New Famous Five Films

Post by Tony Summerfield »

We are currently going through another bout of media frenzy about the new Famous Five cartoon series to be made by Disney. If you read the various articles on the subject you will find that as is often the case they haven't done their research very thoroughly as the stories will have nothing to do with Enid Blyton other than the fact that they are the children of the originals. So the Famous Five in this case are Jo, Cole, Allie, Dylan and Timmy.

Try the link to find out more and then check some of the misinformed press stories (google - Enid Blyton - news) - http://www.brandrepublic.com/bulletins/ ... eneration/

I picture something similar to Scooby Doo!!

Best wishes

Thanks Tony. Very interesting.

An article in the Times came up on my google alert, and it certainly didn't mention that the series would be based on the children of the Famous Five.
This is a Green Knight Book which means that it is a book by one of the most popular authors of all.
