The Walt Disney Co. has picked up the animated feature pitch "The Fool's Errand" from screenwriter David H. Steinberg ("American Pie 2"), reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Although details about the project are being kept under wraps, the story is said to center on a court jester who goes on a mythical journey to return peace to his kingdom.
"Fool" marks Steinberg's first venture into the animated family market as well as his first work with Disney. Next up for the writer is "After School Special," a comedy starring Amy Smart, Tom Arnold and Horatio Sanz that is in postproduction.
