Meltdown in the freezer section

Lions Gate Family Entertainment has acquired the North American distribution rights to “Foodfight!,” the 3-D animated film from Larry Kasanoff’s Threshold Animation Studios. Slated for a nationwide fall 2006 release, “Foodfight!” takes place after hours in a supermarket that comes to life as a city of its own.

Featuring the voices of sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff, the film is directed by Kasanoff from a screenplay by Brent Friedman, Rebecca Swanson and Sean Derek, based on a story by Kasanoff and Joshua Wexler.
