David Lynch’s Snootworld
In conversation with deadlineDavid Lynch announced that Netflix had passed away Snootworldhis planned animated film, which he co-wrote Edward with the scissor hands And The Addams Family Screenwriter Caroline Thompson.
I don’t know when I started thinking about snoots, but I made these drawings of snoots and then a story started to develop. I met with Caroline and we worked on a script. Just recently I thought someone might be interested in being behind it, so I pitched it to Netflix over the last few months, but they turned it down. Snootworld is kind of an old-fashioned story and animation these days is more about superficial jokes. Old-fashioned fairy tales are considered groaners: apparently people don’t want to see them. It’s a different world now and it’s easier to say no than yes.
In the same interview, Thompson revealed that the film is about tiny creatures who get lost in a carpet after going through their people’s traditional shrinking ritual.
It takes my breath away how crazy this is. The snoots are these tiny creatures that go through a ritual transition at the age of eight. Then they get smaller and are sent away for a year to be protected. The world is thrown into chaos when the story’s snoot hero disappears into the carpet and his family can’t find him and he enters a crazy, great world.
