Set in NYC, the comedy centers around Pierre (Cannon) who, born as a product of forbidden love between a hawk and a pigeon, is rejected by both the pigeon and hawk communities. Dejected and confused, Pierre sets out on a mission to find out where he belongs. During his adventure, he unites with a band of unlikely friends including a bear that has recently escaped from the Central Park Zoo, an owl whose genius is outweighed only by his madness, and a pair of ragtag, pop-cultured city squirrels with attitude. Amidst a journey of self-discovery, Pierre finds the courage to inspire animals from all backgrounds to change their ways and open their minds to a new way of thinking. It will take a hybrid bird to unite a hybrid world.

Goldberg will voice Pierre’s mother in the film while Coolidge will voice his aunt. Thompson voices Sniff, a hilarious, street-savvy, smooth-talking city squirrel.

Michael Goldman will serve as executive producer. Exodus will provide production services and is handling sales.

Cannon is repped by CAA, Michael Goldman, and Del, Shaw, Moonves; Goldberg by WME; Thompson by UTA Michael Goldman, and Del, Shaw, Moonves; Coolidge by UTA; Daily by Innovative Artists.
