Entertainment industry trade magazine Variety recently
profiled Paramount Pictures' efforts to ramp up their animation
division. In addition to new projects from producers Mary Parent and
J.J. Abrams, the studio is looking to fill up their pipeline with IPs
from sister division Nickelodeon. While Paramount didn't name names, Variety identifies the list as potentially including Dora the Explorer, Monkey Quest, and... wait for it.... The Legend of Korra.
Though Paramount's animation slate is currently a bit empty, with 2014's The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2 dominating the focus, new attention is being paid to filling in features for summer 2013 and beyond.
