MULAN Director Tony Bancroft To Helm MINIBOTS Animated Film From The Writer of TERMINATOR 3

The director of Disney’s Mulan, Tony Bancroft, is set to helm a new animated feature film titled Minibots for Toonz Media Group and Evolutionary Films and Mojo Global Arts.

The script for the film comes from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines writer Michael Ferris, and the story follows “three young geniuses at a summer robotics camp who create sentient mini robots.”

The film “tracks their efforts to protect their creations from a powerful tech company seeking to acquire the technology.”

Toonz Media Group CEO P. Jayakumar said the collaboration with Evolutionary Films and Mojo Global Arts “has been a fantastic experience,” and calls the film a “lively, fun adventure.”

John Adams of Evolutionary Films added: “Minibots is a story that connects with the entire family. On the surface it is about clever kids who code robots, but the real message is one of collaboration, self-expression and discovery.”

Mojo Global Arts’ Sharon Wisnia noted that “the teens in the movie are relevant today, navigating new friendships while balancing technology and coming into their own.”

The project is set for theatrical release in 2026.
