a CGI comedy feature pitch to be written by Tony Leech and Cory Edwards,
the talented duo behind the box office animated hit
HOODWINKED.

Blue Yonder Filmswill produce it along with Jonathan Shestack (Air Force One),
Brian Inerfeld and Gregory R. Little with
Studio Mainframe Entertainment.
Jeremy Stein of Jon Shestack Productions will co-produce.
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 rag-tag 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. (
