Lion King producer to turn tale of the German cow who bolted from farm and evaded capture by hunters into animation
Yvonne the German cow evaded helicopters, dodged guns and even shunned her calf and best friend for a life on the run.
Now the tale of the runaway, who captivated the country last year when she bolted from her farm to escape slaughter and roamed free in the Bavarian countryside for three months, will provide fodder for a Hollywood animated film.
Cow on the Run will be produced by a Munich-based film company, Papa Löwe, and the film producer Max Howard, whose previous credits include Walt Disney's The Lion King.
Michael Aufhauser, founder of the Gut Aiderbichl animal sanctuary in southern Germany, which now looks after Yvonne, said the film – due to open in 2014 – was going to be very romantic. "Yvonne even falls in love," he said.
