Arriving from the writers of Hoodwinked, Tony Leech and Cory Edwards, is a new computer animated comedy that’s far from down-to-earth. The rights for Escape from Planet Earth have been acquired by The Weinstein Company, indicates The Big Cartoon Database. “Escape from Planet Earth, an original idea by Leech, is a comedy about a prison break where the prison is actually Area 51, a mysterious government facility where the inmates are a ragtag group of aliens from every corner of the universe. Gary, a neurotic alien hero, must overcome his fears and self-doubt to lead a daring escape, not only from Area 51, but from the Earth itself, where no alien dares to go, as not a single one has ever returned.”
