The animated adventure was written and directed by Kevin R. Adams and Joe Ksander, who produced the short animated films Gear and Enter the Sandbox.
Netflix purchased the global distribution rights for Next Gen at Cannes in May for a whopping $30 million, according to Deadline, though Alibaba and Wanda will handle distribution in China.
Adams has extensive experience in animation having worked on such features as Kronk’s New Groove, Tarzan 2, Home on the Range, Hercules and The Emperor’s New Groove under various roles.
