[quote="Spartan Girl"]Original stories never hurt, but those seem to be in short supply these days. Besides, all its other ideas came from books/stories/old folktales [i]Aladdin[/i], [i]The Little Mermaid[/i], [i]Beauty and the Beast[/i]). It would at least be a good place to start.[/quote]

I heard that Disney was planning on a movie, or at least one with the same title, but nothing is official yet. For those who have not read it, it's the story of a good witch that enters a contest in order to marry a powerful wizard. The problem is that the contest involves black magic! It's good book to read while you're waiting for the next Harry Potter. <br /></td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />That would own the world! I love that book and have read it at least ten times! If done right, a movie about it could be one of the greatest things ever. Eva Ibbotson has some other good books that could be used, too. <br /> <br />Personally, I'd love to see Disney make something based on Astrid Lindgren's work. For those who don't know her, she was a Swedish author who wrote a lot for children. Among my favourites are <span style="font-style: italic">Mio, My Son</span> and <span style="font-style: italic">The Brothers Lionheart</span>. Both are fantasy stories for children. The latter tells about two brothers who die and travel to another world where they have great adventures. <br /> <br />She also has some fabulous short stories that would make wonderful movie adaptations. There's one about a boy who got sick and can never walk again and how a strange man comes to take him away to an imaginary world every evening. It's a little like <span style="font-style: italic">Alice in the Wonderland</span>, though. Then there's this story about a girl who has a secret twin in another world. It's quite a sad story. <br /> <br />Oh, and don't forget <span style="font-style: italic">Ronia, the Robber's Daughter!</span> Ronia lives in a castle in a forest with a band of robbers. She makes friends with Birk who is the son of another robber chieftain. Unfortunately, the bands are bitter enemies and Ronia and Birk have to learn a lot about life, love, friendship and fear. It has fantasy elements in it too, especially in the form of these bird creatures that haunt the forest. It's one of the best books I've ever read and it would be absolutely brilliant as a well-done Disney movie.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Syera</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu May 11, 2006 6:55 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">So'm I.
