A cartoon version of film comedy icon Harold Lloyd will star in a new series of animated features being developed by Cinesite Studios in partnership with the Harold Lloyd Estate and Comic Animations.
During his legendary comedy career, stretching from the mid-1910s through the late 1940s, Lloyd made nearly 200 features and one-reelers, helping craft the language of film comedy, along with contemporaries like Chaplin, Keaton, and Laurel & Hardy.
“Today’s films and filmmakers stand on the shoulders of Harold Lloyd with his innovations and unparalleled sense of story, camera and comedy,” said Dave Rosenbaum, Cinesite’s chief creative officer, who will develop the adaptations with Eamonn Butler, Cinesite’s executive animation director, and Suzanne Lloyd, granddaughter of Harold Lloyd and the owner of his film library.
