Based on animated shorts by Alex Orrelle and J. P. Vine, the 3DCG/live-action hybrid series follows four high-octane, stunt-loving Alaskan Lemmings who accidentally crash-land in the big city.
The Jim Henson Company has teamed with Los Angeles based independent animation production company The Operating Room to develop the new CG/live-action hybrid series Adrenaline Lemmings. The project is created by Alex Orrelle (Klaus, The Incredibles, Space Jam: A New Legacy), David M. Israel (Dynasty, 3rd Rock from the Sun, About a Boy), and Oded Turgeman (Summer Memories, Hawkmaster).
Adrenaline Lemmings features four high-octane, stunt-loving Alaskan Lemmings who accidentally crash-land in the big city. While training for an X-Games-style competition where their danger-defying skills could earn them a trip back home, they learn to thrive in this unfamiliar environment and embrace its unusual animal society. The series is based on animated shorts by Orrelle and J. P. Vine (Ron's Gone Wrong, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur).
"We here at The Jim Henson Company have a special affinity for wild, subversive, and hilarious animal characters that both resonate with kid audiences and inspire them to leap outside their comfort zones to embrace new experiences," said Halle Stanford, President of Television at The Jim Henson Company. "Adrenaline Lemmings allows us to branch out in older kids' animation with an exciting live action/CG hybrid look and do 'daring' physical character comedy for kids, in the tradition of some of our company's best-known productions."
"It was a childhood dream of mine to work with The Jim Henson Company, and as an adult it has been a goal of mine to work with Halle Stanford and her team,” said Turgeman, President of The Operating Room. “I'm so happy that the Lemmings have made it happen. I believe that our band of radical Lemmings will reach the hearts of kids all over the world."
"We are thrilled to collaborate with The Jim Henson Company on Adrenaline Lemmings and look forward to turning these daring and quirky characters into a successful franchise together," added Roby Freireich, Founder and Partner of The Operating Room.
