DreamWorks Animation is moving forward with a feature-length version of the doll-themed animated short film “Alma” reports The Los Angeles Times.

Megan Holley (“Sunshine Cleaning”) has been hired to pen the script while Guillermo del Toro is set to produce. del Toro will offer guidance on the project much like he did for DWA’s just released “Puss in Boots”.
