The upcoming film is set to include Oscar winner Sam Rockwell, Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians, Raya and the Last Dragon), Marc Maron (Netflix’s GLOW), Craig Robinson (The Office), Anthony Ramos (Hamilton), Richard Ayoade (Paddington 2), Zazie Beetz (Deadpool, Atlanta), Lilly Singh, and Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). 

According to DreamWorks, the film will follow the exploits of a crackerjack group of criminal animals as they attempt one of their most challenging heists yet, becoming model citizens in the modern world.

The film is being adapted from the Scholastic book series written by Aaron Blabey and will be directed by Pierre Perifel, who will make his directorial debut with the feature. 

Perifel (who previously served as an animator on Kung Fu Panda and Shrek Forever After) will be joined by Etan Cohen, who will pen the script for the film along with Hilary Winston. Damon Ross and Rebecca Huntley will join as producers, with Blabey, Cohen, and Patrick Hughes all attached as executive producers.
