Ansel Elgort is leading a star-studded cast of voice talent for the upcoming animated feature Groove Tails. The film, currently in production with animation expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026, will be introduced to buyers and members of the international animation industry at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
Produced by the team behind the Twilight franchise, Groove Tails is a music-driven family adventure from Imprint Entertainment and filmmaker Bob Logan. Based on a screenplay by Johnny Mack, the story follows a young mouse determined to become a world-famous dancer despite opposition from his father. Set in New York, the plot centres on a group of unlikely companions who must discover their own talents while fighting to save their home.
Joining Elgort, 32, in the ensemble are Halle Bailey, Ludacris, Alan Ritchson, J.B. Smoove, CeeLo Green and singer-actress Agnez Mo. Elgort is best known for Baby Driver and The Fault in Our Stars, while Bailey earned global recognition as Ariel in Disney's live-action The Little Mermaid.
Bob Logan, whose credits include The Lego Ninjago Movie and The Croods: A New Age, said: 'Groove Tails is a celebration of individuality, perseverance and the universal language of music. We've assembled an extraordinary cast that brings incredible energy, humour and heart to these characters.'
The film is produced by Oscar-winning producer Maryann Garger and Michael Becker of Imprint Entertainment. Executive producers include Jeff Elliott, Mary Aloe, Gilian Hormel, Jeff Gum, Graham Chan and Alan. According to producers, Groove Tails is designed as a four-quadrant animated feature with music and dance at its heart.
