Disney+ Unveils a Surprising Adventure: 'Flat Stanley' is Coming to Life!
Hold on to your seats, Disney fans! We have some exciting news that will delight both kids and the young at heart. Disney+ is about to bring a beloved children's book series to the screen, but with a twist! The iconic 'Flat Stanley' books are being adapted into an animated feature film, and it's already shaping up to be a unique adventure.
And here's the scoop: Mic Graves, the talented director behind the beloved Cartoon Network series 'Elliot from Earth' and 'The Amazing World of Gumball', is stepping into the spotlight. He's been chosen to direct and co-write this highly anticipated project, adding his signature touch to the story.
But here's where it gets intriguing: the film's plot seems to take a different path from the books. In the original story, Stanley becomes flat after a bulletin board accident, and he's the older brother. However, in this adaptation, Stanley's younger brother, Arthur, takes the spotlight, and the mythical 'Eye of Odin' plays a significant role in transforming him. A bold move, indeed!
The series, penned by the late Jeff Brown, has been a global phenomenon since its release in 1964, with over a million copies sold and translations into multiple languages. It's a classic that has captured the hearts of children worldwide.
Previously, Fox had plans for a 'Flat Stanley' movie, but now Disney+ is taking the reins. While production details remain under wraps, it's rumored to begin later this year, aiming for a 2027 release. If all goes well, it could become Disney's next big franchise.
