MGM looks to be getting back into the animation game for the first time since 1989's All Dogs Go to Heaven as they've picked up the rights to adapt Jarrett J. Krosoczka's children's book Punk Farm into an animated film with The Simpsons Movie director David Silverman at the helm. Scripted by Jim Hecht ( Ice Age: the Meltdown ) and David Stern, it will be only MGM's second in-house project since reemerging from their bankruptcy with Prana Studios handling the animation. The story revolves around five barnyard animals who form an underground rock band. Besides directing and producing episodes of "The Simpsons" television series, Silverman was also a co-director on Disney.Pixar's Monsters, Inc. and director of The Road to El Dorado .

Ain't no party like a kids' book release party. On Sunday, Jan. 25, Little Shop of Stories in Decatur, Ga., was packed for the release party of Paste's An Indie Rock Alphabet Book. Oskar Blues provided the Dale's Pale Ale and local band Judi Chicago brought the rock. After a reading of Jarrett J. Krosoczka's Punk Farm, my daughters Jordan and Emma Jackson read their Indie Rock ABCs. It's even funnier when a kid reads, "Stone Temple Pilot turned into tools / But after all this time, Pearl Jam still rules." Co-authors Kate Kiefer and Rachael Maddux and illustrator owen the owen were on hand to sign copies of the book, while co-author Caren Kelleher was off expanding her brain at Harvard.
