Animation outfit Toonz Media Group has acquired rights to make a feature adaptation of the children’s book Santa on a Panda written by Parker Jacobs (Yo Gabba Gabba) of the Dumb Idea Group with Multi-Emmy Award-Winner Brian A. Miller (Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Primal) signed on to produce.
Based on the children’s book and song, Santa on a Panda will be produced by Toonz Media Group.

Will they make it in time to save Christmas?
