Deadline is reporting that Netflix has picked up the distribution rights to the animated movie White Fang, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival last month.
Directed by Oscar winner Alexandre Espigares, and featuring a voice cast that includes Nick Offerman, Rashida Jones, Paul Giamatti and Eddie Spears, White Fang is based upon Jack London’s classic 1906 novel, which tells the story of a canine’s pull between life in the wild and a life of domestication.
“We always wanted to bring this timeless and thrilling adventure story to as wide an audience as possible and Netflix’s expansive reach gives us that opportunity,” rads the official statement from the filmmakers. “Their passion for the film and commitment to its success is more than anything we could hope for.”
