Guardians of Ga’Hoole Series to be Animated

Warner Brothers has acquired film rights to Kathryn Lasky’s children’s fantasy series Guardians of Ga’Hoole and set it up as a computer-animated film, with Donald De Line producing, Variety reported.

Lasky’s seven-book series revolves around a parallel universe featuring a cast of owls and magic transformations. The first book begins with a young barn owl being pushed out of his family’s nest by his older brother and then being rescued by agents from a mysterious school for orphaned owls, the trade paper reported. Lasky will write the screenplay and executive-produce.
