New Mort animated film by Disney!

[DaveC]

Hey, long time reader first time poster While it is not quite Pixar - The website Blue Sky Disney is reporting that Disney is supposedly adapting Mort. The article does make it seem that it will be a very lose adaption though.

Following on from Overhawk's tip off I've expanded this into a full thread to attract more attention.

The directors of Princess and the Frog are apparently going to be makeing a Mort animated film (probably musical)!

Found a link here, will try to dig up some more soon.

:shock: I'll believe it when I see it!

Like 5 years ago when they said Sam Raimi was going to direct a Wee Free Men film!

I heard that too. However it was filmed, but with the storyline changed a teensy-weeny bit. They called it Avatar.

I really am no fan of Avatar at all! Couldn't beleive it took up so much space in the cinema for 3 months

Likewise, there is a long track record of these projects going nowhere.

Well when they take death out as a character and he is the protagonst it's no wonder Pterry puts the kibosh on in,the Midwest biblebelt crowd has a lot to answer for in stopping these films being made.

would love to see it but only if its done reasonably close to the spirit of the book.

According to the article I read it seems to be a loose adaptation.

Thank You.
I hope it will be good, but I guess we will have to wait three years to find out. Hopefully we will find out more soon.

I can just imagine a song and dance routine based around "I could murder a curry".
