Puff the Magic Dragon movie in development at Fox Your eyes do not deceive you. Deadline reports that the Peter, Paul, & Mary song “Puff the Magic Dragon” is getting a feature film adaptation at 20th Century Fox. Said to be a hybrid live-action/animated movie, Mike Mitchell will direct. Mitchell recently directed the animated feature Trolls for DreamWorks Animation, but he’s also no stranger to the concept of combining live-action photography with animation, having directed Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked as well as the live-action portions of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.
