On April 3rd, Ryan Kugler, the 39-year-old Oscar-winning director behind Centers, is jumping into a fresh Disney Plus series based on the classic Anamorph's books. He'll executive-produce the shape-shifting adventure from 20th television, bringing back the 90s teen fantasy that sold over 35 million copies worldwide. The story follows a crew of high school kids who stumble on a secret alien invasion messing with their daily grind, uh, think curfews, crushes, and morphing into animals to fight back. Kugler teams up with his proximity media partners, Seville Hanion, and Zindzi Kugler, Plus Galastics, E.O. Lucezi, and Caitlin Friedman, Bayon Wilcott, whose pinstuff like the testaments writes and exec produces two. Anamorph's kicked off in 1996 with 54 books by K.A. Abelgate and Michael Grand, wrapping in 2001. It star-teens like Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel, and Tobias, battling parasitic yirks by turning into any creature they touch,

courtesy of a dying alien ally. This marks the second small-screen swing. Nickelodeon ran a 26-episode version from 1998 to 2000. Abelgate called her tales, scary and mind-bending, not just fun animal switches, and fans still write emotional letters crediting the series for life, paths like human rights law. Proximity Simone Harris and Desiguergos oversee it all, so expect the gritty update on those wild morphing battles that hooked a generation. Pop culture, powered by AI, this is entertainment and celebrity news today. I'm Corey with The Story.
