When A Children's Author Makes Her Book Darker, The Characters Rebel

Miranda is a children's book writer who just can't seem to sell her book, Danny and the Wild Bunch, even though she has regular conversations with its main character. But when she tries the editors' suggestions to make her story "darker" and grittier, Miranda's life becomes darker as well.

Robert Rugan wrote and directed Danny and the Wild Bunch, and it's fun to watch chipper, CG characters go all horror movie on our heroine. Plus, the Pixar-like feel of the hand-drawn designs of the credits just makes it.
