Global Constellation has boarded international sales on upcoming CG family animation “Mission Granny,” which has a Euros 10 million ($11.3 million) budget. The company has shared an exclusive first-look image with Variety.
The film, which is directed by Toni Weiss, is from the producers of “Marnie’s World” and “The 7th Dwarf,” and the animation studios behind “The Ogglies,” “My Fairy Troublemaker” and “Giants of La Mancha.”
“Mission Granny” follows brother and sister Paul, 8, and Kat, 12, who are shipped off to spend four months with their super-strict grandma. They don’t expect to discover their granny was once a world-class secret agent. But when her old friend turned nemesis has her kidnapped, it’s up to Paul and Kat to team up, gear up, and save the day … spy-style. They’ll have to train like agents, chase down villains, and stop a satellite-powered vaporizer before it destroys their mom’s space station, all before bedtime.
In a statement, Global Constellation said: “ ‘Mission Granny’ is a wildly entertaining ride packed with humor, heart, and high-stakes adventure, with a seriously bad-ass grandma … the kind of film that brings every generation together.”
The film is slated for a Q1 2028 delivery, with a first teaser to be unveiled later this year at the American Film Market.
“Mission Granny” is written by Regine Anour, Andreas Schmied and John Hoernschemeyer, and produced by Loredana Rehekampff for Austria’s Samsara Filmproduktion and Jan Bonath for Germany’s White Spot Films.
The film is part of Global Constellation’s growing animation and family slate, which also includes “The Last Whale Singer,” “The Growcodile,” “The Last Dinosaur” and “Carmen” — all targeting global theatrical audiences.
Global Constellation operates under the Playtime banner of the Vuelta Group, a pan-European film group with operations spanning production, distribution and sales.
