D3Publisher is proud to announce that the main voice talent from the upcoming animated film adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline will be reprising their roles in the video game adaptation.
D3Publisher announced an aggressive push into kid-friendly games this morning with two announcements: First, the publisher has entered into an agreement with Universal Pictures to release video games based on the upcoming animated film Coraline, an adaptation of the gothic fairytale novella by Neil Gaiman. The Coraline game will be coming to consoles and handheld systems in 2009.
Second, D3P will release a DS title based on Aardman Animation’s Shaun the Sheep TV series on February 6, 2009. When Kotaku visited D3P’s press event last week in New York City, we got to take a look at the Shaun the Sheep game, and we also recently spoke to D3P of America’s executive vice president Yoji Takenaka about the agreement and the new titles.
