They Might Be Giants, a popular alternative music experience since 1982, recently released their second children's album through a partnership with Disney Sound. Now in a interview from Cat's Meow Magazine, they've mentioned that they are going to revisit the Sherman Brothers' "Great Big Beautiful Tommorow" for an animated feature based on the book "A Day for Wilbur Robinson".
Walt Disney Feature Animation announced in January that it will produce a CG movie based on the book by William Joyce called A Day With Wilbur Robinson. They are looking at a 2006 release for the project that is being produced by Dorothy McKim. The movie follows one fateful day in the life of a boy-genius who creates a mysterious machine with one fantastic purpose, to recover the lost memory of the past. What he unlocks instead is time itself, and a visit with a future, a family, and a world whose survival all depends upon him.

What projects are you working on now?
F: We just did this amazingly huge remake of a song from the 1964 World Fair called "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" that is going to be in an animated feature based on the book "A Day for Wilbur Robinson." It's totally orchestral with a soprano singing this Theremin-like line behind my vocal. It's really a nutty piece of arrangement.
