Disney Teams Up with Guillermo Del Toro for Animated Horror [Double Dare You]: "

Add another name to Disney's ever-growing list of properties. Guillermo del Toro and Disney are teaming up to launch horror cartoon label Double Dare You, and they've already got a film in the works.

As part of its master plan to capture a greater male audience, Disney is looking to Double Dare You to create a darker slate of animated films than the usual Disney cartoon fare, as well as produce books and merchandising tie-ins.
