Furrywood Studios Announces Completion of Full-Length 3D Animated Action Adventure Feature Film “CANINE ROYALE”
Palm Springs, CA (May 2026) – Furrywood Studios is thrilled to announce its first full-length 3D animated feature film, CANINE ROYALE.
Inspired by Brian Hoff’s 2007 animated screenplay 00K9, which was originally presented to major Hollywood studios, this hilarious 95-minute adventure follows the charismatic anthropomorphic canine detective Secret Agent 00K9 and his glamorous poodle co-star, actress Tinky Bigmoore. Together, they plunge into a thrilling, over-the-top investigation in the vibrant, multi-species fantasy metropolis of Furrywood.
In April, Brian Hoff signed a worldwide distribution agreement with House of Film. CANINE ROYALE will make its prestigious Avant Première at the 79th Cannes Film Festival in France (May 12–23, 2026).
Written, directed, and produced by award-winning animation producer Brian Hoff, the film draws inspiration from his beloved dog, Cosmo, as a puppy. After nearly two decades of development, this long-cherished passion project has finally been realized through the transformative power of AI tools and cutting-edge animation technology.
The film features stunning original character and production artwork by Alfie Vann, a veteran animator whose credits include work at Disney and DreamWorks on the animated feature films Madagascar (2005) and The Prince of Egypt (1998.)
CANINE ROYALE has already generated significant industry excitement. The project has been presented at leading animation and film markets, including the Annecy International Animation Festival, the American Film Market (AFM), Comic-Con, and Kidscreen. It has also received coverage in The Hollywood Reporter, Animation World Network, and Animation Magazine.
Brian Hoff is the founder of the Palm Springs International Animation Festival (PSIAF), a SAG-AFTRA member, and a published ASCAP recording artist. His film career began in 1994 at HBO. He has been quoted in Variety and has served as a jury member for the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards.
The film also showcases Palm Springs entertainer Prince Fleet Easton as the voice of Prince Wigglefeet, performing the original hit single "Level of Love", written by Brian Hoff and performed by Fleet Easton.
