‘Bridesmaids’ Annie Mumolo And The Groundlings’ Ariane Price Team For ‘Lulu And The Help You Crew’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumolo has signed on to co-create animated kids series Lulu and the Help You Crew.
She is working up the 3D CGI-animated show with comedian Ariane Price, a senior member of The Groundlings improv comedy sketch theater.
Both had small roles in Bridesmaids, the 2011 comedy feature Mumolo co-wrote with Kristen Wiig. They’re working closely with UK-based kids company Cake, which is leading development and production, and North American full-service studio Reel FX Animation.
