A new family movie in vein of "Toy Story" is being developed at Fox. The studio has optioned children's photo book "What the Dinosaurs Did Last Night" for big-screen adaptation. Karen Rosenfelt ("Marley & Me", "Twilight", "Percy Jackson") is set to serve as producer.

The book is created by parents Refe and Susan Tuma. They came up with the idea of toy-come-to-life tale as they tried to find a way to entertain their children. Each November, they created elaborate scenes at home with the kids' toy dinosaurs to give an impression that they came alive at night.

Editors' Pick

Like Pixar's "Toy Story", the dinosaurs wound up wrecking bathrooms, destroying vases, and doing the dishes. The Tumas took a picture of each scene and posted them on Facebook. It gained a number of fans and will be cataloged in a hardcover book on October 28 via Little, Brown and Company.
