Club Penguin: The Movie

Club Penguin: The Movie (also known as Club Penguin: The Movie - The Adventure Begins or Club Penguin) is an upcoming 2017 Canadian-American 3D computer-animated musical comedy-adventure family film based on the 2007 Disney video game of the same name by Lane Merrifield, who later signed up to produce the movie along with Colin Lloyd Pendergast.

Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Colin Entertainment, Ltd., and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, this film is directed by Chris Buck, produced by Colin Lloyd Pendergast and Lane Merrifield, and executive produced by John Lasseter. The film will be released in March 29, 2017, the same day that Club Penguin would be discontinued to make way for its successor Club Penguin Island.

Summarry
Because the EPF was soon rushing over to Herbert P. Bear, Club Penguin became completely defenseless. Herbert is successfully able to bomb the EPF Headquarters and kidnap Gary the Gadget Guy, which allows him to conquer the Club Penguin Island. Two penguins named Paxton and Olivia are recruited as EPF Agents to stop Herbert and liberate Club Penguin.

Development
In late 2015, Colin Lloyd Pendergast is writing the script for a Club Penguin feature film, as he got the permission from Walt Disney Studios with the special help of Chris Buck (who also directed the 2013 3D computer-animated musical fantasy film Frozen). In March 17, 2016, the script is completed. The film was originally going to be released in October 24, 2017 for the 12th anniversary for the game, but it was changed to March 29 as the original Club Penguin game would be discontinued to make way for its successor Club Penguin Island.

Casting
During pre-production, John Hurt is hired by Pendergast, and he confirmed his role as the secondary antagonist name Doctor Skia. A few weeks later, he finished recording the lines on January 20, until five days later, he was passed away on January 25, 2017.

Animation
The character designs of the penguins are illustrated by Lane Merrifield and Colin Lloyd Pendergast. Those character designs for the movie are similar to the character designs from the game. After pre-production wrapped up, Walt Disney Animation Studios will create the computer animation for the penguins, the puffles, the characters, and the Antarctica-like environment.

Post Production
