Peggy Holmes is boarding “Luck.” She’s replacing Alessandro Carloni as director on the Skydance Animation feature due to the latter’s “creative differences” with the company. Variety confirmed the news.

Described as “a comedy that pulls back the curtain on the millennia-old battle between the organizations of good luck and bad luck that secretly affects our daily lives,” the animated pic will be released via Paramount Pictures.

The source notes that “Holmes previously directed two of the most successful Disneytoon Studio ‘Tinker Bell’ films in their award-winning Fairies franchise.” Also a choreographer, she has choreography credits on films such as “A Very Brady Sequel,” “Hocus Pocus,” and “Newsies” and won an Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Choreography for her work on “Fame L.A.” She’s also worked in live music, including as an associate director on tour with Barbra Streisand.

“Peggy is an incredible creative talent and has already been a huge asset to our growing animation studio over the past year. We’re so happy to have her leading the team creating ‘Luck.’ She has the perfect mix of experience and artistic vision to bring this exciting project to the screen,” stated Skydance Animation president Holly Edwards.

“As a director in animation, collaborating with all of the artists is the biggest job that you have,” Holmes has said. “You have to figure out the vision of the movie and the tone of the movie, but then you work alongside all of the other artists here at the studio: so you are working with the writers, story artists, the character designers, and the art director. You all work together, and each person makes each stage of the movie better; that really is the best part,” she emphasized. “You might come up with an idea, but then the writer goes ‘oh my gosh, if you do that, then maybe we can do this.'”
