I'm looking for a list of novels that.....

[Satoshi]

Hey I'm wondering if there's a list somewhere online that contains all of the novels that Disney movies have been based on. Such as J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan and so on. Any help would be much appreciated.

It can be found on www.imdb.com there were a lot of good Disney movies based on books. The best one was Child Of Glass. The book was just as great as the movie.

Since it would take like three hours to list every novel or story every Disney film was based on, I'll just make a list for animation since those are the major ones (forgive me if I get some of the author's names misspelled or just totally wrong):

Snow White by the Brothers Grimm
The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi
Bambi by Felix Salten
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahamme
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
Cinderella by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm (based on both versions though credit is given to Perrault in the credits)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
Lady and the Tramp Ward Greene
Sleeping Beauty (see Cinderella)
101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith
The Once and Future King by T.B. White
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
Robin Hood by ???
Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne
House At Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne
Bernard and Miss Bianca by Margery Sharp
The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander
The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson
Beauty and the Beast by Madame Le Prince de Beaumont
1001 Arabian Nights by ???
The Lion King (not really based on it, but is influenced by Shakespeare's Hamlet)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
The Steadfast Tin Soldier by Hans Christian Anderson
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Hope that helps!

Thank you so so so much. So far I've only read Peter Pan and I'm working on the two "Alice" books right now. I just love reading the books that favorite movies of mine are based off of and Disney movies are some of my all-time favorites so now I'm trying to read as many of those books as I can. Thanks again.

Robin Hood by ???

Robin Hood doesn't have an author. It's long lost in the mists of time. The story is a traditional English tale told orally for generations.

1001 Arabian Nights by ???

If a name must be given to the author it will be Sir Richard Burton (no, not the actor) who "translated" the original stories to English. I use quotes around translated, because it is generally accepted that he rewrote the stories considerably to match some of his racial prejudices.

Robin Hood by ???

Robin Hood doesn't have an author. It's long lost in the mists of time. The story is a traditional English tale told orally for generations.

If you want to read a really good compilation of Robin Hood stories, check out The Adventures of Robin Hood by Roger Lancelyn Green.

Don't forget:

The One Hundred and One Dalmatians-by Dodie Smith
And as if the Disney "Dalmatian" sequels weren't bad enough, there was an original literary sequel called "The Starlight Barking" which apparantly is supposed to be some sort of a fantasy.

And of course everyone knows that "Snow Dogs" is based on "Dogsong" by Gary Paulsen.

I've read a lot of these, and own even more. It's always been my goal to read all the books that Disney films have been based on.

Pete's Dragon gives credit as follows: "Based on a story by Seton I. Miller and S.S. Field." However, I can never find anything like this by these people, or any real info on them either. Anyone out here know anything about it?
