In this role he also led the development and production of feature films for Paramount Pictures including RUGRATS GO WILD and THE WILD THORNBERRYS MOVIE, which earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Song, RUGRATS IN PARIS, and THE RUGRATS MOVIE, which when released was the first animated film outside of Disney to earn more than $100,000,000. For the next nine years, Eryk worked as a writer/producer on OLIVIA, based on Ian Falconer's award-winning book; POPPY CAT, adapted from illustrator Lara Jones' picture book series and currently seen in 170 across the globe; and THE MR.
