Seven Little Monsters

Seven Little Monsters is a cancelled film produced by Universal Animation Studios. It was to be based on the children's picture book and TV series of the same name by American author and illustrator Maurice Sendak.

Production
In June 2009, it was announced that Universal Animation Studios had the rights to develop a live-action/CGI-animated film adaptation, with Rob Minkoff directing while Mike Johnson would produce. The film was originally set for a Christmas 2012 release, but it was pushed back to 2013. In March 2010, it was removed from the release schedule. Eventually, in July 2014, Universal shelved the project.

Trivia

 * Had it been released, it would've been the first Universal Animation Studios film to be a live-action/CGI-animated hybrid.
 * It would've also been the second film to be based on a book by Maurice Sendak, following the 2009 Spike Jonze-directed Where the Wild Things Are film.
 * It would also be the first film based on a PBS Kids TV series to be a live-action/CGI hybrid.
