Warner Bros. has big ambitions for its animation division, and the studio has zeroed in on the talent to help steer the ship on two popular properties.
Sources tell Variety that Warners and Warner Animation Group (WAG) are in negotiations with Tim Story to direct the new "Tom and Jerry" live-action/animated hybrid.
The studio has also brought on "Harry Potter" filmmaker Chris Columbus as creative producer on the new "Scooby-Doo" animated movie.
Tom and Jerry began as a series of long-running shorts in 1940, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The series centered around the exploits of a cat, Tom, and his relentless arguments and tussles with Jerry, a mouse.
The cat and mouse pair, till date, remains one of the most popular in pop culture consciousness.
Seven of the shorts, released by MGM, won Oscars from 1943-53.
