Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit creators Aardman Animations Ltd. are looking to revive The Tortoise and the Hare, reports Variety.
Aardman previously aborted production of the film, which shot for a few months in 2001 before script problems pushed it back into development.
The film is based on the classic story of the overconfident Hare in a race against the slow, but steady Tortoise.
The company's next project is Flushed Away, its first foray into CGI animation. Hitting theaters on November 3, it features the voices of Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Bill Nighy, Shane Richie, Geoffrey Palmer, Simon Callow and Jean Reno.
