Not too hot, not too cold, but just right!  This classic fairytale gets a modern makeover in the upcoming release of the CGI animation, GOLDILOCKS AND THE 3 BEARS. Once again, the highly respected Jim Henson Company, Prana Animation Studios and Flame Ventures, produce another hilarious addition for the charming “Unstable Fables” collection. Brought to you by Genius Products and The Weinstein Company, this revamped children’s classic will be debuting on DVD December 16th.

UNSTABLE FABLES: GOLDILOCKS AND THE 3 BEARS meets up with the famous porridge-lover as a spoiled television star.  In order to bump up her career, she and the Bears agree to star in a reality television show which puts them live in front of the world 24/7 as they live in a house together.  The house faces struggles as they have to find a way to peacefully co-exist in order to boost ratings and get Goldilocks’ career back on track.

This hilarious and touching tale is perfect for the entire family.  Featuring the voices of Golden Globe nominee* Brooke Shields (“Lipstick Jungle,” “Hannah Montana”), Tom Arnold (“Chasing Christmas”) and Jamie Lynn Spears (“Zoey 101”), UNSTABLE FABLES: GOLDILOCKS AND THE 3 BEARS is yet another instant classic for The Jim Henson Company.

The trades are reporting details about The Jim Henson Company picking up a spec script, The Happytime Murders, which takes a more daring path into adult territory for the company that specializes in kid’s entertainment.

Brian Henson is set to direct Happytime, a comedic film noir murder mystery, which falls under the company’s Henson Alternative banner, a sector of the company developing projects not intended for children. The story takes place in a world where humans and puppets co-exist, with the puppets viewed as second-class citizens. When the puppet cast of an ’80s children’s TV show called “The Happytime Gang” begins to get murdered one by one, a disgraced LAPD detective-turned-private eye puppet — with a drinking problem, no less — takes on the case.

According to the trades, this would not be the first time that Henson is taking a more adult approach to movie making. In 1982, the company made The Dark Crystal, featuring a dark tone with one nudity scene.

Happytime has an obvious absurdist and comedic quality to it, comparable to Broadway’s “Avenue Q,” and will take cues from such movies as L.A. Confidential and Pulp Fiction.
