Animation Lab

Animation Lab was an animation studio based in Jerusalem and Los Angeles.[1]

Founded in 2006, and backed by Israeli Venture Capital firm Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP), the studio was developing its first feature film, The Wild Bunch, as the first feature-length CGI animation film produced in Israel. The story was to involve genetically modified cornstalks trying to take over a meadow populated by common wildflowers. Philip LaZebnik was hired to write the screenplay, and Alexander Williams was slated to make his directorial debut.[2][3][4][5]

Animation Lab closed in 2013.[6]
