We haven't heard anything about DreamWorks Animation's Me and My Shadow, an original story that will blend hand drawn, two-dimensional animation with three-dimensional computer animation since the beginning of the year. The story follows Stan (voice by Bill Hader), a shadow who yearns for a more exciting life than being attached to a timid human named Stanley Grubb (Josh Gad). Suddenly a crime in the shadow community puts both of their lives in danger, and Stan is forced to take control of Stanley, thrusting both of them into an adventure featuring a shadowy villain, who intends to lead a rebellion to take over the human world. And now we have a first look at the promising film by way of the first teaser poster. Check it out!

The teaser poster for DWA's Me and My Shadow from the film's Facebook page via Ropes of Silcon:

Allessandro Carloni, the head of story from How to Train Your Dragon will make his directorial debut with Me and My Shadow, which reveals the once secret world of shadows and their human counterparts. Stan (Bill Hader), our hero's shadow, yearns for a more exciting life but happens to be stuck with Stanley Grubb (Josh Gad), a timid guy with an extreme aversion to adventure. When a crime in the shadow world puts both of their lives in danger, Stan is forced to take control of Stanley and stop the shadow villain from leading a rebellion into the human world. Kate Hudson also lends her voice to the film which is currently slated to hit theaters on March 14th, 2014. Stay tuned for more casting information as it becomes available. Cool?
