Warner Bros. and Midway Games Sign Video Game Development Deal

Burbank-based Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Midway Games Inc., have announced the signing of a multi-territory publishing agreement to develop video games based on “Happy Feet,” an animated feature film scheduled for release in November 2006. The multi-platform deal includes games for console, handheld and PC platforms. Under the agreement, Midway’s development teams will work in close conjunction with the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment production staff to create games that they hope will embody the “spirit and humor of the feature film.” The film stars the voices of Elijah Wood, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman and Robin Williams. It will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures.
