Lionsgate has bought the rights to the computer-animated family comedy Happily N'Ever After.

The movie stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sigourney Weaver, Freddie Prinze Jr., George Carlin, Wallace Shawn and Andy Dick. It's a satirical retelling of the classic Cinderella story and is set in Fairy Tale Land, where the age-old balance between good and evil has been thrown out of whack, says The Hollywood Reporter. Led by Cinderella's (aka Ella, Gellar) power-mad stepmother, an unholy alliance of bad guys takes on the good guys. When Ella sees her own fairy tale take a radical turn, she sheds her damsel-in-distress trappings to lead the resistance.

Happily N'Ever After was written by Robert Moreland; it's directed by Paul J. Bolger. A 2007 release has been set.

Happily N'Ever After was released January 5th, 2007 and stars George Carlin, John Di Maggio, Andy Dick, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lisa Kaplan, Jill Talley, Tom Kenny, Tress MacNeille. The film is directed by Paul Bolger, Yvette Kaplan.
