Ubisoft and Sony Pictures Sign Multi-title Publishing Agreement Can't Post
Ubisoft announced that it has concluded an exclusive multi-title licensing agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products to develop and publish games based on Open Season and Surf's Up, the first two feature-length animated films from Sony Pictures Animation.

This collaboration not only represents Ubisoft's first venture into adapting CGI films for the videogame market, but also the beginning of a long-term collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation and SPCP. It furthermore reinforces Ubisoft's efforts to maintain a diverse catalogue that appeals to gamers of all ages.

The agreement between SPCP and Ubisoft also includes Surf's Up, a "mockumentary" based on the groundbreaking revelation that surfing was actually invented by penguins! The Film is being directed by Ash Brannon (Toy Story 2) and Chris Buck (Tarzan), and produced by Chris Jenkins (credits include The Hunchback of Notre Dame). Surf's Up and its videogame adaptation are both scheduled for release in summer 2007. CGI animation for both films is by Sony Pictures Imageworks.

Ubisoft's Montreal studio will be developing the games based on both Open Season and Surf's Up, working in close collaboration with the production teams at Sony Pictures Animation to ensure the videogames are faithful renderings both artistically and narratively. The Open Season title will be released on all available formats in conjunction with the film's debut in theatres, scheduled for September 29, 2006.
