From Corona's Coming Attractions site:
"Dimension Films has bought the rights to create an animated feature film based
on the character of Opus the penquin, created by cartoonist Berkeley Breathed
and that appeared in the popular comic strip series Bloom County. Opus' creator
is attached to write and direct the Opus movie. Breathed has completed a short
animated film titled Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big, starring the voices of
Frances McDormand, John Cleese and Haley Joel Osment.
"Opus and the great folks at Dimension Films are made for each other," said
Breathed in a company press release. "Think of it: Opus is sweet, funny, smart
and doesn't wear any pants at work."
The movie will be intended for family audiences."

Hmm. I loved "Bloom County" and the whole subversive gang, but this has me
scratching my head.
scratching my head.
I'm sorry, I guess I'm just feeling cranky tonight. Perhaps I'm just still a
bit put off that Breathed stepped away from something that most of us in the
cartooning biz spend our lives working toward, let it sit fairly idle for
several years, and now sees an opportunity to squeeze a little more juice
out of the old orange.
I dunno. Am I off my rocker here or what?
