Production

Production on Wonder Park commenced in September 2014.[7] In June 2015, it was revealed that Spain's Ilion Animation Studios would produce the fully animated 3D film.[8] In November 2015, Paramount Animation officially announced the project originally titled Amusement Park, with animator Dylan Brown helming.[9] The voices in the film would be provided by Matthew Broderick, Jennifer Garner, Ken Hudson Campbell (originally Jeffrey Tambor),[10] Kenan Thompson, Ken Jeong, Mila Kunis, and John Oliver.[9]

In January 2018, it was reported that director Brown was fired from the production by Paramount Pictures following an investigation into complaints of "inappropriate and unwanted conduct". No replacement as the film's director was announced at that time. David Feiss was later announced as Brown's replacement.[11] In April 2018, the title of the film was changed from Amusement Park to Wonder Park.[12]

Release

Wonder Park is scheduled to be released on March 15, 2019, by Paramount Pictures in 3D.[13] The film was originally going to be released on March 22, 2019.[9] In January 2017, it was moved up from its original release date of March 22, 2019 to July 13, 2018.[13] A few months later, it was pushed back from July 13, 2018 to August 10, 2018,[14] and by August 2017, it was pushed back for a final time from August 10, 2018 to March 15, 2019.[13]

Marketing

On July 9, 2018, the first teaser trailer was released, and it was screened theatrically with Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation and Christopher Robin.[15]

Television series
