It's an interesting time for Disney/ABC right now. I mean, with all the reimaginings. I mean, I don't watch
Once Upon a Time, even though I've been told that I would like it, but there's also the live-action
Snow White film, and disneyboy mentioned a live-action
Cinderella film. Not to mention
Maleficent.
Although I am for Disney to make an animated
The Princess and the Pea, even though they made
Once Upon a Mattress back in the day. See, it's like R&H's
Cinderella, since that was a remake of a remake of a remake of a Broadway show.
I mean, Tim Burton's
Alice in Wonderland was more based on the original story than Walt's version.

Although there isnt any news of disney making an animated version of this, there is an feature length animated film version, that came out in 2002 by feature films for family.
Personally I think this version far surpase any other adaptions, and in my mind, the animation and songs are on par of disney standards
Heres a the trailer of the film:

And also heres a review and interview with the director Mark Swan:

I didn't know that Hen-Wen had family.
And the look of it is a lot like
The Swan Princess (if that's the right film I'm thinking of...?) or
Thumbelina??
(That's website's great, though- thanks for posting it!)
And her hair reminds me of Aurora's...

I've never heard of that
Princess and the Pea adapation. I'm not sure if it's any good or not (animation quality doesn't always indicate song or story quality), but I'd like to see it.

It's on
YouTube but the quality is not very good.

Not the first time Beauty and the Beast would be turned into an hour-long TV series reimagining, either. Just seems a bit strange to have that come along while they've already got Once Upon a Time.
You do realize that we're talking about Disney's television department here, right? Grey's Anatomy a hit? Spin-off and make more medical shows. That's So Raven loved by kids? Years of cheap, laugh track shows ahead. Lost? Lots of one-seasoned hour-long sci-fi to follow.
It really was only a matter of time before they added more fairy tales after Once Upon a Time was a success.

What!!! How? Because I'm pretty sure it was so not!!!! Especially when it was just a sequel where the events of both Alice books already happened!

Well, I mean, it had some characters not in Walt's version (like the White Queen)...maybe I'm wrong, I just meant that it wasn't a remake of Walt's version...!
