The result was    Keep. Consensus is that coverage is sufficient at this time, and that it should be classified as "in-production" given the lengthy cycles of animated films. Eluchil404 (talk) 03:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Completely fails WP:NFF. Not in production, no significant coverage in reliable sources, nothing but a "pending" note on ComingSoon. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 00:58, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Leaning towards Keep: The info from ComingSoon is based on a press release from DreamWorks, which also appeared in several notable sources (such as Variety). Further, animated films are generally in production for longer periods of time than live-action movies, so odds are work is underway. That said, the fact is that the book series the film is based on is 18 months from being published. So there's a lot of assumptions being made. Reasonable assumptions, perhaps, but assumptions nonetheless. If the book, for whatever reason, bombs, DW would probably 86 the project. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 01:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I declined a speedy delete because the article's author was a banned editor. The problem, however, was the editor sneaking in and not the article or the notability of its subject. A quick Google News search confirms notability: . Pastor Theo (talk) 03:07, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm actually surprising myself and voting to keep. I've blocked the user as a returning sock, but the MO of the account is slightly different than previous accounts.  If others are willing to pitch in and rescue this, I'm all for it.  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:18, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep – there are a scant few sources out there that provides some verifiability. I also moved to The Guardians of Childhood, but some sources say this is the title, while others say it isn't. I also rewrote the Plot section as it was a copyvio. MuZemike 21:45, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
