, such as the films in the Taylor's Series Saga franchise. The film is somewhat inspired by a 2015 fan-made film MYCUN. The film stars the voices of Zachary Gordon, Kevin Spacey, and others. As a crossover film, Eric Animations: The Ultimate Epic Movie also features characters from Gabriel Garza, Despicable Me, Adventure Time, FusionFall, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, and many others. Most of the actors and actresses, such as Steve Carell, Kristin Wig, Dan Castellaneta, Ryan Porter, Dana Galler, Tom Kenny, Roger Bumpass, Miranda Cosgrove, Chris Pratt, Kate McKinnon, and others, will reprise their roles in the film, with exceptions of John Ritter and Christine Cavanaugh, who were both replaced by Luke Wilson and Max Charles respectively.

The film is produced by The Go!Animate Company, Warner Bros. Animation (under the Warner Animation Group feature film unit), NicThic Productions, Cartoon Network, Colin Entertainment, Ltd., GreenyWorld Studios, DHX Media, Annapurna Pictures, and Nickelodeon Movies, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures in US prints, along with Sony Pictures Entertainment in US and International prints.

The film will be released in June 2018.

Development
In October 2016, The Go!Animate Company announced plans of producing a feature-length film based on Go!Animate Network and Cartoon Network's original series The Eric Show, and to team up with Henry Norton, Prince Boadu, and Julian Badit on developing the film. The film was originally titled as The Eric Show: The Movie. Henry Norton, Prince Boadu, and Julian Badit stated that they wanted to make the film that would "transcend generations". This is the first Go!Animated film to be a mix of hand-drawn animation, 2D digital Flash animation, and 3D computer generated imagery (CGI).

The film was planned to be produced by John Harry Lau Productions, but in March 20, 2017, John Harry Lau announced that he did not want to work on the development of the film. However, in April 4, 2017, John Harry Lau decided to return to working on the production of the film. (See Trivia for more.) On March 21, 2017, Paramount Animation, a animation division of Paramount Pictures announced that the company would co-produce the film. 6 days later, James Sharp, also known by his nickname "Sharpness Knight", agreed to help Henry Norton develop the film as the producer and scriptwriter for the film. He also agreed to have his animation company Sharpness Knight Animation Studios, along with GreenyWorld Studios, and GreenyToons Animation Studios, co-produce the film.

In March 25, 2017, NDCUnivercity Media, a parody of NBCUniversal agreed to help with the development of the film, and NDCUnivercity Animation Studios (now Laka Animation Studios) was added to produce the film on April 18, 2017. Univercity Pictures was also added on the same day as an International film distributor beside Paramount Pictures, but under Universal Pictures, which Univercity is parodized to. 5 days later, Univercity Pictures and NDCUniversal Animation Studios were both removed from producing and distributing the film. (See Trivia for more.) Universal will distribute the film along with Paramount Internationally instead of Univercity, and DreamWorks Animation and Illumination Entertainment will co-produce the film instead of NDCUnivercity Animation Studios. NDCUnivercity will still produce the film only under Universal Studios. In May 11, 2017, Adult Mall Movies, Adult Mall Movies, Colin Entertainment, Ltd., Cloudscape Pictures, Super Team Friends Family (now Super Team Friends), and ImageMovers were both added to co-produce the film.
