Just in case you thought the "Sandra Bullock college days" series was
the worst TV idea you'd hear about today ... here's something even
sillier.
From Variety.com ...
Kids' Show With Ellen DeGeneres as 7-Year-Old
in Works at Warner Bros. Animation
---------------------------------------------
Ellen DeGeneres' latest project: She's reverting to her childhood.
In animated show "Little Ellen," the talk-show host and comedian
will be portrayed as a 7-year-old - who is, of course, "hilarious
and unpredictable," according to her company. The project is in
development at Ellen Digital Ventures and Warner Bros. Animation.
In the 2D animated series, "Little Ellen" will go on adventures,
exploring imaginative lands and meeting new friends. The show is
likely to include songs, as well. But it's not all fun and games:
Little Ellen takes big risks, makes huge mistakes but she's
always able to laugh at herself and bounce back when things
don't go as planned.
For now, additional details are scant on "Little Ellen." It's not
clear whether DeGeneres will lend her voice to "Little Ellen"; a
rep for Ellen Digital Ventures said no casting has been set. Also
yet to be determined are distribution plans for the show.
Warner Bros. Animation and DeGeneres have previously teamed on
the adaption of Dr Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham," slated to hit
Netflix in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The "Little Ellen" project is another offshoot for Ellen Digital
Ventures, a joint venture formed in 2014 between DeGeneres and
Warner Bros. that's aimed at extending her popular TV franchise
to digital businesses.
DeGeneres is a digital star in her own right. The entertainer's
cross-platform Ellen Digital Network (EDN) reaches over
270 million followers/visitors monthly and generates 1 billion
monthly views across platforms including YouTube, Facebook, and
the owned-and-operated Ellentube destination. EDN's programming
includes shows with actress Kristen Bell, activist-supermodel
Ashley Graham, Lea Michele, Hannah Hart, Ayesha Curry and viral
star Jay Shetty.
DeGeneres' digital business also includes gaming app "Heads Up!,"
consistently a top paid app in Apple's App Store with over
42 million downloads to date. In addition, EDN produces "Ellen on
the Go" podcast, an audio catch-up of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
Ellen Digital Ventures is led GM Michael Riley in partnership
with DeGeneres and the executive producers of "The Ellen
DeGeneres Show."
