Rob Minkoff, who directed "The Lion King" and the "Stuart Little" films, has been attached to direct BAD DOGS, another talking-critter film, reports Variety.

The live-action pic will be financed by Level 1 Entertainment, the partnership between Bill Todman Jr., Edward Milstein and Paul Schwake.

BAD DOGS follows a pair of mismatched mutts who are sent to obedience school, escape and head off on an adventure.

Drew Fellman and Mark Pressman hatched the idea and the first draft, which is being rewritten by Mike Wilson ("Ice Age," "Shark Tale").
